A
Good
evening,

can
you
thank
you.
Can

Okay,

2017.
It

6:15
we're
starting
a
little
late,
I
apologize
for
that,
but
we'll
get
busy
with
the
agenda
right
away.
First
of
all,

any
opposed?
Okay,
we'll
go
quickly
through
the
items
for
consideration.
The
first
is
hh1.
It's
a
resolution
69
our
17
authorizing
the
city
manager
to
execute
the
professional
services
agreement
with
youth,
Job
Center,
to

the
building
career
pathways
to
sustainable
employment
program,

a
second
second,
okay
and
now
we'll
have
discussion,
alderman,
Fleming
I
might.
C
D
C
D
A
Is
there
anyone
else
who
wanted
to
speak
on
this?
Ok,
then,
all
those
in
favor
say
aye
imposed.
Ok
HH
is
the
2018
law
enforcement,
Torch
Run
Polar
Plunge
on
a
clerk
Street
Beach,
and
this
is
for
starting
at
8:00
a.m.
on
February,
16th
and
finishing
at
approximately
3:00
p.m.
on
February
18th,
and
that
is
for
action.
Is
there
a
motion
and.
E
A
D
Again,
Lawrence
anyway,
director
of
Parks
and
Rec
madam
chair,
the
length
of
time
is
four
to
set
up
in
the
size
of
the
tent.
This
event
is
as
a
Polar
Plunge
is
planned
in
the
winter,
and
so
the
tent
and
the
size
of
the
takes,
you
know
half
a
day
itself
to
get
put
up,
and
then
there
is
the
delivery
of
the
equipment
to
support
the
event,
and
so
that's
the
only
reason.
D
D
You
have
participants
that
come
from
all
over
the
state
to
come
and
support
to
come
and
support
the
event
and
what
they
some
are
at
the
at
the
lakefront,
and
so
they
are
in
the
tent
there's
no
activity
overnight
in
terms
of
people
plunging
or
jumping
in
the
water.
But
there
are
participants
because
people
come
from
so
far
that
are
in
the
tent
are.
D
They're
there
late
overnight,
just
the
one
night
be
prior
to
the
event,
because
sometimes
they
you
know
that
people
are
arriving.
You
know
extremely
early
like
6
a.m.
some.
Are
there
5
a.m.?
But
there
are
a
few
of
the
organizers
who
are
there
overnight
to
welcome
those
guests
as
they
arrive
that
early
did.
A
D
D
A
Want
people
to
know
that
I've
this
is
in
my
ward
and
I've,
received
many
complaints
from
persons
about
about
this
particular
event.
It's
a
wonderful
event,
a
good
cause,
but
I
wish.
We
could
make
it
more
consistent
with
a
one-day
one-day
event
and
not
be
so
open-ended
about
it
or
loosey-goosey
about
it.
Thank
you
and
I
hope
northwestern
finishes
their
construction.
A
A
Because
we
don't
have
people
who
have
signed
up
for
these
particular
issues,
yet
we're
coming
to
one
that
does
have
people
signed
up
for
it.
That's
H,
h3,
ordinance,
39,
oh
17,
amending
the
city
code,
title
8,
chapter,
5,
sections,
1,
3,
&,
4,
weeds
and
that's
for
introduction,
and
we
have
two
people
that
are
signed
up
for
citizen
comment.
A
A
F
F
A
G
A
H
Les
Lesley
shed
on
Evanston
resident
I'm
Dan
vice-president
citizens,
Wiener
Evanston,
just
speaking
on
the
weed
ordinance
briefly
I
just
wanted
to
mention.
I,
wasn't
here
at
the
last
discussion
of
the
weed
ordinance.
This
was
basically
a
1950s
ordinance
that
was
sort
of
looking
at
aesthetically.
What
taking
care
of
properties
and
the
purpose
of
the
revision
was
really
just
to
focus
on
plants
that
could
be
neighborhood
problems,
things
that
are
invasive
things
that
are
noxious
and
not
so
much
doing
an
aesthetic
overlay
to
it.
H
So
it
so
that's
why
it
references
the
state,
noxious
weed
and
the
state
exotic
weed
ordinances.
These
are
the
sorts
of
weeds
from
the
discussion.
I'll
just
explain.
These
are
the
source
of
plants
that,
if,
if
somebody
lets
them
go
in
their
yard,
it
doesn't
just
limit
itself
to
their
yard
and
their
seeds,
they're,
they're,
very
prolific
they're.
H
This
illustrative,
Illinois
and
and
federal
government
has
recognized
that
these
are
plants
that
are
profused
and
producing
seeds
and
they
spread
wildly,
and
so
that's
why
the
city
would
have
an
interest
kind
of
controlling
those
plants,
as
opposed
to
things
like
which
we've
taken
off
of
the
ordinance
milkweed,
which
has
some
environmental
value
and
it
does
spread,
but
it's
not
an
invasive
spreader.
The
way
some
of
these
really
noxious.
These
are
the
most
noxious
weeds,
so
anyway,
I'm
just
trying
to
clarify
that
it
was
a.
I
J
Let's
keen
nature's
perspective
I'm
also
on
the
environmental
board
and
resident
you
know,
so.
We've
worked
on
this
to
revise
this,
to
reflect.
What
actually
is
a
grass
versus
a
cultivated
grass
or
a
non
cultivated
grass
as
well,
in
addition
to
simplifying
the
ordinance,
so
it
follows
with
the
rest
of
the
state
ordinances,
so
I
urge
you
to
accept
this
Thanks.
J
A
C
C
K
Day
honorable
members
of
the
Human
Services
Committee
I'm
I
go
well
Public
Health,
Manager,
Health
and
Human
Services
Department.
We
reviewed
the
we
done,
and
then
we
arrived
at
a
consensus
that
all
weeds
are
uncultivated
Huizar
on
the
nauseous.
Wait
list
has
to
be
cut
at
a
level,
so
eight
inches
or
anything
below
that
anything
that
exceeds.
That
is
actually
a
good
violation.
So
we
had
conversations
with
the
law
department
and
we
had
conversations
with
the
Public
Works
Department
and
that's
pretty
much
what
we
arrived
at.
A
Okay,
any
other
comments.
Okay,
then,
all
of
those
in
favor
of
ordinance,
38,
Oh,
17,
say
aye
aye
aye.
Are
there
any
opposed?
Okay,
then
we're
moving
on
to
HH
4th
the
Torrens
grant
staff
recommends
the
approval
of
payment
for
the
lead
rehabilitation
of
the
property
located
at
13
21
Elmwood
Avenue
lead
sources
have
been
abated
from
the
address
and
a
clearance
was
performed
certifying
the
abatement.
That's
for
action
tonight
is
their
motion.
L
A
C
K
Okay,
good
day,
I
could
work
in
Health
and
Human
Services
Department.
The
reason
why
we
created
this
dis
proposal
so
to
speak
is
to
take
a
look
at
the
way
that
we
conduct
rental
inspections.
Currently
we
inspect
pretty
much
all
the
you
are
the
units,
the
exterior
the
common
areas
as
well
and
from
review
of
it.
That's
actually
not
following
best
practices.
So
it's
pretty
much
geared
towards
a
rental
inspections,
and
it
does
have
a
component
to
news
as
premises
because
it
goes
in
conjunction
with
with
criminal
activity
and
property
maintenance
issues.
K
A
M
Good
evening
madam
chair
and
H
SC
members,
my
name
is
Karen
Cartwright,
and
you
probably
know
why
I'm
standing
up
here,
it's
getting
to
be
my
practice.
I
want
to
reiterate
some
of
the
comments
that
I
made
last
month
about
not
waiting
until
we
have
a
panel
in
place
to
review
the
citizen
police
complaint
process,
but
I
believe
strongly
that
actions
can
begin
now
to
address
the
concerns
of
many
Evans
stony
ins,
and
especially
those
in
the
black
and
brown
communities,
with
policies
in
the
culture
of
our
Police
Department.
M
That
helps
sustain
a
lack
of
trust
and
confidence
in
the
department.
Changes
to
the
culture
of
our
Police
Department
are
needed
because
the
police
hold
the
power
in
relationships
with
citizens
and
I
contend
that
they
must
be
willing
to
take
the
first
second
and
third
steps
toward
repairing
the
relationship
with
some
of
these
communities
in
Evanston
recognizing
their
significant
role.
In
setting
the
tone
of
that
relationship.
The
status
quo
is
no
longer
good
enough
and
only
retraining
of
our
excellent
officers
and
commands
we'll
bring
about
the
culture
change
that
is
needed
for
our
community.
M
I
respectfully
ask
the
HSC
to
review
the
policies
and
general
orders
that
the
police
operate
under
and
request
changes
that
will
enhance
the
building
of
trust
between
the
police
and
the
black
and
brown
communities.
I
also
ask
that
the
alternatives
to
arrest
committee
study
the
recently
FOIA
data
showing
a
great
disparity
in
the
arrests
of
black
children
and
ask
the
police
to
think
with
an
open
mind
about
why
this
is
happening.
M
I
also
urge
you
to
request
the
implementation
of
retraining
of
all
of
our
officers
on
implicit
bias,
the
use
of
discretion
and
how
to
interact
with
juveniles,
and
for
that
matter,
all
citizens
and
set
the
expectation
that
all
citizens
be
treated
in
a
manner
that
recognizes
the
inherent
Worth
and
affirms
the
dignity
of
all
citizens.
Even
criminals,
I
put
two
sheets
on
your
on
your
desk.
M
There
one
is
a
summary
of
the
past
five
years:
citations
of
operating
a
bicycle
obstructing
traffic
for
which
Ian
Beatty
was
recently
arrested
and
you'll
see
that
this
ordinance
is
rarely
used.
But
when
it
is,
it's
disproportionately
used
for
black
boys
and
men.
Only
one
of
the
nine
cases
since
2012
was
for
a
white
man.
He
was
39
years
old.
All
those
arrested
he
was
cited.
All
those
who
were
arrested
were
black.
M
No
juvenile
has
been
cited
with
this
ordinance
since
2013,
that
was
a
20
a
16
year
old
black
boy
officers
have
the
ability
to
use
discretion
and
handing
out
penalties
listed
in
the
ordinance
include
a
bicycle
safety
leaflet,
a
letter
of
reprimand
sent
to
the
child
and
their
parent
or
guardian
and
a
small
fine
arrest
is
not
mentioned,
except
for
cases
where
the
particular
circumstances
and/or
because
of
the
offender's
history
of
bicycle
related
violations.
I
know
that
to
not
have
been
the
case
with
young
Ian
Beatty.
M
M
Passing
okay
I
actually
only
have
two
more
sentences.
Thank
you
very
much,
madam
chair
I
remind
you
that
Evanston's
population
is
only
twenty
percent
african-american
in
order
to
conclude
that
black
children
are
engaged
in
arrest,
able
behavior
due
to
something
other
than
bias,
you'd
have
to
say
that
they're
four
times
more
likely
to
be
criminal
than
their
counterparts.
This,
of
course,
is
ridiculous.
M
A
N
N
So
it's
a
little
hard
to
remember
sort
of
what
was
you
know
what
a
9
or
10
year
old
is
like,
but
I
I
know
for
sure
that
she
was
7
when
we
went
to
see
the
animated
film
The,
Little
Mermaid,
and
she
asked
me
and
her
dad
as
we
were
walking
up
the
aisle
of
a
theatre.
If
any
of
that
was
real,
and
that
was
seven
years
old
to
only
two
years
younger
than
a
nine-year-old
kid
I
guess.
L
O
Thank
you
Dan.
My
name
is
Mitra
Hartmann
I
live
in
the
Ninth
Ward
and
Miss
Fleming
is
my
alderman
I'm
here
to
discuss
my
concerns
about
the
Beatty
case
and
the
associated
police
investigation.
I'll
begin
by
summarizing
the
issues
at
stake.
Let's
be
clear
that
the
issue
is
not
that
the
children
on
the
bicycle
were
stopped
by
the
police.
The
issue
is
not
that
their
parents
were
notified.
O
The
first
issue
is
excessive
police
action
in
response
to
a
preteen
bicycle
infraction
that
resulted
in
a
formal
station
adjustment,
the
equivalent
of
a
felony,
rather
than
a
more
reasonable
response.
The
second
issue
is
misinforming,
the
parent
about
the
nature
of
his
child's
arrest
and
the
forms
required
to
secure
the
release
of
his
child.
The
third
issue
is
the
delay
in
the
correction
of
this
error
and
the
lack
of
a
proactive
course
to
help
the
family
resolve
this
issue.
O
With
these
three
issues
in
mind,
I
have
three
specific
concerns,
each
of
which
is
framed
as
a
set
of
questions.
I
do
not
anticipate
that
these
questions
will
be
answered
tonight.
Rather,
my
primary
reason
for
presenting
them
is
to
respectfully
request
that
the
City
answer
these
questions
in
a
public
manner
in
a
public
written
statement
so
that
citizens
can
stay
informed.
O
My
first
concern
is
a
request
for
increased
public
clarity
about
the
investigative
stages.
My
understanding
is
that,
after
this
committee
meeting,
the
case
will
then
be
reviewed
in
the
following
order:
the
Office
of
Professional
Standards
Police,
Chief,
Eddington,
the
citizens,
police,
Advisory,
Committee
and
finally,
back
to
this
particular
Human
Services
Committee.
Although
I
understand
that
these
all
of
these
stages
were
established
with
the
intent
of
increasing
transparency,
I
believe
that
I
speak
for
many
of
us
when
I
say
that
I
find
them
very
confusing.
O
How
can
the
public
find
out
what
questions
are
being
asked
at
each
stage?
3?
Does
this
investigation
specifically
concern
the
beatty
case,
or
is
this
investigation
primarily
intended
to
assess
general
procedures
within
the
police
department?
For
does
this
investigation
have
any
power
to
change
the
outcome
of
the
beatty
case,
if
not,
then,
to
whom
and
where
should
we
address
our
concerns
about
the
case
5?
How
is
community
input
used
during
the
investigative
process
6,
who
is
to
be
held
accountable
for
the
outcomes
of
this
investigation?
O
O
Why
was
the
decision
made
to
bring
Ian
back
to
the
station
instead
of
simply
giving
him
a
warning,
as
is
often
done
for
traffic
infractions
and
for
other
non
violent
incidents
to
section
5.30?
One
of
the
compiled
statutes
of
the
Illinois
General
Assembly
states
that
in
deciding
whether
to
impose
a
station
adjustment,
the
police,
shell
officers
shall
consider
the
age
of
a
minor
culpability
whether
the
offence
was
committed
in
an
aggressive
or
a
premeditated
manner,
and
whether
there
was
a
deadly
weapon
involved.
It
is
clear
that
Ian
is
in
middle
school,
not
high
school.
O
He
that
he
was
a
passenger
on
the
bicycle
and
is
thus
not
culpable
for
riding
the
bike
against
the
light
that
he
could
not
have
premeditated
the
act
as
he
had
no
control
over
the
bike,
and
it
is
certainly
clear
that
there
is
no
weapon
at
all
involved.
What
evidence
is
there
a
doubt
that
any
of
these
factors
were
considered
in
the
decision
to
impose
a
station
adjustment
3
the
same
section
of
the
statutes
states
that
the
officer
shall
consider
the
quote.
O
Seriousness
of
the
offense
as
you've
just
heard,
the
range
of
offenses
includes
premeditated
aggressive
assault
with
a
deadly
weapon
is
a
twelve-year-old
child
riding
as
a
passenger
on
a
bicycle,
a
serious
offense.
In
this
context,
what
grounds
were
there
to
impose
any
kind
of
station
adjustment,
either
formal
or
informal
for,
given
that
the
decision
to
make
it
impose
a
station
adjustment
was
made?
Why
was
the
decision
then
made
to
make
it
a
formal
station
adjustment?
O
A
formal
station
adjustment
is
equivalent
to
a
felony,
is
taken
at
an
emission
of
as
an
admission
of
guilt
and
goes
on
the
minors
permanent
Illinois
record
violating
a
bicycle
law
in
Evanston
is
supposed
to
be
an
infraction,
not
a
felony
five.
Why
did
the
arrest
warrant
state
that
only
an
informal
station
adjustment
had
been
filed
when
actually
it
was
a
formal
station
adjustment?
Six,
why
did
Ian
father
have
to
sign
a
formal
station
adjustment
in
order
to
secure
the
release
of
his
son
seven?
O
Why
was
Ian's
father
led
to
believe
that
he
was
signing
an
informal
station
adjustment
when
he
was
actually
signing
a
formal
one?
Eight
if
this
was
an
administrative
glitch?
Why
did
nobody
in
the
department
notice
the
errors
during
the
30-day
appeal
period
and
inform
the
baby
family
so
that
they
could
consider
the
option
of
appeal
9?
Why
did
Ian
father
not
receive
correct
information
about
the
nature
of
the
arrest
until
he
requested
and
obtained
the
physical
arrest
report
and
station
adjustment
copy
10,
once
the
error
was
discovered?
O
Was
there
an
effort
made
to
allow
an
extension
of
the
30-day
window
permitted
to
revoke
mr.
Beatty
signature
11?
It
is
clear
that
there
were
multiple
decision
points
made
by
multiple
people
that
led
to
this
undesirable
outcome.
To
what
extent
does
this
compounding
of
error
reflect
aspects
of
a
culture
embedded
within
the
Evanston
Police
Department?
My
third
concern
is
that
the
city
has
a
responsibility
to
help
remediate
the
mischaracterization
of
this
case
currently
circulating
in
Evans.
O
My
question
here
is
that
I
would
like
publicly
answered
in
a
written
statement
if
possible,
what
steps
does
the
city
plan
to
take
to
ensure
that
the
issues
at
stake
in
this
case
are
made
clear
to
the
public
finally
to
wrap
up
I'd
like
to
advocate
for
four
points
towards
a
common
sense?
What
many
people
might
see
as
a
common-sense
solution,
first
find
a
way
to
expunge
Ian's
record
under
Section
five
point:
nine
one:
five
of
the
compiled
statutes
of
the
Illinois
General
Assembly.
O
It
is
not
a
good
use
of
taxpayer
money
for
the
city
to
go
to
court
to
try
to
defend
itself
in
this
particular
instance:
ii
apologize
to
Ian
and
his
family
for
filing
a
formal
station
adjustment
and
for
mistakenly
miss
informing
them
about
the
some
of
the
forms
that
they
were
required
to
sign.
Third,
complete
the
investigation
of
Evanston
police
culture
and
fourth
make
available
to
the
public
the
issues,
the
progress
and
the
outcome
of
this
case.
Thank
you.
P
Good
evening,
the
arrest
of
the
young
boys
of
color,
who
were
riding
on
a
bike
by
the
Evanston
Police
Department,
is
abominable.
Does
EPD
not
have
a
youth
division
and
if
so,
is
that
division
trained
to
interact
with
youth
appropriately?
That
is
non
aggressively
non-threatening
me
or
do
appropriate
Evanston
police
department
interactions
with
youth
depend
on
the
race
or
color
other
youth
involved.
It
is
disappointing
and
embarrassing
to
feel
that
this
is
Evanston
Mississippi,
many
of
in
stone
Ian's
liked
to
stick
their
tests
out
about
a
variety
of
ethnicities,
races
and
religions
in
Evanston.
P
But
that
does
not
mean
all
the
people
are
treated
fairly
or
equitably.
I
think
the
late
Lord
Shepherd
described
Evanston
accurately
when
he
coined
the
phrase:
drive-by
diversity,
a
headline
in
the
August
30th
edition
of
the
Chicago
Tribune
says:
quote:
state
AG,
meaning
the
Attorney
General
pushes
for
police
reforms
included
in
that
the
article
is
the
following
and
I
quote:
Illinois
Attorney
General
Lisa
Madigan
on
Tuesday
sue,
the
city
of
Chicago,
contending
Mayor
Rahm
Emmanuel's
reforms
are
not
sufficient
to
prevent
the
Chicago
Police
Department
from
continuing
a
pattern
of
deadly
and
excessive
force.
P
That
disproportionately
hurts
african-americans
and
Latinos
Madigan's
move
effectively
pushes
Emanuel
toward
acknowledging.
He
will
have
to
accept
a
federal
judge's
oversight
of
the
police
department
from
what
is
being
revealed
about
the
mistreatment
of
people
of
color
by
the
Evanston
Police
Department
attorney
general
Madigan
also
needs
to
sue
Evanston
because
of
the
alleged
racism
displayed
by
Evanston
police
officers
went
out
in
the
community.
I
have
to
also
wonder
if
racism
is
also
a
problem
within
the
Evanston
police
depart
department.
As
far
as
interactions
among
the
officers.
Thank
you.
Q
Hi
I'm
Janet,
Kirby,
I'm
resident
at
7:19,
Noyes,
Street
and
really
my
comments
are
threefold.
First
and
foremost,
I'm
here
to
add
my
voice
to
the
many
who
are
disturbed,
outraged
and
saddened
by
the
inappropriate
arrest
and
detention
of
Ian
Beatty
and
his
friends
for
behavior,
which,
as
I
understand
it,
was
normative
non
non
malevolent.
Adolescent,
behavior
and
I
want
to
understand,
as
does
everybody
else,
what
the
arresting
officers
were
thinking
and
what
good
they
thought
could
possibly
come
of
their
actions
either
in
the
short
or
long
term.
R
Good
evening,
madam
chair
and
it's
committee,
thank
you
for
having
us
here
and
listening
to
her
comments
as
I
was
sitting.
I
was
thinking
back
about
the
evolution
of
this
discussion
since
November
of
last
year,
where,
in
the
past
year,
we've
had
this
similar
discussions
repeatedly,
beginning
with
our
City
Clerk's
illegal
arrest
in
November,
continuing
with
the
release
of
the
Crosby
video
and
then
tonight
and
I
appreciate
the
discussion
and
the
examination
that
those
incidents
have
led
to.
R
Involved
in
the
community
and
knew
how
to
take
action,
we're
paying
attention,
because
the
video
of
mr.
Crosby's
beating
was
released
and
made
public
and
we're
paying
attention
because
Ian's
parents
are
folks
who
know
how
to
draw
appropriate
scrutiny
to
the
mistreatment
that
their
son
received.
Those
are
three
incidents
that
we
know
about.
R
I'd
suggest
that
the
numbers
that
the
statistics
that
we've
had
the
chance
to
see
about
the
actions
of
Evanston
police
department
show
us
quite
clearly
the
these
three
incidents
that
we
have
paid
attention
to,
or
only
the
very
small
tip
of
the
iceberg,
and
there's
a
lot
going
on
that.
We
don't
hear
about
and
a
lot
going
on
a
lot
of
incidents
that
are
just
as
egregious
that
we
haven't
examined.
R
The
repetition
of
these
incidents
and
we'll
continue
to
see
it
until
we
are
able
to
fully
examine
the
scope
of
this
problem
and
take
responsibility
for
remediating
it.
Until
that
point,
we
are
all
going
to
be
less
safe
because
the
police
and
our
communities
aren't
going
to
be
cooperating
in
a
way
that
serves
our
community
and
our
safety,
and
so
I'm
glad
that
we're
paying
attention
to
this
issue.
R
I
I'm
Priscilla
Giles
from
the
fifth
Ward
World
War
two
began
before
it
was
declared.
It
began
as
racial
harassment
and
escalated
into
punishments.
Far
beyond
the
infractions
committed
with
the
present
administration
in
Washington,
it
seems
it's
the
same
thing.
That's
really
its
ugly
head
here
in
Evanston
is
Evanston
on
its
way
to
becoming
a
police
state
with
the
first
victims,
black
and
brown
youth.
They
may
not
be
the
same
victims
as
before,
but
it
can
spread
and
become
the
same
kind
of
place
that
it
began
in
World,
War,
two
and.
S
Good
evening,
Irena
Campbell
I'm
from
the
a
Ford
I'm
also
here
to
speak,
obviously
about
the
arrest
of
Ian
Beatty
and
his
friends.
I
also
have
the
2016
arrest
record
from
was
from
the
epd
that
of
the
juveniles
arrested
in
2016.
Thirty
five
were
white
and
113
were
black
and
I
want
to
thank
the
people.
Who've
spoken
before
me.
Who've
done
a
lot
of
research
and
and
looked
at
a
lot
more
numbers.
S
That
I
think
cannot
be
refuted
that
there's
real
bias
at
work
here
in
regard
to
the
community,
policing
and
the
treatment
of
our
youth
I
just
want
to
say.
If
we
want
to
improve
relations
between
our
law
enforcement
and
community,
we
need
to
agree
and
how
best
to
engage
our
youth,
because
the
way
we
treat
them
will
without
question
determine
their
attitudes
towards
law
enforcement
and
towards
our
city.
So
I
ask
you
to
think
of
how
an
Bedi
and
the
other
boys
who
were
arrested
were
treated.
S
S
Perhaps
if
that
was
even
the
intention,
we
cannot
measure
our
progress
and
good
intentions,
but
rather
the
impact
on
the
kids
and
the
greater
community
because,
as
you
see,
it
affects
all
of
us
and
all
of
our
attitudes
and
behaviors
with
regard
to
law
enforcement,
I
mean
you
know
it's
spreading
like
an
infection,
Ian's
friends
and
neighbors
and
all
the
friends
of
the
family.
We
are
all
affected
by
this,
and
even
people
who
don't
know
them
who
feel
so
strongly
about
it.
S
All
the
people
who
are
here
tonight,
some
of
them
not
even
coming
to
speak
but
just
here
to
show
their
support
so
in
terms
of
community
building,
will
the
experience
positively
or
negatively
shape
the
kids
attitudes
towards
police
and
other
authorities
for
the
rest
of
their
lives
without
question.
We
all
want
to
keep
our
kids
safe,
but
how
many
ways
can
we
imagine
reimagine
this
being
handled
so
that
have
been
so
that
it
would
have
been
a
better
learning
opportunity?
S
The
external
warning,
like
they
mentioned
or
called
home,
not
a
traumatic
incident
that
goes
on
a
child's
permanent
record.
What
path
might
me
unintentionally
send
kids
down
if
they
feel
like
they've,
already
got
a
strike
against
them
and
a
stereotype
that
pervades
is
something
that
if
someone
is
running
from
law
enforcement,
they
must
be
guilty
of
a
crime.
We
cannot
measure
this
on
the
white
privilege
bar
if
I'm
driving
with
the
taillight
that
just
went
out
and
I
see
those
blinking
lights
and
the
siren
pulling
me
over.
S
My
heart
starts
racing,
but
my
first
thought
is
this:
is
gonna?
Make
me
late,
not
will
I
make
it
home
tonight
now,
if
I
see
my
group
of
people
being
stopped
and
frisked
at
higher
rates,
I
am
definitely
going
to
be
on
a
higher
alert.
If
I
see
an
officer
looking
in
my
direction,
even
if
I'm
just
walking
down
the
street
and
when
I
pick
up
my
pacer
keep
looking
over
my
shoulder
does
that
make
me
look
sketchy
or
guilty
or
more
deserving
of
being
followed.
S
Now
I
add
to
that
images
of
my
people
being
beaten,
arrested,
shot
killed
with
their
hands
up
backs
to
the
law,
I
will
absolutely
run,
I,
wouldn't
fear
being
made
late
as
much
as
I
would
fear
for
my
life.
So
how
do
we
come
back
from
this?
What
are
their
models
of
restorative
justice
and
working
with
our
youth?
Can
we
put
into
policy
and
practice?
S
T
Good
evening,
madam
chairperson
I
want
to
share
my
incident
that
took
place
this
Monday
a
couple
of
friends
of
mine.
We
walked
to
the
lake
every
day
and
that
Monday
morning
that's
approximately
about
8:30.
We
were
headed
north
on
Chicago
in
Maine
and
just
being
aware
of
our
surrounding
and
notice
them
african-american
young
man,
maybe
18
to
21
years
old
sitting
down
in
front
of
the
subway
station.
T
There,
Subway
restaurant
listening
to
his
music
had
his
ear
buds
in
and
had
his
drink,
a
pop
sitting
on
the
table
there
and
all
of
a
sudden
before
we
cross
one
police
car,
came
up
and
got
out
and
asked
him
for
his
like
what
was
he
doing?
There
show
him
some
identification,
while
that
was
happening.
A
second
police
officer
car
drove
up.
He
got
out
so
we
went
across
to
say
you
know
what
he
wasn't
doing
anything.
Why
are
they
doing
this
to
him?
T
So
while
we
went
over
and
stood
there
to
make
sure
what
was
happening,
because
this
is
our
community
and
due
to
the
e'en
BT's
incident,
my
awareness
has
been
heightened
of
what
police
can
do
solve
this
by
and
then
by
that
time
the
third
police
car
came
for
somebody
who
was
just
sitting
there
drinking
their
pop
listening
to
music.
So
the
second
white
officer
came
over
and
said:
what
do
you
want?
We
said
we're
just
making
sure
you're
not
doing
anything
to
this
to
this
young
person.
T
Here
he
said
you
don't
have
to
worry,
we're,
not
gonna
beat
him.
Yes,
he
did.
Yes,
he
did
and
I
could
do
you
know.
I
should
have
took
his
badge
number
now
and
I'm,
not
sure
what
I
can
film
and
what
I
can't
and
I
don't
want
myself
droning.
You
know
drawn
into
a
situation
where
I'm
gonna
be
held
and
be
you
know,
ticketed
for
just
standing
there,
knowing
my
rights,
so
I
think
it
was
totally
unprofessional,
unjust
and
wrong.
So
I
agree.
U
Good
evening
Michael
neighbours
to
the
committee
chair
and
members
of
the
committee
I
serve
as
president
of
the
Evanston
Northshore
n-double-a-cp
and
pastor
of
Second
Baptist
Church
of
Evanston.
We
are
happy
to
say
that
the
n-double-a-cp
probably
has
on
its
roll
about
350
to
400
persons,
and
second
baptist
has
on
its
roll
a
man
yeah
about
2500
persons
and
I
am
happy
to
be
representing
them
and
also
to
share
concerns
about
what
we
have
been
talking
about
before
I
get
into
prepared
remarks.
I
do
want
to
say
that
it's
been
an
interesting
month.
U
U
The
other
minister
that
was
stopped
was
stopped
just
this
morning,
while
he
was
taking
his
children
to
school.
The
police
officer
said
that
he
did
not
come
to
a
full
stop
whether
he
made
a
rolling
stop
at
a
at
a
stop
sign,
and
he
contested
that
because
he
said
that
somebody
was
walking
across
the
street
and
had
he
gone
past,
the
white
mine,
he
would
have
run
into
that
person.
So
I
want
to
say
that
we're
concerned
about
some
things
that
are
happening
in
heaven.
U
Part
of
its
appeal,
part
of
its
charm
and
allure,
is
the
fact
that
it
is
a
town
that
represents
itself
as
a
place
for
all
people.
We
are
proud
of
our
international
cosmopolitan,
or
that
includes
every
color
of
the
rainbow,
a
mixture
of
ratio
and
ethnic
groups
that
serves
as
a
microcosm
of
the
larger
world
and
the
fact
that
we
are
resource
rich
in
shaping
character
and
developing
minds
for
this
day
and
age.
We
possess
a
world-class
University,
a
world-class
seminary
and
we
believe
world-class
people.
U
We
are
an
interesting
array
of
businesses,
restaurants,
families
and
residents.
There
are
a
few
places
anywhere
that
has
the
atmosphere
and
environment
of
our
town.
My
arrival
here
two
and
a
half
years
ago,
had
me
going
and
saying
to
other
folks
pinch
me:
can
this
be
real
and
now,
to
a
certain
degree,
I
retain
similar
feelings
that
I
had
upon
my
arrival,
and
yet
they
are
a
company
now
by
a
growing
concern
that
not
everyone
is
exposed
to
what
I
have
experienced.
Not
everyone
in
our
town
is
reaping
the
dividends
of
602
o1
or
602.
U
Oh
two,
zip
codes.
Not
everyone
possesses
the
same
level
of
comfort,
the
same
oneness,
the
same
confidence
and
hopes
when
they
walk
up
and
down
our
town
streets
and
fry
too
often
those
who
don't
feel
these
attributes
are
people
of
color
and
specifically
african-americans
as
if
that
would
not
a
challenge
all
by
itself.
U
The
greater
challenge
is
that
african-american
children
are
being
made
to
feel
this
way
in
our
town,
one
of
the
greatest
gifts
of
our
town
or
any
time
for
that
matter
is
for
a
child
to
walk
or
ride
a
bike
through
it
with
a
feeling
of
being
safe.
One
of
the
best
feelings
in
the
world
is
to
see
an
officer
ride
by
a
walk
by
and
to
know
that
you're
being
cared
for
and
protected,
never
should
a
child
feel
afraid,
worried
or
uncertain
when
they
see
any
member
of
the
Evanston
police
department.
U
Never
should
any
person
of
color
feel
afraid,
worried
or
uncertain
when
they
see
a
member
of
that
department,
but
when
they
may
be
stopped
or
pulled
over
by
an
officer-
and
you
have
the
enormous
amount
of
statistical
information
and
data
that
you've
heard
tonight
about
the
stops
by
our
officers
as
it
relates
to
people
of
color,
is
crystal
clear.
Something
is
wrong.
In
a
town
where
blacks
represented
less
than
20
percent
of
the
population,
we
should
not
represent
75
percent
of
those
being
pulled
over
by
police
and
detained.
U
We
should
not
represent
over
50%
of
those
being
arrested
by
police.
We
should
not
represent
50
percent
of
those
who
are
being
profiled
by
the
police.
This
sends
a
tragic
message
to
our
entire
community
and
that
messages
are
blacks,
are
more
dangerous
than
whites,
but
that
is
not
so
whatever
this
committee
concludes.
I
want
to
issue
an
important
challenge
here
this
evening.
I
challenge
us
to
do
better.
U
I
challenge
us
to
be
a
better
group
of
people,
a
better
community,
a
better
City
I
challenge
us
during
these
times,
when
our
nation
is
going
more
and
more
divided
for
us
to
come
together
to
work
tougher
and
overcome
these
barriers
and
blockades,
and
to
not
put
the
sole
blame
on
the
Evanston
police
department
or
its
officers
for
all
of
us
are
culpable
that
includes
members
of
this
committee
and
members
of
the
audience
who
are
here
tonight.
We
cannot
do
this
simply
by
talking
and
having
incessant
meetings.
U
We
cannot
be
transformed
by
one
meeting
after
another.
We
propose
that
our
entire
city
make
the
effort
to
engage
an
important
dialogue
on
race
and
ethnic
relations
in
our
town.
The
Department
of
Justice
began
study
circles
on
race
over
20
years
ago,
specifically
designed
for
towns
and
cities
in
our
nation
to
come
to
a
deeper
understanding
about
race
in
our
nation.
I've
talked
with
this
about
talked
about
this
with
our
mayor
and
with
our
city
manager.
The
Department
of
Justice
for
the
Midwest
region
is
located
at
230
South
Dearborn
Street
in
Chicago.
U
Their
phone
number
is
three
one.
Two
three
five,
three
four
three:
nine
one:
they
continue
to
have
and
supply
towns
with
guides
that
give
an
overview
and
a
step-by-step
process,
beginning
Studies
on
study
circles
for
race
relations,
I
propose
that
the
city
of
Evanston,
beginning
with
the
mayor,
the
City
Council,
the
fire
department,
the
police
department,
the
downtown
Business
Association,
this
August
committee
and
every
willing
resident
declare
the
next
year
as
the
year
that
Evanston
did
better.
U
Let's
begin
a
full
engagement
in
these
circles
and
work
to
break
the
barriers
that
divide
us
and
build
a
beloved
community
where
every
single
one
of
our
children
feels
the
great
blessing
of
living
in
Evanston,
because
if
we
don't
do
it,
if
we
don't
do
it,
it
won't
be
done.
I
took
the
liberty
of
making
at
least
five
community
dialogue
guides,
and
this
is
an
example
of
where
we
can
begin
and
I
hope
that
you
take
it
to
heart.
Thank
you.
U
A
B
A
G
Okay,
my
name
is
Albert
Gibbs
I
live
in
the
fifth
Ward
I
promise
to
tell
the
truth,
the
whole
truth
and
nothing
but
the
truth:
el
Amiga.
There
is
a
refrain
that
goes
same
old
story
same
old
song.
It
goes
all
right
till
it
goes
all
wrong.
One
minute,
you're
going
the
next
minute,
you're
gone
same
old
story,
same
old
song,
I
have
a
point
here
from
a
person
in
prison.
I
would
like
to
read
briefly
and
then
I'll
conclude
with
your
blessings
convicted
in
the
womb.
G
My
life
was
cursed
from
day
one
of
my
birth.
What's
worse,
I
fully
understand
the
net
value
of
my
worth,
so
I
searched
seeking
out
the
hidden
pathways
to
reprieve.
When
asked
about
my
place
with
God,
it's
simple
I
believe
dear
Father.
Can
you
help
me
understand
this
here
plight?
Why
so
much
death
and
despair
in
my
life
I?
Try
with
every
breath
that
I
breathe
to
live
right,
but
still
I'm,
slipping
deeper
into
the
darkness
of
the
night.
G
I
need
light
to
explain
all
the
secrets
that
was
written
then
hidden
was
brought
into
this
world.
The
stricken,
then
the
forbidden.
So
now
I
must
fulfill
a
swear.
My
reps
more
recognized
than
my
name
on
my
face:
it's
the
streets
and
they
profess
no
love
for
the
good
ones.
It's
all
about
the
criminal
acts
of
hoodlums
of
us
hoodlums,
so
hoodlums
becomes
a
complacent
state
of
some
black
men.
It's
a
fact!
Then
many
will
reside
in
the
state
pen
problem
worsen.
G
Then
we
are
no
longer
wanted
in
the
real
world
because
we've
been
confined
to
a
concrete
and
steel
world.
Some
think
that
this
curse
was
placed
upon
me
at
birth,
but
I
was
sentenced
in
the
womb
to
die
a
slow
death
on
this
earth.
I
will
conclude
with
this.
It
has
been
brought
to
my
attention.
What
has
been
happening
here
lately
were
the
police
are
concerned,
I've
been
victimized.
All
my
life
born
and
raised
here.
G
I
know
what
I'm
talking
about
I
can't
live
your
experiences
and
you
can't
live
mine,
but
minds
are
real
and
I
know
it's
real
from
what
has
happened
to
these
children.
It
angers
me.
It
hurts
me,
but
then
again
as
a
man,
it
makes
me
stand
up
and
it
makes
me
stand
up
to
be
counted
for
those
that
are
unfortunate.
That
may
not
can
stand
and
face
and
fight
I'll
fight
for
them.
G
Dustin
is
showing
to
me
and
it
is
showing
even
more
so
every
day
this
is
Charlotte's
deal
you're,
hiding
the
same
old
story,
same
old
song,
people
are
being
abused
and
misused,
and
you
come
to
the
City
Council.
You
come
to
those
that
are
supposed
to
be
concerned
and
will
do
something.
Yet
they
listen
to
respectfully.
G
They
say,
I
hear
you
and
thanks
for
your
author,
then
they
do
not
a
darn
thing.
It's
gonna
continue
this
way
because
they
are
comfortable
and
where
they're
at
and
until
that
pendulum
swings
over
their
own
neck.
They're
not
going
to
be
able
to
understand
those
that
are
hurting
and
in
pain.
So
I
say
why
come
to
the
same
ones,
who's
of
tolerating
the
abuse.
Why
come
to
the
same
one?
Who
allowing
the
Boozer
to
still
get
paid
I
say
the
only
way
it's
going
to
be
rectified?
It's
not
with
talk.
G
The
action
must
go
over
the
head
of
this
city
and
this
city
council
and
whoever
sits
in
the
seat
of
authority.
We
need
to
go
to
the
apartment
of
justice.
We
need
to
go
to
a
higher
authority
because
other
than
that
you're
going
to
embrace
all
this
conversation
and
you're
going
to
do
nothing
same
old
song.
V
Good
evening,
everyone,
my
name,
is
Madeline
decree
good
evening.
Everyone
at
home
who's
viewing
us
the
human
services
committee.
I
will
speak
on
two
things
tonight.
The
first
is
the
Avastin
Police
Department
I
want
to
say
a
few
words
about
the
12
year-old
young
person
that
was
arrested
last
month
or
so,
but
the
other
young
men
who
maybe
got
away
would
rein
away
or
whatever,
but
they
could
have
been
arrested.
I
don't
have
time
anymore
to
play
around
and
please
forgive
me
if
I
be
disrespectful
tonight.
V
Them
I
want
action
and
I'm
trying
to
be
calm
and
cool
and
collective
I
want
to
see
action,
because
this
type
of
thing
happened
to
my
children
and
I'm
74
years
old
and
my
children
are
in
their
forties,
thirties,
no
heck,
no
40s
50s
see
how
much
time
and
pass
over
50
years
what
happened
to
them
simulate
things
they
got
records
and
they've
been
on
the
I.
Don't
have
time
to
play
games
with
no
one.
Okay,
I,
don't
want
to
put
my
business
out
here
on
the
street,
but
I
guarantee
you.
V
Many
people
in
Evanston
can
put
their
business
on
the
street
and
this
council,
just
like
I
can.
But
let
me
get
down
to
business
here.
I'm
gonna
say
this:
this
happened
to
my
grandchildren.
It
happened
to
my
children
but
to
my
grandchildren
at
the
red
fence
park.
I've
mentioned
it
before
six
or
seven
boys
were
there
for
went
to
jail.
They
handcuffed
them.
Why?
Because
one
of
those
boys
said
fu
to
a
lady
when
they
were
Kherson
they're
in
basketball.
Okay,
they
told
him
stop
cursing
one
young
man
didn't
out
of
all
this.
V
V
Games
anymore,
okay,
I
told
you
I'm
gonna
play
games,
I
don't
want
to
play
games,
but
I
just
got
to
say
what
I
have
to
say:
I'm,
tired
of
being
nice,
okay
and
if
I'm,
disrespectful,
again
I'm,
sorry
but
I'm,
tired
and
when
I
get
tired.
Even
with
my
own
children,
they
know
when
I
get
tired,
it's
time
for
action,
or
else
your
aunt
children
too.
But
here's
what
I
have
to
say
here.
V
Those
four
boys
went
down
to
the
police
station
real
fast.
They
charged
them.
They
charged
these
four
year
old
boys.
They
didn't
do
anything
they
kept
saying.
What
do
we
did?
We
didn't
do
anything
wrong:
I
called
to
meetings
with
chief
editing
if
I'm
wrong,
grits
ain't
grocery
and
a
gang
at
poetry,
okay,
I'm
talking
country's
talk
now,
okay,
but
let
me
tell
you
something:
they
told
me
the
same
thing:
I
think
they
told
the
young
man
they're
the
parent
they're
in
a
different
way,
maybe
okay,
and
by
the
time
they
reach
17.
V
If
they
haven't
done
anything
else,
then
we'll
get
rid
of
directed
several
years
ago.
This
happening
these
children
are
going
through
trauma.
I.
Think
one
of
the
ladies
said
that
what
they
go
through
their
hurting
our
children
and
shooting
up
each
other
who
in
the
heck,
is
after
the
people
who
bringing
them
God
during
guns
in
our
community?
Who
is
it?
Where?
Is
it
chief
editon?
Where
are
you
mayor
Emanuel?
Where
are
you?
What
are
you
doing?
I
heard
tonight
on
the
news
that
this
man
from
Arkansas
is
selling
his
guns.
He
have
a
permit.
V
He
have
whatever
you
all
want
to
call
it
he's,
selling
it
to
people
to
bring
into
this
country
and
in
the
cartel
they're
bringing
the
guns
and
you
bring
him
to
evidence.
I
mean
the
Indiana
and
Denisha
I'm
here
Chicago
and
didn't
ever
Stan
come
on
now.
If
I
can
find
this
out
on
Facebook
and
whatever
else
you
want
I
know
you
are,
can
now
here's
another
thing.
V
I
want
to
tell
you
I
wanted
to
talk
about
the
sanctuary
city,
I
told
you
all
I'm,
tired
of
being
respectful,
I'm,
going
to
talk
about
the
sanctuary
committee,
US
cities
and
I
want
to
talk
about
the
dreamers
over
800,000.
Correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
graduated,
how
many
of
my
people
have
graduated
they
all
in
jail,
I
want
to
treat
a
change
and
chief
editor.
If
chief
editor
can
step
up
to
the
plate,
then
get
rid
of
him:
okay,
I'm,
sick
and
I'm
tired.
This
had
been
happening
to
my
children
over
several
years.
V
Quiet
man
settle
down
several
years.
This
happened
not
just
yesterday.
It
still
happened.
If
folks
still
happening,
he
was
a
white
woman.
Maybe
you
saw
it
on
Facebook.
They
stopped
the
policeman
stopped
there.
She
had
a
hands
up
white
woman,
the
policeman.
What
to
do
with
your
hands
up.
She
said
I'm
scared,
because
I
see
so
much
happening
on
the
television
the
policeman
said
which
hands
down,
in
other
words,
you're
white
Walker.
You
got
nothing
to
worry
about.
She
said
no
I'm,
not
putting
my
hands
down.
Have
you
seen
it?
V
V
Today,
I
heard
on
television
let
his
football
player
will
stop.
He
was
not
because
of
his
color
I'm,
not
gonna,
take
up
any
more
time
but
I'm
telling
you
oh
one
more
thing.
Dr.
Logan
is
training
our
officers
here.
Let
me
tell
you
something:
we
got
to
change
some
policies
here,
the
union
with
the
police.
We
got
to
change
some
policies
because
guess
what
dr.
Logan
been
training
certain
people
for
over
a
year
now
correct?
Am
I
right?
Okay,
now
get
these
people
to
x
now,
one
time
so
they've
trained.
V
They
should
know
better
if
they
do
it
get
rid
of
them
get
rid
of
them.
We
don't
need
those
kind
of
people
in
a
mistake.
Okay,
we
don't
need
them,
but
they
caused
it
too
much
problem
here
we
need
to
change.
We
need
to
stick
together
here.
Does
this
comment?
Anybody
who
saw
Charlotte
do
those
those
white
supremist
that
KKK
didn't
care
about
Jewish
people,
they
didn't
care
about
Asian
people
they
didn't
care
about.
Who
else
didn't
miss
anybody?
Italian
might
make
them
they
didn't
care.
They
were
only
in
work,
can
on
their
agenda.
W
Good
evening
committee
and
Madam
Secretary
and
my
name
is
Katherine
head
I
reside
at
1526,
Seward,
Strait,
Evanston,
Illinois
and
I'm
in
Cecily
Lord
before
I
start
with
my
story.
I
just
want
to
say
that
I
was
driving
back
from
the
beach
the
other
morning
when
Eloise
was
talking
to
the
three
police
trucks,
not
cars,
three
police
trucks
and
I
was
driving
by
and
I
know.
Eloise
from
church
Reba
plays
Church
I
said
Eloise.
W
What's
going
on,
there's
like
a
car
up
on
Main
Street,
there's
a
car
in
the
driveway,
those
large
ones,
and
then
there's
another
car,
I'm
thinking
something's
going
down
three
large
cars,
hello!
Please!
What's
going
on
and
she
said
they're
asking
this
man
what
he's
doing
and
I'm
making
sure
that
they're
doing
it
respectfully
and
while
Eloise
and
I
are
talking
one
of
the
white
policemen
comes
over
and
kind
of,
interrupts,
Eloisa
night
and
says
I'm,
not
oppressing
anyone
and
I
said.
W
W
W
I
would
like
to
call
compare
and
contrast,
because
when
I
heard
what
happened
to
Ian
Beatty,
it
brought
to
mind
something
that
may
or
may
not
have
happened
to
one
of
my
children-
and
this
is
a
true
story,
because
when
I
heard
what
happened
to
Ian
Beatty,
it
brought
to
mind
this
story.
That
may
or
may
not
have
happened
to
one
of
my
children,
one
of
my
children,
who's
a
boy
and
here's
the
comparison
and
I'll.
Let
all
of
you
do
the
contrast,
a.
W
W
There
are
signs
on
both
entrances
to
the
tennis
courts,
that
there
is
an
ordinance
that
there
is
no
skateboarding,
no
bike
riding,
but
it's
mostly
the
kids
who
skateboard
who,
like
all
that,
smooth
concrete,
because
we
don't
have
a
skate
park
in
Evanston
since
about
I.
Don't
know
1978
we've
been
trying,
so
there
are
clear
signs,
no
skateboarding.
These
tennis
courts
are
for
tennis,
and
this
14-year
old
boy
and
his
friend
decide
that
they
want
a
skateboard
there
and.
W
They
get
into
a
verbal
altercation
with
some
tennis
players,
and
this
happens
one
day
and
the
tennis
players
say
get
off
get
out
and
then
the
teenage
boys
being
teenage
boys
come
back
the
next
day
to
skate
again
and
the
same
two
grown
men
are
playing
tennis
that
next
day
and
they
tell
these
two
boys
get
off
the
tennis
courts,
you're
not
allowed
to
skateboard
on
the
tennis
courts
in
Evanston.
There's
an
ordinance
it's
right
on
the
sign.
W
W
And
one
of
these
boys
decides
to
get
into
a
verbal
argument
with
an
adult
and
the
other
tennis
player
calls
the
Evanston
police,
the
Evanston
police
come,
and
this
one
boy
is
still
being
somewhat
mouthy
and
they
put
him
in
the
back
of
their
squad
car
and
then
I
might
have
received
a
call
ma'am.
We
have
your
son
in
the
back
of
a
squad
car
and
he
was
being
disrespectful
to
adults
and
he
would
not
get
off
the
tennis
court
when
he
was
asked.
W
Can
you
meet
us
at
your
house
and
when
I
went
home
and
saw
the
squad
car
sitting
in
front
of
my
home
and
the
policeman
Hawaii
policeman
got
out
of
his
car?
This
is
exactly
what
he
said
to
me.
I
could
tell
that
he
was
a
good
kid
from
a
good
family.
I
said
really,
because
I
think
he
was
being
very
disrespectful
and.
W
X
My
name
is
Betty
Esther
I'm,
here
speaking
on
behalf
of
the
citizens
network
of
protection,
we
have
a
proposal
that
is
out
in
the
community
for
a
civilian
police
oversight
committee.
This
proposal
is
being
reviewed
by
the
residents
of
Evanston
to
give
us
feedback,
as
if
this
is
something
that
they
would
our
to
help
change
it
and
make
it
much
more
stronger
so
that
we
can
have
a
better
community
relationship
with
our
policemen
in
this
proposal
and
a
complaint
mostly
would
be
in
90
days.
X
The
complaint
is
investigated
by
an
investigator
independent
investigator,
not
a
police
officer
and
the
executive
director
issue
her
decision.
One
thing
that
will
happen
that
is
not
in
the
current
civilian
police
committee
complaint
is
the
executive
direction,
will
issue
a
recommendation
to
the
Chief
of
Police.
What
is
for
termination
disciplining
of
whatever
they
will
give
that
recommendation
to
the
chief?
He
has
30
days
to
response
with
respect
to
that,
and
he
can
disagree
with
that
decision.
X
If
he
disagrees
with
that
decision,
then
he
have
to
get
back
to
her
a
reason
why
he
disagrees
with
that
decision.
That
has
the
decision
can
include,
but
it's
not
limited
to
the
following
reason
for
taking
a
different
action
and
our
analysis
of
the
employees
work
history,
including
prior
discipline,
action
and
prior
complaint
file
against
the
employee.
X
In
our
prior
complaint
history,
the
chief
of
police
professional
opinion
will,
with
regard
to
the
case,
the
existence
of
any
lawsuits
arising
out
of
the
performance
of
that
police
own
duty
once
that
is
given,
and
if
they
cannot
agree,
they
will
sit
down
and
talk
and
discuss
it
if
they
cannot
come
to
an
agreement.
That's
the
executive
director
and
the
police
chief.
It
goes
to
a
nine-member
board
that
they
will
make
a
decision
on
that
complaint.
X
The
parent
must
consist
of
nine
person,
five
designee
of
the
Evanston
board
of
police
oversight,
accountability
and
transparent
community
to
commanders
of
the
police
and
to
members
of
the
police
union.
This
door
is
not
just
all
citizens,
it's
made
of
professional
people
and
people
of
the
police
department
for
a
fair
conclusion
of
the
decision.
The
decision
of
the
nine
board
members
is
final,
but
that
is
not
the
end.
Where
now
the
person
that
files
a
complaint
just
come
here,
the
complaint
file,
they
either
go
to
court
to
spend
thousands
of
dollars.
X
We
urge
you
to
take
this
into
account
and
to
read
it
and
digest
it
and
discuss
it.
Not
just
read
it
and
say:
oh,
this
is
what
it
is.
This
is
a
document
that
has
to
be
discussed
because
it
will
be
what
they
consider
the
constitute
to
be
are
supposed
to
be
a
living
document.
That
was
a
couple
of
things
that
will
say
it
here
tonight.
Kind
of
want
to
put
give
some
background.
Information.
X
Reven
neighbors
said
that
the
the
Pope
that
the
Justice
Department
should
come
in
and
he
gave
their
address
and
everything
when
in
April
are
not
April
ferry
weary.
When
this
committee
said
we
will
have
a
group
of
people
to
come
up
with
how
a
group
should
work
to
talent
the
process
of
changing
this
company,
the
city
complaint
process-
that
was
a
pro
agent
at
that
committee,
his
name
was
Kenneth
Bergeron.
X
He
said
and
stated
it
over
a
couple
of
time
too
many
that
he
wasn't
here
investigating
the
police
department
that
he
was
here
to
offer
his
help
since
that
time.
Since
he
he
went
away,
he
came
back
and
he
had
a
couple
of
meetings
along
with
the
chief
and
the
city
manager
and
they
told
him
they
did
not
want
his
help
and
that
the
mayor
did
not
want
the
justice
department
hat
so
going
to
the
Justice
Department.
Now,
with
the
consensus
that
is
coming
from
Washington,
it's
not
something
that's
going
to
happen.
X
X
So
I
don't
September
the
20th
at
7
p.m.
at
the
Evanston
Public
Library
at
7
o'clock.
We
will
be
going
through
this
document
section
by
section
for
the
public
citizen's
comment
to
presented
and
when
we
they
say
they
are
satisfied
with
it,
the
community.
We
will
bring
it
before
you
for
you
to
look
at
and
to
vote
on
it
as
an
ordinance,
as
is
stated
in
the
ordinance
that
was
taken
in
April
of
2008
when
the
citizen
advisory
police
committee
was
put
in
place.
Thank
you.
Y
My
name
is
Bennett:
Johnson
live
at
708,
Washington
Street,
my
bonafide.
These
are
62
years
ago
when
I
graduated
from
after
I
graduate
from
college
I
studied
police
misconduct
in
Lausanne
and
Watts,
particularly
and
became
a
pseudo
expert
on
police
arrest,
search
and
seizure
of
resulted
in
a
five
million
dollar
suit
against
chief
Parker,
who
is
God
at
that
time.
It's
probably
silly
in
Los,
Angeles
I
work
closely
with
Harold
Washington
when
he
was
in
the
legislature
to
develop
various
laws
regarding
arrest,
search
and
seizure
and
witness
protection
and
so
forth.
Y
I
see
progress
for
two
reasons:
I
don't
have
to
talk
anymore.
There
are
people
here
who
understand
of
not
only
black
folks,
but
people
who
are
Caucasian
so-called
white,
who
understand
that
needs
to
be
a
change.
So
it's
that's
clear
progress,
but
the
facts
are:
you
are
the
person
you
are
represent
the
leadership
in
this
town
and
you
are
the
ones
who
have
to
gonna,
have
to
make
the
change
now.
Y
Y
Pulsate
and
again,
you
have
the
power
to
do
that,
but
the
overall
problem
is
much
more
systemic,
as
many
people
have
indicated
so
I
think
the
first
thing
to
do
is
to
solve
a
need
from,
but
don't
stop
there
continue
on
until
we
have
what
we
call
justice
and
diversity
in
our
hometown,
our
city.
This
is
our
town
and
you
run
it.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much
and
that
ends
our
citizen
comment
for
tonight.
We're
moving
on
we're
in
items
for
discussion.
The
first
item
is
the
general
assistance
update.
Oh
did
I
miss
oh
I
thought
we
weren't
going
to
do
rodent
control.
Are
we
I'm,
sorry
hike?
Would
you
mind
giving
us
an
update
on
rodent
control.
K
Good
day
honorable
members
of
the
Human
Services
Committee,
its
I
Kobo
Health
and
Human
Services
Department,
it
is
a
good
thing
that
we've
seen
an
actual
decrease
in
the
number
of
Ronin
complained
that
we
that
we
get
in
comparison
to
previous
the
two
previous
years
this
year.
So
far,
we've
received
less
than
500
Ronin
complaints.
Last
year
was
a
thousand
one
hundred
and
something
and
in
2015
we
had
about
1200
complaints
so
and
I
will
attribute
that
to
the
Ronin
walks
that
we
conduct
on
a
regular
basis.
K
I
think
we've
been
more
engaged
with
our
residents.
They
know
who
to
call.
They
know
where
to
call.
They
know
how
to
get
a
hold
of
me.
So
far
this
year,
we've
conducted
about
23,
25,
rodent
walks
and
I
think
our
residents
are
actually
getting
it,
the
contributing
factors
we
are
providing
education
in
the
course
of
these
walks.
We
are
providing
strategies
on
how
to
remove
debris,
any
contributing
factors
to
the
rodent,
and
you
know,
we've
actually
seen
some
progress,
but
there's
still
work.
That
needs
to
be
done.
K
We
are
still
having
issues
with
the
way
service
is
delivered
with
our
contractor.
We've
had
a
number
of
meetings
to
address
that
and
it's
something
that
we
are
still
working
on
in
regards
to
response
and
delivery
of
services.
So
so
far
you
know
it's
going
well,
but
you
know
we
still
need
to
work
on
that
aspect
of
the
contractor,
responding
to
complaints
and
end
services
and
responses.
Z
Chair
and
I
have
spoken
to
you
in
the
director
about
this
and
I.
Don't
know
what
you
know.
Other
aldermen
are
seeing
in
their
wards
I'm
still
receiving
those
complaints,
so
I
would
agree.
There's
been
a
tremendous
amount
of
effort
on
staffs
part.
You
all
have
been
very
responsive
in
my
meetings
and
in
getting
the
education
piece
and
I.
Z
Will
they
be
able
to
keep
up
with
our
service
calls
in
in
demand
and
I
can
at
least
speak
for
you
know
the
areas
in
my
ward
that
I
know
where
you
know
the
activity
is
high,
based
on
whether
it's
a
business,
a
restaurant
and
I'm
very
concerned
about
that
I
mean
I
personal
experiences
that
I've
seen
you
know.
I
have
holes
near
my
property.
I
have
exactly
what
you
put
in
the
Mac
and
Paquette
a
neighbor
who
has
a
feeder
and
there's
no
ordinance
against
that.
K
A
AB
Evening,
madam
chair
members
of
the
committee,
my
name
is
Indira
Perkins
and
I'm,
the
Human
Services
Manager
for
the
Evanston
Health
and
Human
Services
Department.
So
my
role
is
to
oversee
the
general
assistance
and
Emergency
Assistance
Programs
and
I
also
wanted
to
introduce
our
Human
Services
specialists,
Rowland
fouché,
who
also
provides
additional
services
beyond
emergency
and
general
assistance
to
the
at-risk
families
in
Evanston.
AB
So
I
want
to
go
back
to
kind
of
to
2016
when
we
conducted
a
market
analysis
and
had
some
conversations
with
some
of
the
participants
on
our
GA
program
and
that
we
recognized
that
there
was
a
need
to
increase
the
housing
stipend
that
we
were
providing
to
them
on
a
monthly
basis
at
that
time
was
actually
$200,
which
was
not
enough
and
so
thankful
to
our
elected
officials.
We
were
able
to
increase
that
to
$600
per
month
and
it
has
stabilized
quite
a
bit
of
our
general
assistance
participants.
AB
At
this
time
we
have
117
participants
on
that
program.
They're
doing
quite
well.
We
continue
to
provide
education
services
through
Oakland
Community
College.
We
have
an
Adult
Basic
Education
Program,
a
GED
program.
We
continue
to
provide
financial
literacy
in
partnership
with
the
YWCA.
We
continue
to
also
offer
a
career
closet
and
offer
them
a
program
called
our
job
club
to
enhance
their
interviewing
skills
at
this
time.
We're
here
to
answer
any
additional
questions
that
there
might
be
in
regards
to
the
program.
C
C
So
when
I
look
at
this
expense
ledger
that
you
provided,
so
we
have
a
hundred
and
seventeen
people
who
are
on
general
assistance,
so
I'm
I'm
hopeful
that
some
people
have
moved
off,
but
I
also
wonder
if
we
need
to
do
a
better
job
of
letting
people
know
the
general
assistance
is
available.
I
don't
know
if
people
think
that,
since
the
township
is
no
longer
here,
general
assistance
isn't
available.
I
know
you're
working
with
the
limited
staff,
but
I
don't
know.
C
If
we're
getting
the
the
maximum
exposure
for
the
program
and
I
know,
a
lot
of
people
are
in
financial
hard
times.
So
when
I
look
at
the
ledger,
it
looks
like
there's
a
lot
of
several
programs
in
which
we
have
funding,
and
this
is
produced
for
the
end
of
August
and
we
still
have
a
lot
of
fun
in
love
with
not
much
time
in
the
year.
C
C
AA
Is
correct,
so
let
me
just
kind
of
reference:
the
the
variants
and
what
we
budgeted
and
what
we're
spending
we
actually
again:
Yvonne
de
Thomas
Smith,
Evanston,
Health
and
Human
Services
Director.
We
really
established
our
budget
based
on
the
number
of
participants
that
we
had
in
the
previous
year,
which
was
about
225,
and
what
we
did
not
anticipate
was
that
opportunity.
Job
opportunities
would
be
incredibly
plentiful
and
we
had
more
participants
transitioning
to
Social,
Security
I'm,
so
with
a
significant
drop
in
the
number
of
participants
that
are
on
the
roll.
AA
Currently,
our
expenditures
have
decreased
significantly,
and
so
again
we
we
based
our
budget
on
the
number
of
participants
that
we
had
the
previous
actual
two
years
and
and
and
really
more
and
more
participants
transition
into
sustainable
employment
through
our
Workforce
Development,
Program
job
club
and,
again
more
of
our
participants
aged
out
of
eligibility
due
to
Social
Security.
Did
that
answer
your
question
and.
C
B
AA
I
really
would
like
to
hear
what
those
concerns
are.
Staff
are
deployed
to
places
that
we
think
participants
made
well.
We
are
in
the
libraries
we're
in
the
laundromats
and
we
are
in
the
community
the
challenge
we're
having.
There
is
still
a
deep
stigma
tied
to
entitlement
benefit.
Programs
I
mean
we're
trying
to
alleviate
that
stigma.
That's
attached
to
that,
and
we
have
participants
in
the
community
that
we
know
would
be
eligible
but
still
are
reluctant
to
apply.
We
don't
we're
not
real
clear
about
the
rationale
for
that
we
don't
know.
AA
We
know
the
applications
are
online
and
still
the
number
of
hits
that
we
get
for
the
online
application
still
remains
rather
low.
So
we're
trying
to
come
up
with
strategies
that
are
conducive
for
family
members
or
participants
who
we
think
are
eligible
to
assure
that
we're
meeting
that
need,
and
just
so
you
have
an
idea
of
eligibility.
AA
We
have
seasonal
participants,
such
as
contractual
workers,
crossing
guards,
seasonal
workers.
You
know
there's
a
period
of
time
where
there's
no
income
but
I
think
the
threshold
of
income
per
month
is.
Is
it
875
875?
And
so
there
are
some
participants
on
our
program
who
do
work,
but
as
long
as
they
are
under
the
threshold
of
875,
they're
still
deemed
eligible,
and
so
we're
trying
to
get
that
message
out,
because
I
think
when
someone
becomes
employed
and
they're
still
making
under
that
875,
they
assume
that
they're
not
they're
no
longer
eligible,
because
they're
employed
okay.
C
So
if
I
look
on
page
70,
where
we
get
two
things
that
I
know,
people
of
my
Ward
have
called
about
physicians
and
doctors
and
emergency
rooms,
which
we
know
people
who
don't
have
insurance
use
as
the
doctor
mental
health.
You
know
these
are
things
in
which
we
have
money
allotted
and
it
looks
like
we
have
spent,
none
which
you
know,
I
guess
if
I
were
conservative
spender,
then
I.
C
That
would
be
great,
but
this
is
a
program
in
which
I
mean
these
are
areas
in
which
people
called
me
as
an
alderman
and
say
I,
don't
have
food
or
you
know
they
have
these
these
pressing
day-to-day
needs
and
while
they
might
not
be
in
general
assistance
or
maybe
know
about
at
this
point,
I
guess
I
don't
want
us
to
have
this
program
set
up.
We
have
funds
for
some
of
these
things
for
people
in
the
community
that
are
sitting
here
and
right
next
year.
C
We
would
say:
oh
well,
we
didn't
use,
you
know
the
thirty
thousand
dollars
for
mortgage
rent
assistance,
and
so
let's
take
that
off
of
the
line
item,
because
I
think
that
there
are
many
people
in
this
town
who
you
know
again,
maybe
don't
qualify
general
assistance.
Maybe
they
do
but
who
I
know
need
help
with
their
rent
and
mortgage
payments.
Sure.
AA
So
if
I
may
speak
to
that,
the
budgeted
lines
for
medical
care
is
really
tied
to
the
program,
so
a
participant
can
only
benefit
from
a
co-payment
or
an
x-ray
or
an
ER
visit
if
they
are
a
participant
on
the
program.
So
those
are
actually
line
items
for
actual
participants.
But
the
good
thing
is
that
we
have
such
a
rich
relationship
with
every
family
health
center
and
with
peer
services
that
we
have
navigators
to
enroll
our
participants
and
enroll
anyone
into
healthcare
and
once
they're
enrolled
into
healthcare.
AA
We
pay
that
copay,
so
those
costs
have
significantly
decreased,
based
on
the
discount
program
that
they're
able
to
participate
in
whether
it's
medication
discount
and
sometimes
the
co-pays,
are
waived.
Every
Family,
Health,
Center
waives
a
copay.
That
is
why
you're
not
seeing
expenditures
in
those
lines,
because
if
you
are
a
participant
and
you're
enrolled
into
healthcare,
then
you
don't
have
that
expense,
or
we
don't
incur
that
expense
as
a
program
and.
C
People
who
make
eight
seventy
five
right
is
the
amount
who
are
in
general
assistance.
We
have
thirty
thousand
dollars
allocated
for
rent
expenses.
I,
don't
know
how
you
do
not
need
rental
assistance,
help
when
you're,
making
eight
seventy
five
in
Evanston,
so
I
guess
I
saw
like
an
hour
a
season
and
get
a
better
feeling
of
this.
C
But
this
is
my
concern
when
I
hear
people
in
a
community
with
concerns
about
general
assistance
and
you
and
I
have
met
and
I've
asked
some
of
them
to
share
that
with
you
and
I
know,
people
have
limitations
why
they
won't
do
that
and
so
on.
Their
behalf,
I
would
like
to
just
get
more
information
again
to
make
sure
people
know
about
the
program.
People
are
accessing
these
funds
that
we
have
allocated,
because
this
is
not
a
program
that
I
want
us
to
look
at
saving
money,
and
this
is
the
program
we
have
allocated.
C
It's
kind
of
our
only
social
service.
You
know
kind
of
program
and
if
we're
not
capturing
people,
for
whatever
reason,
we
have
to
be
diligent
about
doing
that.
If
people
are
at
$900
versus
875,
maybe
we
need
to
look
at
you
know
moving
that
number
around,
but
I
would
just
hate
for
this
money
to
go
unspent
when
I
know,
there's
great
need
and
then
next
year,
when
we
get
to
the
budget
item,
it's
like
well,
we
didn't
spend
it
so
less.
AB
Slumming,
if
I
made
the
$30,000
line-item
is
actually
our
emergency
assistance
fund.
So
we
have
a
separate
line
item
for
the
shelter
assistance,
which
is
for
our
general
assistance
participants
and
then,
and
as
far
as
co-pays,
for
our
general
assistance
participants.
We
have
gotten
a
lot
of
them
enrolled
into
a
medical
care
plan,
but
we
still
do
pay
the
copay
for
them.
So
the
copay
actually
comes
out
of
the
personal
item
for.
AB
C
So
if
it's
over
875
I
mean
I,
have
a
lady
in
my
ward
who's
taking
care
of
two
grandkids
who
is
gonna
be
homeless,
where
his
own,
you
know
she's
homeless.
Now
you
know
and
me
then
again
not
to
say
that
she
would
have
qualified
for
this,
but
there
are
folks
who
I
know
could
tap
into
that
thirty
thousand
dollars
that
we
have
sitting
there.
So.
AC
C
Z
Thank
you
autumn,
Fisk
in
I'll
pick
up
exactly
where
director
Thomas,
Smith
left
off
and
I.
Thank
you
all
dan
Fleming,
for
you
know,
raising
the
issue,
because
I
think
this
is
something
I
remember
last
time
myself
in
all
urban
homes,
we're
really
passionate
about,
and
we
were
very
concerned
with
the
township
services
leaving
you
know,
Maine
and
dodging
moving
into
the
city
and
I'll.
Z
There's
a
lot
of
material
that
I've
given
I'm
sure
you
know
and
they've
done
this
and
maybe
it's
time
to
do
it
again,
just
the
outreach,
whether
it's
to
churches,
pastors
I,
have
some
suggestions
and
I
and
I
understand
what
you're,
saying
and
I
think
what
I
hear
alderman
Fleming
saying
is.
She
wants
to
understand
what
information
is
being
communicated
to
her
residence
and
she
wants
to
hear
from
the
folks
that
are
on
the
front
line.
She
doesn't
want
it
filtered
by
management.
Z
AB
Braithwaite
we
we
recognize
that
we
there
is
a
need
for
us
to
be
more
visible
in
the
community,
so
we
make
sure
that
we're
at
all
community
events-
and
we
really
try
and
meet
the
residence
where
they
are,
staff
has
been
equipped
with
the
technology
to
actually
go
to
a
residence
house
rather
than
having
them
come
into
our
office.
We
will,
like
you,
said,
meet
them
anywhere
library
laundry
mat
wherever
they
are
comfortable,
we
will
go
to
them
and
make
sure
that
we
can
provide
them.
Some
type
of
service,
yeah.
A
D
Good
evening
again,
committee,
madam
chair
and
members
of
the
committee
Lawrence
Hemingway,
director
of
Parks
and
Rec
I,
have
been
asked
by
the
Parks
and
Recreation
Board
to
bring
to
your
attention
about
power,
just
the
policy
of
our
honorary
street
signs.
As
you
know,
each
of
you
are
where
you
get
to
nominate
one
individual
on
an
annual
basis,
but
at
this
point
we
have
several
signs
since
the
inception
of
the
program
that
are
up
beyond
their
time
frame.
D
The
policy
currently
states
that
the
signs
are
eligible
to
be
to
remain
posted
for
10
years,
and
so
we
currently
have
a
total
of
36
signs
throughout
the
community
and
you
have
of
the
36.
You
have
13
signs
that
are
beyond
their
10-year
life
cycle,
and
so
the
the
board
is
just
really
looking
for
some
policy
direction.
D
A
Thank
You
Lawrence
very
much.
My
own
personal
opinion
is
that
ten
years
that
I
would
like
to
stay
with
the
intent
of
the
program
ten
years.
I
just
want
to
remind
everyone
that
we've
discussed
this
at
human
services
previously
and
the
the
program
really
is
designed
to
honor
those
everyday
citizens
that
make
such
a
difference
in
the
lives
of
over
the
community
and
not
to
focus
on
organizations
or
historical
figures
or
other
entities,
but
really
those
individuals,
and
you
can
see
that
as
you
go
down.
A
A
C
AD
Haven't
remembers
the
committee
good
evening,
so
madam
chair
I,
think
if
this
is
standing
policy
I
think
we've
since
we've
not
taken
them
down.
We
wanted
to
at
least
come
before
a
committee
to
discuss
it
so
since
I'm
not
seeing
any
objection,
we'll
just
administratively
move
forward
over
the
next
next,
a
couple
of
months
and
as
staff
time
allows
make
that
transition.
So.
AD
AD
Will
we
will
not
discard
them,
gather
them
up
and
we
will
find
either
family
members
or
some
other
appropriate
way
and
if,
for
some
reason,
we
can't
we'll
rebook
consult
with
the
board
alderman
perfect,
thank
you,
but
no
I
think
that's
a
fitting
souvenir
for
either
the
individual
or
the
family.
Member.
Yes,
certainly
make
that
available.
Madam
chair
of
miss
Richardson,
who
staffs
the
committee,
fell
ill
and
was
not
able
to
do
with
you.
Yes,.
B
AD
Sir,
another
component
of
this
that
has
been
discussed
by
the
committee
over
time
are
those
commemorations
that
do
not
warrant
a
a
street
name,
but
but
when
organizations
are
interested
in
doing
something
else-
and
this
committee
has
talked
about
various
ways
to
do
that
over
the
last
certainly
the
eight
years
I've
been
city
manager
and
we
have
one
such
request
pending
and
we
have
been
working
with
the
North
Shore,
Health
System
and
the
chair
of
their
board
of
directors
who
wishes
to
have
a
sign
placed
at
the
site
of
the
original
Weston
hospital.
AD
And
so
we
have
been
working
with
them
and
it
has
been
our
recommendation.
It
would
be
our
recommendation
to
you
absence
a
policy
to
replicate
a
and
similar
to
the
one
that
was
erected
for
the
emerson
street.
Why?
So?
If
you
recall
there
are,
there
were
two
signs
on
Emerson
Street,
one
adjacent
to
what's
now
the
e
to
housing
development,
and
then
there
is
also
a
similar
sign
on
the
other
side
of
the
street.
A
I
think
what
I
would
recommend
and
what
I
would
suggest
to
the
committee
of
in
in
my
ward,
we've
done
a
couple
of
things
and
I
know
as
alderman,
Holmes
and
I
had
a
long
discussion
about.
If
we,
if
we
open
this
up,
then
it's
a
flood
and
how
we
deal
fairly
with
all
of
the
organizations
who
want
these.
We
did
a
very
nice
sign
for
Bookmans
alley
and
there's
also
a
sign
for
oh,
my
gosh
I'm,
whose
drugstore
which
people
walking
down
the
street
can
see,
and
it's
you
may
not
remember
whose
drugstore.
AD
A
Think
that
would
be
a
great,
a
great
idea,
because
there
are,
there
are
and
there's
another
historical
sign
for
the
first
northwestern
building
that
was
on
the
Davis
Street
fish
market.
It's
on
the
Hindman
side
of
the
Davis
Street
fish
market
building.
So
there
are
these
little
reminders.
That
would
be
a
good
comparison
for
Evanston
hospital.
But
there
are
these
little
reminders
of
what
used
to
be
there
and
I
would
like.
I
would
just
like
to
have
a
program
that
is
consistent.
A
Z
AD
The
the
city's
had
a
public
place
name
committee,
I,
think
the
the
City
Council
has
named
parks
without
the
benefit
of
their
feedback.
The
committee
actually
no
longer
exists
as
I'm
about
a
year
ago,
with
that
in
responsibility
going
to
the
Parks
and
Rec
board.
Okay,
but
I
think
it.
The
council
has
been
inconsistent,
so
I
think
either
it
counts.
The
council
can
make
the
determination
itself,
through
this
committee
or
through
a
special
order
or
can
make
it
can
come
from
now
through
the
Parks
and
Rec
board
and.
AD
Is
not,
and
and
and
this
city
and
quite
us,
I-
think
every
city
I've
ever
worked
with
have
always
been
very
nonspecific,
because
I
think
what
happens
is
specific
instances
occur
and
City
Council's
have
made
the
decision.
They
always
don't
necessarily
want
to
be
tied
to
those
specific
incidences
because
of
circumstances
with
every
individual
occurrence,
where
there's
a
naming
involved.
So
when
I
get
my
census,
that's
been
the
policy
here
in
Evanston
as
well.
So
if
there's
an
interest
in
changing
the
name
of
a
particular
part,
there
is
I'm.
Sorry,
yes
correct.
AD
There
is
so
I
think
that
either
can
go
through
the
Parks
and
Rec
board
or
can
be
a
referral
from
the
City
Council
to
the
Parks
and
Rec
board,
not
a
for
review
or
the
council
can
take
on
the
task
of
a
policy.
But
again
my
experience
in
many
communities.
The
ad
hoc
approach
is
usually
the
one
that
that's
taken
perfect.
Z
AD
Did
the
website
of
which
was
now
what
nine
months
ago,
or
so
we
worked
so
that
every
park
has
a
website
a
web
page
and
each
of
those
web
pages
have
whatever
information
we
have
or
on
the
individual
that
the
park
was
named
on
and
anything
else
that
we
may
have.
So
that
was
something
that
was
kept
ready
to
which
we
incorporated
as
part
of
the
the
new
website.
Thank
you.
So.
A
Well,
I,
I
guess
what
I
would
ask
is
if
we're
going
to
develop
a
historical
sites,
plaque
or
program
that
we
again
do
it
consistently,
but
also
if
you
could
come
back
to
Human
Services
with
just
photographs
of
the
existing
plaques
that
we
have
up
and
I
can,
if
everyone
in
their
wards,
as
knows
of
any,
please
send
them
to
Wally
and
otherwise.
We'll
take
a
look
at
that.
AD
A
A
Alderman,
Holmes
and
I
were
absolutely
on
the
same
page
on
this,
and
we
we
just
saw
an
avalanche
of
of
requests
and,
and
it
was,
it
was
more.
Let's,
let's
discuss
and
work
this
out
and
work
out
the
program
before
we
go
any
further
and
start
doing
a
hodgepodge
of
of
plaques
or
banners
or
flags
or
whatever.
So
again,
it
belongs
in
this
committee
and
with
all
of
the
other
things
that
the
committee
has
to
deal
with,
it
seemed
like
a
fairly
fairly
low
priority
for
attention.
AD
I
think
the
reason
in
part
this
has
not
come
before
you
before
this
evening,
but
I
know
that
Emerson
Hospital
is
there's
an
anniversary
date
at
the
end
of
the
year,
which
they're
looking
to
tie
this
with
this.width.
So
this
came
to
our
attention
in
the
spring
and
so
I
think
now
is
the
time
to
address
it.
So
thank
you
for
the
feedback
and
we'll
come
back
in
the
future.
Okay.
A
E
Good
evening
committee
chair
and
committee
members,
Jay
Paris
deputy
chief
of
police
in
the
interest
of
trying
to
save
time.
I,
don't
know
about
going
through
this
whole
list
of
27
for
items
for
the
update,
but
I
know
there
might
be
some
specific
items
that
the
committee
has
interest
in
not
just
up
to
those
items
that
you
might
want
to
be
updated
on.
A
E
R
C
E
AD
Madam
chair
Alderman
Fleming
for
continuing
members
of
the
council.
Do
you
remember
that
this
is
a
something
that
came
up
beginning
back
in
February,
so
this
has
been
the
continuing
work
of
that
since
that
time,
the
City
Council
has
decided
to
move
forward
with
a
separate
committee
to
review
the
citizen
complaint
process
with
the
police
department.
So
I
think
the
question
really
comes
back
to
this
committee.
AD
If
you'd
like
us
to
move
forward
with
this
RFP
to
see
what
the
marketplace
would
be
to
have
an
investigator,
how
much
the
costs
would
be
so
that,
from
time
to
time,
this
committee
had
that
ability
for
additional
investigation
we'd
be
happy
to
move
forward.
If
you
would
prefer
to
wait
until
the
report
comes
back
from
the
citizens
committee,
which
is
just
about
to
be
appointed,
we
can
do
that
too,
but
I
think
we
had
promised
the
draft
RFP,
and
so
that's
why
I
was
in
the
packet
this
evening.
Z
E
E
We
usually
obtain
the
meget
Phat's
training
machine,
which
is
the
judgmental
shoot,
don't
shoot
that
usually
comes
after
the
first
of
the
year,
so
we
had
already
completed
that
for
this
year
and
then
in
2018
we'll
get
that
machine
again
to
update
that
training
that
specific
training
in
regards
to
our
use
of
force
policy.
That's
been
completed.
We're
currently
moving
through
the
LexA
poll
process,
where
Department
members
are
acknowledging
all
the
revamp
of
all
the
policies
that
have
been
distributed
out.
E
Z
E
Would
I
think
we
can
accommodate
certain
people?
I
mean
I
would
occur.
Obviously
everybody
that's
on
a
council
or
associated
with
a
group
that
reviews
police
complaints
or
how
that
has
some
type
of
involvement
in
that
that
we
wouldn't
make
room
for
them
to
go
through
that
type
of
training.
Right.
Okay,.
Z
I'd
like
to
explore
that
and
I'll
be
they'll
follow
up
with
the
city
manager.
The
chief
I
think
there
are
a
lot
of
these
things
that
I
think
it's
helpful
for
residents
to
understand
kind
of
what
the
average
officer
goes
through
just
to
get
their
perspective,
and
maybe
we
can,
whether,
through
leadership,
appointments
of
committee
or
lottery,
you
try
to
expose
more
people
to
these
when,
when
opportunities
permit
of
the
next
update,
based
on
what
we
heard,
I'm
gonna,
is
the
continued
training
offered
by
dr.
Logan.
What's
going
on
with
that
or.
E
AD
Manager
like
what
I'm
sorry,
okay,
we've
made
the
decision
to
move
forward
with
full
implementation,
the
documents
the
contract
to
do
that
will
be
on
the
September
25th
council
agenda.
Okay,
I
can
do
that
and
implement
that
if,
by
the
end,
if
not
by
the
end
of
the
year
by
the
first
of
next
year,
okay,
there's
budget
implications
to
that
or
my
plan
is
to
present
the
City
Council,
a
budget
that
funds
body
cameras
and
those
staffing
I.
Z
AD
E
AD
Enterprise,
so
the
information
has
been
stored
through
that
and
the
contract
that
will
be
bringing
to
you
on
September
25th
will
be
basically
we're
buying
a
program,
and
so
with
an
annual
payment,
we
will
receive
the
body
cameras,
all
the
appropriate
equipment
and
as
well
as
storage,
and
so
we're
not
actually
purchasing
the
cameras
per
se,
but
we're
purchasing
into
the
program
there's
a
replacement
cycle.
Then
after
the
three
years
just.
AD
So,
and
so,
while
we
originally
had
looked
at
this
as
buying
component
parts,
I
having
to
worry
about,
storage,
worry
about
the
hardware
worry
about
the
software.
The
the
package
that
we
plan
to
present
to
you
really
is
a
package,
and
so
that
covers
all
the
associated
equipment.
The
thing
it
does
not
include
is
the
staff
member,
then
to
do
any
of
the
redactions
needed
for
FOIA
requests.
Sure.
Z
And
then,
with
that,
well,
we
also
receive
up
a
policy.
I
mean
just
again,
based
on
the
comments
tonight,
comments
I've
heard
in
the
community
there's
a
strong
desire
to
see
the
police
interactions,
particularly
with
Ian,
Beatty
and
I,
would
think
with
any
other
juvenile
where
there
is
a
parent
who's
concerned
about
the
interaction.
Do
we
have
a
plan
in
place
to
deal
with
those
requests?
Well,.
AD
And
I
think
that's
going
to
be
a
budget
question
for
the
City
Council,
because
if
there
is
an
expectation
that
every
piece
of
footage
from
every
police
officer
is
available,
we
will
have
to
rethink
the
budget
associated
with
that
because
the
the
cost
of
redaction
and
the
tie
the
the
elapsed
time
of
redaction
G
parent,
knows
what
the
ratios
are.
As
far
as
for
every
hour
of
video.
What's
the
redaction
time
so.
E
For
a
pretty
much
for
every
hour
of
video,
it
takes
approximately
three
and
a
half
three
to
three-and-a-half
hours
to
actually
redact
that
our
video
and
with
body
cameras
and
having
multiple
officers
at
the
scene
of
a
call
once
the
program
is
implemented.
You're
talking,
you
know
numerous
hours
of
potential
footage
for
one
one
call
the
the
formula
used
for
that
I
know:
Chicago
uses
four
cameras
and
an
employment
of
a
FTE
to
handle
that
it's
one
full-time
employee
for
every
hundred
cameras.
AD
Okay,
so
that's
why
it
takes
us.
It's
almost
two
and
I
think
what
we're
trying
to
you
know
I
think
we
would
probably
start
with
one
and
see
what
the
the
time
requests
are
here
in
City
Council
determines,
and
there
is
that
kind
of
interest
to
have.
Multiple
flower
requests
will
probably
have
to
then
go
to
a
second
employee.
I
think
we're
just
gonna
have
to
wait
and
see.
I
would
hate
to
have
to
sitting
there
waiting
for
the
FOIA
requests.
Z
E
Currently,
now
you
can
file
a
complaint
or
a
compliment
through
the
website.
Okay,
this
is
more
information
regarding
police
complaints
filed
not
specifically
filing
the
complaint,
because
that's
already
available
for
a
person
to
do.
Okay
through
the
police
website,
you
can
submit
a
compliment
for
an
officer
or
file
a
complaint
that
would
be
looked
into
further,
where
o-p-s
could
reach
out
or
a
supervisor
could
reach
out
to
an
individual
who
has
an
issue
or
concern
regarding
police
conduct.
Okay,.
Z
Z
AC
Alderman,
rafael
just
a
it's,
almost
a
follow
up
with
alderman
braithwaite's,
so
number
17,
Civic
Center
office
hours,
because
I
know
we
talked
about
some
people
being
more
comfortable
coming
to
the
Civic
Center
rather
than
the
police
station.
So
I
was
looking
at
the
website
and
on
the
complaint
page,
it
I
think
it'd
be
helpful
if
it
actually
acknowledged
that.
So
there
is
an
opportunity
to
have
an
office
hour
scheduled
to
at
the
Civic
Center,
rather
than
thinking
they
have
to
go
to
the
police
station.
Okay,.
E
AC
C
Drunk
Fleming,
all
right
so
number
27
the
expungement
procedures.
I
would
hope
that
you
all
are
going
to
not
only
work
with
the
legal
department,
but
alderman
Wilson
made
that
suggestion
that
we
have
a
procedure.
We
have
an
ordinance
that
goes
along
with
the
state
particular
part
of
an
Al's
for
expungement,
and
so
hopefully
you
guys
are
going
to
work
together
for
that,
and
that
brings
me
to.
Can
you
provide
more
information
about
and
I
know?
I
got
an
email,
but
it
was
confusing.
C
E
A
the
only
way
a
formal
station
adjustment
would
be
filed
as
if
it
wasn't,
if
the
Illinois
State
Police
were
the
information
was
submitted
to
them.
The
record
would
still
be
kept
at
the
oven,
sent
Police
Department,
but
an
actual
state
criminal
history.
That
would
would
show
that
for
the
juvenile
they
would
have
to
be,
they
would
have
to
be
submitted
to
the
Department
of
State
Police.
So.
C
E
I
C
And
so
you
obviously
are
assuming
you
were
here
to
hear
lots
of
frustration
from
our
community
regarding
this
situation,
but
also
just
the
continued
I
will
say
what
people
feel
like
it's
over
policing
in
certain
communities
in
our
city
and
while
I'm
one
who
loves
to
have
policy
that
was
very
clear,
I.
Don't
think
that
I
wouldn't
hope
that
we
do
not
need
to
have
policies
about
the
way
people
are
treated
and
the
way
that
they
feel
like
they
are
valued
or
not
valued
in
our
community.
C
One
thing,
I
just
will
say
to
the
community
members
that
are
still
here.
Our
police
do
respond
when
called
whether
we
think
they
respond
too
heavily
or
not,
and
so
one
thing
for
us
to
consider
is
that
we
have
people
in
the
community
who
call
the
police,
maybe
more
for
african-americans
than
they
do
for
others.
I
don't
have
the
stats
I
can't
say
that
that's
true,
but
I
know
our
police
go
to
where
they
are
directed,
and
you
know
we
have
many
merchants
downtown
who
I
have
seen.
C
I
have
children
myself,
who
are
gladly
allow
my
children
to
shop
there.
But
if
my
children
want
to
sit
there,
if
they
don't,
they
are
not
well
received,
so
I
do
want
to
just
move
our
conversation
a
little
bit
of
our
thought
process
to
some
merchants,
and
maybe
shoppers
and
other
folks
in
our
community
who
are
calling
on
our
young
people
and
that
that
is
not
necessarily
a
police
issue,
but
a
bigger
community
issue.
C
E
C
For
our
stop
and
frisk,
I
would
like
to
know
how
many
of
those
stop
and
frisk
actually
result
in
an
arrest
or,
and
how
many
are
just
you
know
the
people
are
released
after
the
conversation
is
had,
and
maybe
that
also,
if
that
does
not
contain
information
for
the
contact
cards
that
we
collect,
I
would
like
to
see
from
the
contact
cards
if
there
was
an
arrest
or
if
folks
are
just
let
go
just
for
clarity's
sake.
We.
E
We
actually
started
capturing
a
while
ago
prior
to
the
Illinois
stop
law.
We
actually
started
capturing
that
a
couple
years
ago,
so
we
would
be
able
to
determine
if
stop
was
associated
with
a
call
and
actually,
if
there
was
an
arrest
or
some
type
of
enforcement
action
taken
as
a
result
of
that
stop.
Okay,.
C
So
that
will
be
great
to
see
that
and
then
I
will
continue
to
press
on
our
ordinances
and
that
we
are.
We
are
policing
ourselves
and
staying
with
them,
what
our
ordinance
calls
for
and
that
we
will
be
thinking
about
the
way
in
which
people
receive
us
a
lot
of
it,
I
believe
of
soft
skills,
and
so,
if,
if
we
need
to
do
more
soft
skills,
training
I
would
hope
that
we
don't
have
to
write
ordinances
for
these
things.
E
Understand
and
I
would
also
encourage,
based
on
some
of
the
comments
tonight,
that,
if
an
individual,
when
they
bring
an
issuer,
they
feel
that
an
officer
was
disrespectful
or
something
was
inappropriately
done
by
the
police
that
they
bring
it
to
the
police
departments
attention.
So
we
can
investigate
that
complaint
and
either
you
know,
prove
or
disprove
the
allegations
that
were
that
were
made.
A
Z
You
a
lot
of
it
fixing
to
be
mindful
of
the
time
you
know,
so
we
get
those
complaints
to
human
services.
We
don't
have
any
on
the
agenda
and
one
of
the
questions
that
I
have
they
give
numbers
for
the
rules
and
I've
never
received,
like
a
rule
handbook
to
understand
what
those
violations
mean.
What
are
the
consequences
for
those
violations
and
also
statistics
on
that,
so
one
of
the
things
that
I
would
love
to
receive
and
I
don't
know
if
this
has
ever
given
out.
Z
Would
be
helpful
and
then
the
next
comment
they
were
there
are
a
few
individuals
are
here.
I
just
really
want
to
thank
all
those
individuals
who
came
out
and
shared
not
only
their
stories
and
experiences,
but
also
the
thoughts
and
tough
questions
that
were
presented,
and
so
I
know
that
we
have
them
and-
and
mr.
Gibbs
said
it
before
and
followed
by
mr.
kreese
request
for
action.
Z
It's
it's
serious
and
what
I
see
now
and
I
think
mr.
Johnson
articulated
very
well.
The
this
issue
is
no
longer
just
a
black
issue.
It's
now
a
community
issue,
and
we
now
have
allies
and
I
feel
like
the
standard
of
how
we
police
in
the
town
is
under
a
strict
spotlight,
not
just
because
of
what
we
see
nationally
but
honestly
I
believe
because
the
whole
community
has
embraced
it
and
they
now
see
it
as
a
community
problem.
So
in
response
to
that
and
I
won't
go
too
long.
Cuz
I
know
we'll
announce
it
later.
Z
We
do
have
the
police
complaint
committee
that
is
going
to
be
looking
at
all
the
overall
processes
and
I.
Think
I've
had
an
opportunity
to
see
that
a
very
diverse
group
of
people
in
individuals
we
have
hired
an
equity
coordinator.
That's
going
to
be
looking
very
deeply
at
this
as
well,
and
then
the
last
thing
is
we
have
an
alternatives
to
arrest
committee.
That
I
think
is
gonna
have
a
huge
impact
in
just
the
the
outcomes
in
through
the
alternatives.
Z
Arrests,
we'll
be
looking
at
opportunities
where
non
violent,
non
sexual
crimes
are
handled
through
our
administrative
adjudication,
similar
to
the
medical
marijuana
ordinance
that
I
think
that
that's
going
to
have
a
real
good
impact.
In
addition
to
that,
we're
going
to
with
the
assistance
of
Patrick
Keenan
Develin
with
the
Buran
Center,
take
a
look
at
the
auto
expungement
process
and
in
how
do
we
do
that
smart
and
efficiently
and
then?
Z
Z
Gibson
and
others
you've
been
heard
and
we're
going
to
take
action,
and
if
not,
you
take
action,
vote
us
out,
and
maybe
we
need
to
fire
some
people
and
I
accept
that
challenge
and
myself
and
I'm
sure
the
other
members
of
this
committee
and
council,
along
with
our
city
manager,
will
be
held
accountable
to
see
that
action
that
taking
place.
Thank
you
any.
AE
Evening
madam
chair
committee,
Henry
Ford
assistants
to
the
attorney
the
memo
that's
provided
for.
Hh
10
was
just
a
pursuant
to
alderman
Fleming's
requests
based
off
of
the
the
first,
the
first
human
service
committee
meeting
after
the
election,
with
the
new
members
terms
of
providing
some
transparency
to
the
citizens
of
Evanston
as
to
the
Human
Services
committee's
role
in
regards
to
the
discipline
of
police
officers.
So
this
memo,
pursuant
to
alderman
Fleming's
request,
provides
that
information
takes
a
look
at
the
uniform
disciplinary,
uniform
peace
officers,
disciplinary
act.
AE
It
looks
at
the
collective
bargaining
agreements
for
patrols
patrol
officers
and
for
sergeants
it
looks
at
the
city
of
Evanston's
personnel
manual
as
well
so
long.
It's
here
for
your
review,
alderman
Braithwaite
has
mentioned
alternatives
to
rescue
me
I.
Think
a
lot
of
the
things
that
may
have
been
identified
in
the
review
of
citizen
police
complaint
memo.
That's
part
of
HH
10
will
be
addressed
by
that
committee.
If
there
are
any
concerns
both
side
of
community
so
here
to
answer
any
questions.
Great.
A
C
You
very
much
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you.
I
know,
I
was
riding
you
pretty
hard
for
this
document,
so
I
I
appreciate
that
you
did
and
I'm
sorry
I
missed
it
tonight.
I,
don't
know
what
I
didn't
see
it,
but
if
there
is
a
way
I
know,
people
frequently
ask
about
different
committees
of
what
they
do
and
I
haven't
looked
at
the
Human
Services
community
website.
C
But
if
there
you
know
even
this
last
couple
of
paragraphs
here
on
the
back,
if
there's
a
way,
we
can
get
that
up
there,
because
I
do
think
that,
particularly
with
us
looking
at
police
complaints,
people
might
think
that
we
have
a
different
role
than
we
do
in
terms
of
a
judge
and
jury
style,
and
so
maybe
to
get
that
up
there.
You
know
wherever
we
need
to
get
on
the
website
right,
so
that
people
understand
what
this
committee
does
when
they
come
with
their
police
complaints.
I
will.
A
You
okey-dokey
I've
written
over
part
of
my
agenda.
