A
So
it's
two
minutes
after
five
we're
going
to
start
the
Human
Services
Committee
meeting,
it's
Monday
July
10th,
502
p.m.
which
is
an
unusual
time
for
us,
but
we've
got
a
busy
evening.
Was
there
anybody
who
wanted
to
speak
on
citizen
comment
who
hasn't
signed
in?
If
there
is
please
come
up
and
do
this
now
I.
B
A
A
C
A
I
can't
are
there
any
changes
or
Corrections?
Okay,
all
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye
aye
opposed
already.
So
that's
done.
The
first
item
for
consideration
is
approval
of
the
renewal
of
the
bed-and-breakfast
license
for
stone
porch
by
the
lake
located
at
300,
Church
Street
Evanston.
So
that's
a
license
renewal
and
that's
for
action
tonight.
Is
there
a
motion
and.
B
A
I
have
a
second,
second,
okay,
any
discussion.
Okay,
all
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye,
any
opposed
all
righty.
The
second
item
is
the
one's
going
to
take
most
of
our
hour
today.
It's
the
equity
and
empowerment
report
on
the
community's
input
on
equity
issues
within
Evanston,
and
what
we're
being
asked
to
do
is
accept
the
report
cat,
where
you
are
okay,
terrific
I
think,
first
of
all,
we're
going
to
take
citizen
comments,
as
everybody
has
signed
up
for
this
and
you'll
have
three
minutes
please.
A
D
Welcome
hot
good
evening,
I
am
Sara,
Vander
Wickham
and
just
for
identification
and
not
representation.
I
am
working.
I've
been
working
for
several
years
with
the
equity
and
action
group
with
the
Unitarian
Church.
So
my
concerns
about
this
plan
is
that
there's
if
it
is
in
fact
a
plan,
there's
no
criteria
for
measuring
success.
It's
not
saying
here's
what
we're
going
to
end
up
with
in
terms
of
equity
here
and
here's,
how
we're
going
to
get
there.
It's
basically
a
plan
to
have
meetings
and
and
that
plan
to
have
more
plans.
D
Equity
is
a
very
broad
term
and
everybody
can
kind
of
swing
it
around
and
mean
very
different
things.
In
addition,
it
really
seems
to
be
focusing
pretty
much
solely
on
some
undefined
kind
of
group
of
community
leaders
and
and
employees
and
staff
and
officials
of
the
city
of
Evanston.
It
seems
to
me-
and
this
comes
from
my
work
with
a
white
church-
that
there
really
needs
to
be
some.
E
Good
evening
I'm
prudence,
Milan
and
again
for
identification,
I
work
with
the
Society
of
st.
Vincent
DePaul
at
st.
Mary
Conference
in
a
Catholic
parish
in
Evanston,
so
I'm
I
read
the
plan.
B
plan
and
I
agree
with
Sarah,
it's
very
general,
and
there
are
lots
of
people
who
are
going
to
talk
to
other
people
who
are
going
to
talk
to
dr.
fm,
and
so
it
seems
like
a
long
time
before
we
get
to
action.
E
I
know
there's
some
training
planned,
but
that
is
still
very
much
preparation
for
actually
getting
to
equity
standards
by
which
we
should
operate.
So
my
concern
is
a
specific
one
that
I
found
missing
even
to
be
mentioned
as
part
of
the
overall
point
of
equity
and
that
is
low
income,
affordable
housing.
So
at
the
Society
of
st.
Vincent
at
st.
Mary,
we
get
calls
from
people
who
are
in
need
and
we
try
to
help
them
with
their
need,
and
we
give
a
substantial
amount
of
money
to
people
sort
of
in
the
center
of
Evanston.
E
E
So
it
seems
to
me
there's
a
little
inversion
here
that
the
work
of
the
city
to
support
its
citizens
who
have
difficulty
meeting
their
needs
is
crucial
and
prophets
and
religious
organizations
that
try
to
help
out
come
later
than
the
city,
so
I
just
think
in
the
memory
I
in
the
memorandum.
One
of
the
livability
benefits
is
support
for
poverty
prevention
and
alleviation
housing.
Affordable
to
our
low-income
residents
is
not
mentioned
in
the
proposed
plan.
Health
and
work
are
named,
but
not
housing.
E
Yet
we
know
from
research
that
adequate
and
stable
housing
is
the
foundation
for
a
production,
productive
and
secure
life.
The
lack
of
low-income
housing
and
Evanston
is
a
clear
example
of
the
need
to
advance
racial
equity
within
policies,
practices
and
programs.
In
our
city.
We
need
to
specify
housing
as
a
focus
for
equity
and
put
it
in
the
toolkit.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much.
F
Hi,
my
name
is
Michelle
Hayes,
I,
guess
I'm.
Here,
as
a
general
citizen,
I
live
in
southeast
Evanston
in
Brummel
parks,
I
recently
began
a
group
called
back
on
their
feet
on
Facebook,
because
I
became
frustrated
with
the
lack
of
connection
between
people
who
are
actually
in
need
and
the
services
that
are
out
there
and
the
wealth
that
we
have
in
Evanston,
just
in
terms
of
individuals
who
are
willing
to
give
their
time
and
their
belongings
and
their
money.
F
I
can
pretty
much
tell
you
right
now.
Anecdotally.
There
is
a
racial
element
to
that.
So
if
we
looked
at
it
quantity
in
a
quantitative
way,
we
would
be
able
to
see
that
Evanston
is
not
equitable.
You
know
african-american
people
in
particular,
don't
access
recreation
that
all
you
have
to
do
is
go
to
a
day
camp
and
you
can
look
at
most
many
of
them,
especially
the
ones
that
are
down
by
the
lake.
They
are
predominantly
white.
F
A
B
Thank
you,
I'm
Eileen
from
YWCA
and
I
also
work
with
several
other
racial
equity
groups
in
the
city
as
part
of
the
open
communities,
racial
justice
team
and,
first
of
all,
I'm
grateful
that
we
are
to
this
point
that
we
that
we're
moving
there's
been
talk
for
for
a
long
time
and
so
I'm
happy
to
see
some
things
down
on
paper.
I
I
understand
that
there's
some
confusion
about
what
the
role
of
doctor
FM
is.
B
Is
it
to
work
internally
and
take
care
of
business
within
the
city's
employees,
or
is
it
to
take
care
of
things
out
in
the
community
and
so
I
think
some
clarity
about
that
would
be
helpful
to
everybody
as
we
as
we
move
forward
and
I
to
me,
what
this
is
is
an
outline
of
getting
to
the
plan
and
I
like
that
notion.
One
of
the
things
that
I
think
is
missing
is
some
internal
assessment,
so
the
finding
out
doing
some
surveying
of
the
employees
within
the
city
to
gather
some
information.
B
I
echo
Michele's
use
data,
that's
already
there
and
then
get
some
more
data,
because
then
that
will
make
it
possible
to
create
some
benchmarks,
and
that
really
needs
to
be
a
big
part
of
the
plan.
I
think
the
general
things
you're
talking
about
people,
understanding
terms
and
understanding
how
racism
impacts.
People
in
our
cities
is
important.
I
also
think
that
as
a
community,
but
certainly
starting
with
employees,
we
need
to
learn
how
how
being
an
equitable
place
is
good
for
all
of
us.
B
I
think
we
lose
sight
of
fact
that,
as
a
white
person,
I
probably
don't
have
to
worry
as
much
about
equity,
as
other
people
do,
and
yet
my
life
is
impacted
when
other
people's
lives
are
impacted
and
I
think
we
have
to
start
understanding
that
and
our
country
doesn't
understand
it,
but
our,
but
our
city
certainly
could
I'll
be
interested
to
hear.
Is
these
as
the
plans
get
fleshed
out?
Who
are
the
who
are
the
people
that
will
be
going
to
these
various
trainings
that
are
that
are
available?
B
And
how
can
we
encourage
the
city
to
use
some
of
the
resources
that
are
available
here
in
organizations?
Not
just
YWCA
but
I
will
absolutely
say.
We
are
completely
behind
this
work
and
want
to
support
the
city
in
whatever
ways
we
can,
with
whatever
expertise
we
can
bring
to
it,
but
again,
there's
lots
of
organizations
that
have
been
doing
a
lot
of
good
things
in
the
city
and
and
I
hope
that
they'll
be
engaged
in
this.
B
There
is
talk
in
the
in
recruiting
a
group
of
volunteers
to
become
the
equity
community
engagement
specialists
to
engage
underrepresented
groups.
I
would
love
to
know
what
they're
going
to
get
engaged
in,
because
I
think
that
would
be
helpful
in
recruiting
them
and
again
that
some
of
the
people
who
are
already
out
in
the
community
could
be
really
helpful
in
getting
people
to
be
to
jump
on
the
bandwagon.
B
G
Good
evening
my
name
is
Marie
Wilson
and
I
am
with
the
Evanston
Northshore
n-double-a-cp
I
was
here
this
evening.
I
have
not
had
an
opportunity
to
look
at
the
plan,
however,
as
an
organization
of
course,
we're
interested
in
the
equity
plan.
We
want
to
ensure
there.
There
is
accountability
as
we
listen
and
put
stay
in
this
activity,
so
we're
just
here
to
listen
tonight.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
coming.
H
The
YWCA
has
been
instrumental
in
helping
our
white
church
get
its
head
around
our
own
white
privilege
and
address
how
we
can
move
toward
action
in
racial
equity
and
I
think
that
there
are
many
other
people
that
we've
drawn
on
from
the
city,
and
it
seems
to
me
that
people
who
know
Evanston,
who
live
in
Evanston
and
are
working
toward
racial
justice
in
Evanston
might
be
highly
considered
for
training
purposes.
I'm
especially
concerned
about
the
references
to
the
USD
n
equity
Leaders
program
for
a
couple
of
reasons.
H
Their
website
talks
about
equity
and
sustainability,
and
it
appears,
although
I'm,
not
an
expert,
that
this
may
be.
A
sustainability
organization
who
has
equity
using
a
racial
equity
lens
as
a
sidebar
to
its
main
area
of
emphasis.
I
was
especially
disturbed
to
see
that
at
least
judging
by
their
photo
on
the
website.
It
looks
like
a
white
dominant
organization
and
I'm
not
sure
that
this
is
necessarily
the
best
approach
for
a
major
contributor
to
the
equity
plan
for
our
town.
I'd
also
like
to
mention
a
couple
of
things
about
community
engagement.
H
Dr.
F
eum's
report
says
that
she
intends
to
attend
Ward
meetings,
my
ward,
the
8th
Ward,
does
not
have
Ward
meetings
so
I'd
like
to
understand
how
I'm
not
sure
all
wards
do
but
I
know
for
sure
mine
doesn't
so
I,
don't
know
how
we
will
spread
the
word
if
we're
only
taking
a
ward
by
Ward
approach
and,
secondly,
I'm
not
sure
that
town
halls
are
the
best
based
on
the
relatively
low
attendance
I
went
to
for
of
the
town
halls
that
were
held
earlier
this
year
that
dr.
H
FIM
presented
at
and
they
were
all
pretty
poorly
attended.
Only
one
I
think
had
more
than
20
people
at
it.
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
as
we
move
forward
and
if
we
really
want
community
engagement,
I
think
we're
going
to
have
to
be
more
creative
in
terms
of
getting
that
and
I'm
also
very
concerned
about
farming
out.
The
listening
to
the
community
and
how
feedback
will
get
from
somebody
who
listens
to
somebody
who
reports
to
somebody
and
finally
to
dr.
H
C
A
Right,
oh
excuse
me,
Betty
Sue
did
and
Patricia
did
you
want
to
sign
up
as
well.
C
Okay,
madam
madam
chair,
members
of
the
Human
Services
Committee,
my
name's
Steve
Haggerty
and
I'm,
the
mayor
of
Evanston
and
one
of
your
colleagues
on
the
council
I.
Just
it's
wonderful
to
see
so
many
people
out
here.
We
have
a
big
thing
on
the
agenda
with
equity.
You
know
a
couple
months
ago
we
also
had
big
conversations
around
our
civilian
complaint
process
with
the
police
department.
I
just
wanted
to
make
an
announcement
at
this
meeting,
because
I
think
it's
really
important
that
the
public
know
that
we
are
accepting
applications
for
that
nine-person
committee.
C
Those
went
out
recently.
You
can
find
it
on
the
city's
website
and
it
will
be
if
you
just
google
citizen
police
complaint
assessment
committee,
you'll
see
it.
The
application
process
is
open
until
July,
28th
and
city
staff
has
gone
ahead
and
contacted
all
of
the
organizations
that
were
identified
by
the
working
group.
But
this
is
an
application
process,
that's
open
to
anyone.
We
got
feedback
from
the
working
group
and
others
in
terms
of
the
application.
C
So
right
now,
I
believe
we
have
13
people
that
have
applied
to
be
on
the
committee
and
we're
certainly
looking
for
any
community
members
that
may
be
interested
in
being
on
that
committee
and
we
hope
to
then
come
back
to
the
council
at
the
end
of
August
or
early
September,
with
recommendations
for
the
members
of
that
committee
to
begin
their
nine
months
of
work.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
J
J
We
need
to
have
another
way,
I
think
you
have
about
75%
of
people
who
are
missing
at
any
rate,
we're
looking
on
the
website
of
any
place,
maybe
social
media
when
they're
contacting
friends
but
I
think
the
best
way
has
been
in
the
past,
with
papers
to
people's
homes,
otherwise
you're
not
getting
people,
people
who
can't
come
out
and
we
won't
come
out
and
who
don't
come
out,
but
they
still
have
ideas
and
things
that
will
affect
them.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
K
K
Understanding
that
maybe
not
a
professor
or
someone
would
be
able
to
analyze
it
one
of
the
things
that
someone
asked
me
to
point
out:
you're
number
5,
where
you
talk
about
empowering
people,
and
you
talk
about
that.
You
should
what
you're
going
to
have
on
the
website
and
one
of
the
things
is
general
information
about
how
to
file
discrimination,
complaint
and
link
to
cook
county
and
the
state
of
Illinois
complaint
process.
K
You
have
got
the
federal
government,
because
what,
if
a
person
they
want
to
file
a
complaint
by
the
state,
they
don't
go
back
to
the
state
to
ask
the
state
to
look
at
themself
or
even
if
they
want
to
file
a
complaint
with
the
city
and
said
no,
we
don't
want
to
start
there.
We
will
start
at
the
higher
level
so
that
need
to
be
added.
K
So
and
we
talked
about
equity
and
the
mayor
just
talked
about
the
complaint
process
for
the
police
committee
and
how
that
people
saw
that
as
being
unfair.
If
that
is
not
a
theme
that
should
be
addressed
on
the
equity,
the
police
department
should
have
been
the
second
things
that
was
on
this
list
and
to
address
the
equity
that
is
being
people
are
receiving
from
service
that
comes
through
the
city.
We
it's
like.
K
The
people
that
should
be
here
are
not
here
and
the
ones
that
we've
been
here
if
it
had,
the
complaint
process
on
your
agenda
would
not
be
here
tonight
because
you
at
five
o'clock,
some
of
them
haven't
got
off
to
work,
are
either
on
the
way
home.
Let's
start
thinking
about
equity
and
how
people
are
work,
we
know
that,
while
can't
say
you
volunteer,
because
you
receive
a
spices
and
she
receive
a
salary,
then
you
have
to
think
about
the
people
that
is
paying
for
this
service.
There
is
no
equity
consideration
for
that
factor.
K
I
I
Another
photo
app
for
people
to
say
that
they
care
about
inhale
University
in
Evanston.
It
really
in
order
for
this
to
work,
needs
to
be
a
permanent
part
of
the
planning
from
a
part
of
our
consciousness
and
our
willingness
to
engage
in
the
conversations
and
something
that
I
noticed
in
some
of
the
town
hall
meetings
that
were
originally
set
up
is
that
the
people
who
came
to
them
are
already
the
people
who
you
know
it's
preaching
to
the
choir.
I
You
have
an
enormous
wealth
of
resources
here
in
Evanston
to
draw
from
and
I
think
that
we're
really
missing
a
vote.
If
we
think
that
we
can
just
keep
doing
things
in
the
way
that
we
sort
of
do
as
government
organizations
tend
to
do
in
expecting
people
to
come
here,
expecting
people
to
make
time
or
get
off
of
work
to
come.
I
You
know
at
a
time
like
someone
who'd
just
mentioned,
miss
Esther
had
said
some
people
aren't
even
off
of
work
yet
and
I
think
that
if
we
look
at
some
of
the
other
programs,
that
Evanston
has
done
a
really
bang-up
job
with
I
was
thinking
about
the
Evanston
150
model.
I,
don't
know
how
many
people
were
involved
in
that,
but
there
are
so
many
people
who
are
tired
of
the
talk
they
want
to
get
to
action,
but
then
there's
certainly
a
lot
of
people
who
need
to
do
more
explorative,
talk
and
and
processing
and
learning.
I
If
there
were
some
way
to
allow,
you
know
to
designate
space
in
different
parts
of
the
city
where
there
are
continual
meetings
where
people
can
show
up
and
have
the
conversations
not
just
this
is
a
town
hall
come
if
you
want
to
talk
about
equity
like
no.
This
is
a
neighborhood
get-together.
Let's
come
together,
let's
build
community
and
let's
talk
about
what's
important,
what
we're
doing
well
and
what
we're
missing
out
on
and
what
we
need
to
do
to
fill
those
gaps
and
I.
Think
if
there
were
some
sort
of
structured
model
like
I'm.
I
Just
talking
about
Evanston
150,
because
you
know
that
started,
is
this
huge
thing
with
all
these
people
with?
You
know
different
priorities
or
different
agendas,
but
we
were
able
to
kind
of
focus
them
and
then
those
groups
are
able
to
concentrate
on
what
they
thought
was
important
and
I
can
see
that
happening.
That
happened
in
some
of
the
different
meetings
that
happened
at
peat,
which
are
Dane.
I
Where
you
know
people
broke
into
groups
to
talk
about
gun
violence
or
to
talk
about
community
buildings
that
are
housing,
education
and
those
are
really
the
main
points
that
always
come
up
in
these
conversations.
But
why
not?
Let
people
who
care
about
them
and
know
about
them
and
want
to
really
dig
into
them,
have
a
part
in
this
and
and
use
the
resources
that
we
have,
because
there
are
a
lot
of
people
that
are
already
working
they've,
been
working
very
hard
for
a
very
long
time
longer
than
I've
been
in
Evanston.
That's
for
certain!
I
So
I
want
this
to
succeed,
but
I'm,
just
questioning
how
this
is
being
rolled
out
and
the
fact
that
some
of
the
people
who
have
been
doing
this
and
really
are
committed
haven't
been
as
involved,
maybe
just
a
focus
group
with
some
of
the
people
who
are
already
on
the
ground
talking
to
people
working
you've
heard
from
a
lot
of
them
tonight.
It's
all
I
think
great.
L
If
you
just
take
a
minute
and
look
at
that
image
here
is
the
difference
of
basic
difference
between
equity
and
equality.
Most
often
we
think
about
equality,
but
if
you're
moving
to
an
equitable
model,
you
can
see
that
there's
got
to
be
some
changes.
Some
shifts
to
get
that
ramp
on
the
right
side.
You
just
can't
pull
from
the
left
side.
You
have
to
do
something
differently
next
slide.
L
Please
equity
also
invites
all
people
to
be
active
participants
in
decision-making
processes
that
shape
how
the
city
of
Evanston
invites
diversity
when
I
get
further
into
the
report
and
I
think
the
last
one
who
spokes
at
it
very
good
is
exactly
what
we
got
at
the
town
hall
meetings,
exactly
who
we
see
at
everything
else
and
that's
critical
information
to
know
but
I'll
get
to
that
in
a
second
and
then
the
piece
on
empowerment.
So
the
goal
of
equity
is
to
help.
Is
it's
the
price
empowerment?
L
Is
the
process
of
becoming
stronger,
more
confident,
especially
in
controlling
one's
life
and
claiming
one's
rights,
its
authority
or
power,
given
to
someone
to
do
something?
I'm
sorry
came
up
with,
but
can
you
go
to
the
next
slide,
and
so
the
whole
point
of
equity
is
to
find
the
voices
that
aren't
at
the
table
that
aren't
already
engaged
and
get
them
actively
engaged.
How
we
do
that
is
that
the
speakers
are
absolutely
right,
we're
not
going
to
do
it.
If
we
do
what
we've
always
done,
we've
got
to
get
out.
L
We've
got
to
identify
these
communities.
We've
got
to
go
into
the
communities.
We've
got
to
sit
with
them.
I
will
give
you
a
good
example.
Is
we
had
almost
no
light,
enix
participation
in
the
town
hall
meetings
and
so
working
with
Miguel
relays
at
the
city
in
an
Danny
Sanchez?
Here
we
were
able
to
tap
into
their
resources,
access
those
communities,
and
now
we
will
be
having
to
spanish-language
townhall
meetings.
That's
what
it
means
to
go
out
and
engage
people
to
find
them
where
they're
at
and
to
meet
them,
where
they're
at
next
slide.
L
So,
empowerment
with
empowerment,
historically,
people
have
been
marginalized,
have
been
given
what
others
think
they
should
have.
I
will
tell
you
at
the
town
hall
meetings,
I
consistently
heard
what
we
need
to
do
for
people
of
color,
yet
we
had
very
little
representation
from
people
of
color,
and
so
we
need
to
hear
what
various
populations
need,
rather
than
what
we
think
they
need
to
have.
L
We
have
got
to
stop
speaking
on
behalf
of
these
other
communities,
but
rather
we
have
to
we
engage
them,
but
in
order
to
achieve
equity,
we
have
to
ensure
that
those
who
have
been
marginalized
are
empowered
to
speak
for
themselves
slide
6.
So
where
did
that
get
us?
It
started
out
with
town
hall
meetings.
We
had
five
of
those.
The
intent
on
the
surface
was
for
me
to
introduce
myself
as
equity,
empowerment
coordinator
and
hear
what
questions
folk
might
have.
More
importantly,
the
intent
was
to
see
who's
going
to
come
out.
L
We
had
some
300
participants
between
the
five
meetings
and
what
we
found
we
predominantly
white
women
we
had
eaten.
Our
fifth
Ward
meeting
was
the
lead,
the
least
attended,
with
only
12
members,
and
only
half
of
those
optically
were
african-american
or
people
of
color,
and
so
what
it
became
very
telltale.
Those
those
town
hall
meetings
showed
us
is
that
this
is
not
the
way
that
we
can
do.
This
we've
got
to
attack
this
from
a
different
approach.
L
We've
got
to
reach
out,
and
so
that's
where
some
of
the
outreach
comes
in
any
other
plans,
we
did
attend
to
Ward
meetings
by
way
of
listing
and
presenting,
and
then
we
engage
with
our
community
partners
in
a
number
of
different
ways,
so
we
probably
have
engaged
it
was
at
least
40
organizations.
I
will
agree
that
there
is
a
lot
of
great
work,
that's
going
on
here
in
Evanston
and
if
we
are
not
in
collaboration
and
partnership
with
them,
this
effort
will
not
succeed.
We
are
very
clear
about
that.
L
We're
very
intentional
about
that
and
have
had
already
good
starting
conversation
about
that.
We
also
talked
to
both
residents
and
staff
at
Jacob
Lincoln
print
hours
to
get
a
sense
of
where
how
our
seniors
were
feeling
about
being
included
and
how
we
could
reach
them.
When
we
have
targeted
groups-
and
we
had
much
better
success
when
we're
intentional
about
who
we're
looking
for
and
find
out
where
we
can
best
meet
them,
they,
then
those
residents
come
and
they
give
good
solid
feedback.
Also.
What
happened?
L
A
lot
of
the
town
meetings
was
that
the
residents
that
were
there
often
they
were
the
minority
until
their
voice
did
not
get
heard,
and
so
there
were
several
agenda
items
that
that
kept
coming
up.
I
will
get
to
those
in
terms
of
industry
engagement
at
number,
seven
Kim
I
did
attend
the
other
and
in
belonging
conference,
put
on
by
the
government
Alliance
on
race
in
California
brought
together
some
1000
participants,
practitioners
in
local
government
equity
and
inclusion
and
diversity
efforts,
and
so
we
had
two
days
there
also
intended
advancing
equity.
L
The
role
of
government
in
Iowa
City
we've
been
in
conversation
with
Seattle
Washington
and
their
racial
justice
issue.
They
are
sort
of
the
leaders
in
this
field.
They
have
had
10
years
under
their
belt.
They
actually
from
them
came
the
the
government
Alliance
on
equity,
and
so
they
have
a
lot
of
history,
a
lot
of
good
information
and
they're
very
helpful.
L
Likewise,
we've
been
in
conversation
with
San
Antonio
Texas
because
they
launched
their
equity
in
an
empowerment
position
two
years
ago,
so
they're
new
and
they're
figuring,
some
things
out
have
just
hired
their
second
people,
so
those
have
been
some
good
conversations
through
all
of
this
listening.
There
are
several
things
that
came
out
of
in
terms
of
observations.
First,
let
me
set
the
climate
so
about
the
time
that
I
came
on.
We
had
several
current
issues.
L
We
had
a
huge
issue
with
the
library
with
a
very
public
discussion
about
what
was
happening
within
equity
in
the
library
we
had
police
relations
and
the
board
that
was
trying
to
be
formed,
and
then
we
had
national
and
local
elections.
Oh
well,
as
well
as
the
immigration
ban
Evanston.
Now
the
question
of
whether
Evanston
now
was
indeed
racist
and
some
beach
access.
That
I
was
quite
surprised.
I
must
say
that
the
first
three
weeks
I
was
here.
L
I
had
several
meetings
over
beach
access
because
of
race,
so
those
are
the
things
that
were
sort
of
driving
a
lot
of
the
conversation.
That
was
where
people
were
focusing
their
questions.
What
are
you
going
to
do
about
the
police?
What
are
you
going
to
do
about
the
beach?
What
you
going
to
do
about
the
library
consistently
across
the
board
race
was
the
issue,
and
people
were
insistent
and
serious
about
that.
L
Furthermore,
the
next
slide
there
was,
as
we
mentioned
earlier,
clear
lack
of
participation
by
people
of
color
and
how
how
and
why
there
I
think
there
are
ton
of
reasons
for
that,
and
one
of
them
is
just
were
not
engaging
and
we
don't
have
that
the
city
does
not
have
a
sense
of
trust
with
the
community
focal
really
concerned
program
concern
from
day
one.
The
city
is
not
serious
about
tackling
this
issue
of
equity
they're
not
really
going
to
do
anything.
L
This
is
going
to
be
more
talk,
and
so
we've
had
to
be
intentional
another
big
issue
and
I,
it's
really
important,
and
that
is
this
lack
of
understanding
about
the
role
of
equity
and
empowerment.
So
there
is
a
significant
part
of
the
community
that
feels
strongly
that
I
should
be
sort
of
the
discrimination
diversity
officer,
meaning
I
get
the
daily
complaints
about.
My
neighbor
wasn't
nice
to
me
because
I'm
black,
you
know,
there's
not
enough
wheelchair
access,
and
so
helping
people
try
to
understand
is
critical.
L
What
this
role
is
about
part
of
it
was
people
don't
feel
like
they
have
a
place
to
voice.
The
discrimination
concerns
whether
they're,
whether
legitimate
or
not,
people
don't
have
feel
they
have
a
place
to
to
voice
those
concerns,
and
so
I
ended
up
initially,
just
taking
I
was
inundated
with
emails
and
calls
and
responding
to
people
who
wanted
me
to
fix
it
for
them.
This
role
has
to
be
seen
as
a
more
global
role.
L
This
is
the
role
that
leads
the
efforts
in
rooting
out
the
systems
that
cause
those
problems
and
pointing
people
in
the
right
direction
as
to
where
they
can
really
have
their
voices
concerned.
So
is
it
human
resources
visit
Cook
County?
Is
it
the
police
department
and
that's
part
of
our
effort?
So,
ultimately,
our
goal
is
to
come
with
a
three
year:
strategic
plan.
That
is
the
best
practice.
I
understand
that
people
want
us
to
move
quickly,
but
that
is
the
problem.
L
If
we
move
quickly
we're
going
to
leave
behind
those
who
have
historically
been
left
behind,
we
have
to
be
able
to
engage
these
people
who
have
not
been
engaged.
We
have
to
get
them
to
the
table
and
we
have
to
let
them
be
involved
in
the
decision
make
processes
so
to
effectively
to
develop
effective
plan.
We
need
several
months.
We,
the
first
thing
we
need
is
time
and-
and
we
need
the
capacity
to
make
change
the
city's,
the
residents
and
even
staff.
We
need
to
do
some
work
to
understand
what
equity
is
to
understand.
L
What
white
privilege
is
to
understand
how
this
impacts
us
in
the
workplace
and
to
even
stablish
some
expectation
of
what
we
expect
from
staff
when
we're
engaging
with
residents.
I
really
I,
can't
change.
Behavior
I
can't
change
attitudes.
We
can
work
at
that
through
our
educational
efforts,
but
our
goal
is
to
change
behaviors.
Our
goal
is
to
say
that
this
is
not
acceptable
here,
and
so,
if
you
want
to
be
this
kind
of
person,
you
need
to
find
another
another
place
to
do
that.
L
We
definitely
need
to
build
a
common
understanding
and
language
around
issues
of
equity.
Is
it
equity,
the
diversity?
Is
it
race?
What
is
it
and
and
that's
what
communally
we
are
struggling
with?
We
do
have
some
excellent
community
partners
who
have
done
a
lot
of
work.
I'll
mention
district
6065
and
they
are
forging
ahead
the
YW
they
are
forging
ahead.
L
There
are
just
a
lot
of
good
partners
and,
in
fact,
I
believe
it's
next
week
that
we
are
convening
evidencing
cradle-to-career
committee
is
convening
all
of
us
equity
workers
so
that
we
can
begin
to
shape
that
framework.
So
we're
very
much
in
the
conversation
for
the
strategic
plan
to
be
effective,
we
have
to
have
active
participation
and
not
representation.
L
While
there
are
good
community
organizations
that
are
doing
a
lot
of
good
work,
part
of
the
problem
for
some
of
our
organizations
is,
we
speak
on
behalf
of
our
clients
and
we've
got
to
get
to
a
place
where
we're
hearing
the
voice
of
the
clients
and
I
think
it's
important
for
those
organizations
to
be
out
there
and
to
be
leading
the
effort.
But
more
importantly,
is
how
do
I
get
to
the
person.
That's
in
the
wheelchair.
L
How
do
I
I
mean
I
can
tell
you
that
I
was
called
in
on
an
equity
issue,
a
woman
who
was
in
a
wheelchair.
She
couldn't
access
the
beach
and
she
called
me
and
Lauren's
him
anyway,
and
I
went
down
to
the
beach
with
her
was
very
enlightening
to
watch.
Her
have
to
drive
up,
get
her
wheelchair
out
of
the
car
because
she
doesn't
have
assistance
get
into
the
wheelchair
wheel
down
to
the
ramp,
have
to
make
the
drop
and
then
try
to
get
to
the
ocean.
L
It's
important
to
hear
from
her
because
it
was
life-changing
right
and
and
Lawrence
could
see
it
and-
and
she
wrote
us
just
recently
and
said
you
know.
Thank
you.
This
is
the
best
that's
ever
been.
We
can
be
better,
but
it's
the
best
we
can
ever
we've
been,
and
so
it
is
about
hearing
those
voices
wherever
they
might
be
and
because
we
have
historically
left
them
out,
it
is
critical
that
we
slow
down
and
that
we
go
out
and
find
them.
L
L
Equity
and
empowerment
has
to
be
a
primary
goal
and
it
has
to
take
center
stage
and
so
therefore,
the
recommendation
to
establish
the
nine-member
equity,
empowerment,
commission,
essentially,
what
we're
doing
is
is
revamping
the
human
relations
committee
would
do
the
same
type
of
work.
We
dressed
it
a
little
bit
differently,
but
I
can
tell
you
there
is
you
know
how
there's
not
a
great
deal
of
love
in
the
community
for
the
human
relations
committee
because
of
whatever
has
happened
over
the
years?
L
It
made
much
more
sense
to
to
align
it
with
the
equity
empowerment
office,
and
so
that
was
the
recommendation
final.
Secondly,
I:
don't
care
I'll,
take
the
hit
I'm
telling
you
is
number
one:
we've
got
to
make
equity
one
of
the
goals
of
the
city,
one
of
the
primary
goals
of
the
city,
but
we
have
to
put
race
at
the
top
of
that
agenda
and
if
we
don't,
we
are
doing
a
great
disservice
to
the
people
of
this
community
and
to
the
historical
racism
and
embeddedness
and
an
oppression
that
has
happened.
L
We
have
to
identify
race.
This
community
called
for
it
loud
and
clear
and
I
think
that
there
is
the
conversation
both
nationally
and
locally.
Just
a
man
that
race
be
considered
as
a
priority
issue
now
understand
race,
race,
intersects
it
with
every
cross-section.
So
it's
not
that
we're
leaving
somebody
out
we're
recognizing
that
this
is
an
issue
that
needs
some
attention
that
they
need
critical
attention
in
terms
of
the
equity
training.
Someone
absolutely
I
think,
as
Eileen
said
there
is
this
tension
between.
L
Do
you
deal
with
the
staff
or
do
you
deal
with
the
residents
and,
and
that
is
a
tension
that
we're
going
to
have
to
live
in.
But
let
me
say
to
you
that
if
we
don't
deal
with,
we
must
deal
with
the
staff,
because
it's
not
going
to
help
for
us
to
go
out
and
from
our
residents
and
assure
them
that
they're
going
to
get
equitable
services
and
then
they
enter
in
and
they're
dealing
with
people
who
aren't
offering
equitable
services.
So
we
have
to
deal
with
it's
both
and
we
have
to
train
the
staff.
L
We
have
to
get
them
to
understand
what
equity
is,
what
the
expectations
are
come
into,
some
common
understanding
and
deal
with
our
own
implicit
biases.
We've
got
to
do
that,
but
at
the
same,
so
we
do
that
through
our
internal
equity
infrastructure,
we
do
some
training
with
the
staff.
We
bring
this
to
the
staff
in
to
have
partners
who
will
lead
the
effort
in
each
of
the
apartment
so
that
we're
spreading
that
be
clear,
I
would
love
to
take
all
the
calls
and
have
everybody
report
back
to
me.
L
I'm
one
person-
and
if
you
left
me
to
do
that,
we
would
all
be
disappointed
in
our
equity,
empowerment
efforts.
So
we
have
to
build
teams
both
internally
and
externally,
the
equity.
The
community
engagement
definitely
calls
for
us
to
engage
to
to
be
out
I
had
a
number
of
persons
that
have
contacted
me
since
I've
been
here.
That
said,
we
want
to
help.
We
want
to
help.
L
We
want
to
help,
and
those
are
the
people
for
me
that
we
take
and
we
train
them,
but
we
give
them
formal
training
and
how
to
engage
in
kin
with
communities.
Those
are
the
people
that
go,
find
and
identify
those
communities
or
take
references
and
begin
to
explore
relationship
with
those
communities
for
the
purpose
not
of
them
coming
to
report
back,
but
ultimately
of
getting
those
people
help
build
enough
trust
that
those
people
will
come
to
us
as
well,
but
they
want
to
participate
in
our
boards
and
our
Commission.
L
These
are
people
who
can
help
us
determine
I,
agree,
I'm,
not
a
not
a
big
web
person
so
to
drive
people
to
the
website.
That's
not
acceptable.
We've
got
to
find
other
ways
to
reach
people,
and
so
that's
part
of
this
of
this
plan.
It
is
important
to
convene
a
committee
of
african-american
and
Latina
and,
by
the
way,
latina
X
I'm
told,
is
the
new
not
latina
or
Latino
any
more
latina
X.
So
it's
not
an
error.
Typo,
but
but
I
have
been
corrected
so,
but
we've
got
to.
L
These
are
two
communities
that
that
have
expressed
deep
concern
about
being
left
out
and
being
left
behind
and
and
I
think
that
we
need
the
leadership
from
those
two
communities
to
help
us
shape
how
we're
going
to
engage
with
those
communities.
How
we
can
hear
them
specifically
and
then
bring
that
meaning
bring
that
information
back
to
a
summit
which
yes,
would
be
open
to
all,
but
would
be
led
by
those
leaders
to
help
begin
to
bridge
the
gap
and
and
and
bring
some
healing
and
and
make
meaning
out
of
what
these
communities
truly
need.
L
Then,
in
the
empowerment
piece
it's
important,
yeah
I
said
people
don't
feel
like
they
have
a
voice.
So
what
I
want
to
do
is
get
our
website
our
website,
initially
up
and
going,
which
gives
people
a
voice
so
when
they
call
they're
not
getting
me
or
Wiley
or
Eric
or
whoever.
Rather,
they
understand
this
is
what
a
descriptors.
What
legal
discrimination
is.
This
is,
if
you
believe,
you've
been
discriminated
against
here
are
the
steps
that
you
would
take
so
that
they
have
access
to
that
information.
L
And
if
we
equity
as
a
final
thought,
equity,
we
have
to
embed
equities
and
our
policies
and
procedures
we've
got
to
route
it
out.
First
right,
we
have
to
see
where
the
issues
are.
We
have
to
route
that
out.
One
of
the
things
that
a
cross
industry
standard
says
is
equity
have
to
embedded
in
your
budget.
L
If
you
are
not
willing
to
admit
finances
to
this
effort
again,
you
have
failure,
and
so
therefore,
while
we're
working
on
developing
that
equity
tool,
that
would
help
us
embed
that
in
that
budget,
that
I've
asked
for
some
considerations
by
those
who
are
working
on
the
budget.
Those
considerations
being
that
no
community
or
group
will
bear
a
disproportionate
burden
of
environmental
hazards
and
risk
environmental
assets
will
be
fairly
fairly
distributed
across
the
community.
L
I,
listen
to
you
all
of
them
talk
about
how
you
would
not
invest
any
more
money
in
the
Harley
Clarke
mansion
when
we
have
Fleetwood
Jourdain
that
for
three
years
has
been
cut
off.
We
have
got
to
address
those
kind
of
inequities
we
will
people
of
color
bear
a
disproportionate
amount
of
environmental
and
climate
impacts
and
health
disparities
continue
to
plague
people
of
color
and
those
of
lower
socioeconomic,
economic
under
low
or
second
non-basic,
and
so
those
are
my
recommendations.
That
is
how
I
came
to
this
place
and
I'm
happy
to
entertain
any
questions.
M
Sorry,
thank
you
for
the
presentation.
I
I
have
a
couple
of
them
a
lot
of
questions,
but
for
the
sake
of
time,
I'll
start
with
a
couple.
Can
you
then
a
there
was
a
survey.
M
L
You
for
that,
so
we
did
launch
the
survey
so
two
years
ago,
human
relations
commission
did
a
survey
climate,
essentially
the
same
survey
survey
when
that
when
they
got
the
results
back,
they
did
not
do
anything
with
that
other
than
to
look
at
it.
I
wanted
to
assess
where
we
have
come
from
that
point
forward,
knowing
full
well
that
that
will
inform
our
future
work.
I
mean.
Obviously
we
close
that
survey
on
July
4th
I
can
tell
you
preliminary
and
looking
at
it.
L
It's
it's
kind
of
what
I
reported
here
is
that
the
vast
majority
are
white
female
respondents,
very,
very
the
majority,
the
vast
majority
enough
for
over
$100,000
salary,
so
we're
still
reaching.
It
appears
to
me
on
the
surface
and
it
has
not
been
analyzed,
but
we're
still
reaching
that
same
population.
M
L
We're
seeing
yes
we're
seeing
race,
certainly
as
an
issue
that
comes
up
time
and
time
again.
We,
the
survey,
asked
specifically
questions
about
how
comfortable
you
lose
engaging
with
others,
and
there
was
some
sense
that
I'm
comfortable
that
I
don't
do
it
and
so
yeah.
It
seems
like
there's
a
real
need
to
build
community
and
build
those
conversations
all.
M
There's
a
lot
of
questions
all
right,
so
the
National
Urban
sustainability
directors,
Network
yep,
which
I
have
never
heard
of
which
is
fine,
I,
did
look
into
it
as
well,
and
I
made
a
phone
call
and
I
guess:
I
have
huge
concerns.
If
that's
the
organization
we're
using
when
sustainability
is
their
effort,
I
do
see
that
they
are
to
Ana
training
next
week
here
in
Chicago,
but
they're
bringing
in
the
government
Alliance
for
racial
equity,
who
is
the
leader
in
government
racial
equity.
M
So
why
did
you
land
on
using
this
program
when
they
focus
on
sustainability,
but
they
are
rolling
out
this
kind
of,
as
Karen
said
this
racial
equity
arm
and
I
think
I
look
went
further
than
Karen
and
looking
at
their
membership
and
also
their
board,
which
is
all
right.
So
you
talked
about
bringing
those
different
voices
to
the
table
yet
you're,
proposing
that
we
do
our
training
with
an
organization
that
does
not
represent
that
voice
or
is
the
primary
focus
where
their
primary
focus
is
not
raised
at
neckli.
Thank.
L
You
so
Kumar
Jensen,
who
is
our
environmental
justice
person,
is
doing
some
work.
He
was
doing
some
work
with
them
and
you're
right.
Their
primary
agenda
is
sustainability.
However,
as
we
went
through
it,
we
recognize
hey,
there's
some
tool
that
we
can
glean
from
here
for
equity
for
overall
equity.
So
this
is
a
program
that
he
was
initially
doing.
I've
now
joined
in
it,
but
this
program
is
to
talk
about
sustainability
in
local
government
and
and
and
that's
what
it's
for,
so
it's
not
to
inform
our
training.
L
M
L
We
will
so
understand
that
this
is
Kumar.
Jensen
was
working
on
sustainability
issues,
and
this
is
one
of
the
agencies
that
the
environmental
justice
field
uses.
They
invited
them
to
participate
in
a
project
on
sustainability.
It
has
some
components
there
that
he
asked
me
if
I
would
be
a
part
of
a
team
to
help
him
with
his
work,
but
it
ties
in
very
nicely
to
what
we're
doing,
but,
but
so
know,
our
goal
is
not.
This
will
not
become
our
training
piece.
L
L
That's
what
we
have
to
develop
so
I've
contacted
like,
for
example,
Vesta
white,
to
examine
and
think
about
how
internally,
internally,
what
the
staff
need,
and
how
do
we
go
about
that?
We
also
have
someone
that
HR
has
recommended
to
us
who
has
done
a
lot
of
equity
work
across
cities,
and
she
has
submitted
a
proposal
to
us
in
terms
of
what
our
training
should
look
like.
But
we've
got
to
assess.
We've
got
to
assess
the
situation
so
part
of
it
is.
N
Alden
blue
Simmons.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
this
report.
I.
There
were
definitely
some
unanswered
questions
in
in
the
packet
and
you've
answered.
All
of
my
questions
in
your
report.
I'm
pleased
to
hear
that
you're,
focusing
on
hearing
the
voices
of
the
people
that
need
the
services
and
I
think
that
we
as
a
community
have
failed
in
that
way,
not
just
at
the
city
but
even
more
broadly
and
community
organization.
N
So
I
would
like
you
to
also
be
sure
that
you
challenge
and
hold
accountable
council
and
the
mayor
in
recommending
and
appointing
the
right
folks,
stakeholders
to
our
committees.
I
think
that
is
one
big
piece
that's
been
missing
and
that
the
broader
community
do
the
same
with
their
board
and
governing
boards,
not
just
advisory
boards.
In
addition
to
that,
I
was
concerned
about
the
missing
piece
that
didn't
include
folks
with
disabilities
and
so
on.
You've
touched
on
that
I'm
very
excited
that
you've
done
that
and
then
also
I
absolutely
agree
with
you.
N
That
race
is
our
top
priority,
we're
in
a
very
diverse
but
very,
very
segregated
community,
and
until
we
start
to
adjust
that
we're
going
to
be
falling
behind,
I
would
like
to
see
you
or
and
I'm
sure,
you've
done
it
already.
But
I
just
want
to
be
on
record
as
saying
that
the
faith
community,
the
black
church,
is
a
great
way
to
a
great
venue
for
town
hall
meetings
and
other
meetings
where
you're
looking
to
get
more
of
the
black
community
in
I.
L
C
O
Think
your
thoughtful
approach
in
how
you
presented
it,
not
with
the
solutions
but
I
think
this
was
a
healthy
discussion
that
outlines
the
blueprint
that
we
are
going
to
have
to
take
on.
And
you
know,
I
want
to
just
call
out
the
things
in
ultimen.
Simmons
mentioned
it.
You
know,
I
do
feel
strongly
that
race
should
be
a
priority.
O
So
thank
you
for
stating
that
the
environmental
Justin
piece
and
I
just
say
that
tolerance,
lending
I,
think
that
ties
in
to
the
conversation
that
myself
in
Allegan
root
Sims
are
having
with
our
residents,
was
around
the
waste
transfer
station.
Also
Alvin
Ravel
has
played
an
instrumental
role,
so
that
has
been
growing
and
there's
a
portion
of
the
waste
transferred
settlement
that
is
going
to
be
helping
to
address
those
issues
and
the
families
that
live
in
close
proximity,
so
I'm
glad
to
that.
That
is
a
part
of
the
larger
equity
plan.
O
So
thank
you
for
that,
as
well
as
the
folks
with
disability.
The
other
thing
that
I
thought
was
really
important
that
you
mentioned
and
I
was
part
of
the
group
that
voted
to
collapse.
Those
two
committees
and
to
be
honest,
I,
didn't
go
to
either
one
of
those
many
committees
to
understand
the
impact,
and
so
I
hear
you
loud
and
clear
and
obviously,
from
our
conversation
I
think
two
weeks
ago,
we're
going
to
be
focusing
on
affordable
housing,
so
I'm
glad
to
see
that
that
also
fits
into
your
plan.
O
I
think
and
I'll
use
the
word
that
all
of
them
Simmons
share,
was
challenged
where
we
can
challenge
ourselves
is,
is
the
budget
and-
and
we
understand
with
you-
know,
concerns
about
what's
happening
on
the
state
and
federal
level,
if
we're
going
to
move
forward
on
this,
we're
going
to
have
to
find
a
way
to
make
it
a
priority.
The
budget,
so
I
am
looking
forward
to
that
conversation
and
into
working
with
you,
because
we
do
have
a
culture
here
of
supporting
our
staff
and
I
think
it's
important
that
you're
supported
in
your
efforts.
L
You
and
my
name
is
Edie,
so
so
I
want
to
be
clear
for
the
residents
and
for
City
Council,
while
this
document
will
drive
a
lot
of
what
we
do.
Please
understand.
I
am
deeply
engaged
across
the
board
in
in
affordable
housing,
with
one
group
I
and
trans
and
affordable
transportation
with
Easter
Seals
we're
working
with
Metropolitan
Planning
Group.
So
so
this
is
not.
L
You
know
the
totality
of
the
work
that
I'm
doing
it
just
gives
us
a
sense
of
how
we're
going
to
get
to
where
we're
going
and
I
do
agree
with
you
that
you
know
we've
got
to
you
know.
If
we're
going
to
decide
we're
going
to
be
serious
about
this,
we
have
to
make
a
very
public
effort
and
to
our
community
partners
here
in
the
room.
Please
understand
we
are.
L
P
Result
well,
thank
you
for
the
presentation
that
was
really
very
helpful
and
I
really
appreciated
the
comments
that
we
heard
from
of
the
public
this
evening.
It's
really
very
inspiring
to
know
how
many
organizations
and
individuals
are
already
hard
at
work
at
addressing
this
really
important
topic
and
I
appreciated
the
comments
from
my
colleagues
up
here
on
the
Dyess.
The
only
extra
thing
I'd
like
to
dis,
mention
and
I.
P
Imagine
that
we're
sort
of
understood
to
be
part
of
this,
but
when
we
talk
about
equity
training,
a
certainly
hope
City
Council
is
going
to
be
part
of
part
of
the
target
group
there
as
well,
because
we
certainly
want
to
be
very
involved
in
these
conversations
to
understand
these
very
important
issues
that
you've
been
raising.
Thank
you
and.
L
I
appreciate
your
willingness,
you
know,
I
did
say
to
wali
at
one
point:
how
soon
can
I
get
to
them,
because
it
is
critical.
You
know
a
couple
of
months
ago.
I
said
I
really
needed
you
all
help,
because
the
community
was
crying
out
for
me
to
be
the
diversity
officer
and
deal
with
their
discrimination
issues
and
I
said
you
know.
What's
going
to
happen,
is
they're
going
to
feel
when
I
don't
deal
with
those
issues,
they're
going
to
go
back
to
their
older
men
and
they're
going
to
say
we're
not
getting
service?
L
We
don't
have
anyone
who's
answering
these
questions,
so
you
are
a
critical
part
of
this
and
in
terms
of
helping
the
larger
community
understand
someone
said
well,
my
ward
doesn't
have
a
award
meeting.
So
let's
talk
about
what
that
means,
then,
for
that
ward,
but
there
will
be
plenty
of
listening
places,
but
but
the
the
the
support
of
the
council,
the
leadership
of
the
council,
is
absolutely
vital.
L
M
So
another
concern
the
timeline,
so
it
seems
like
this.
These
things,
which
are
a
lot
of
things,
are
happening
very
quickly
and
probably
need
to
be
fleshed
out.
A
little
more
and
I
am
very
much
committed
to
this,
but
very
much
committed
to
this
working
they're
not
just
committed
to
us
talking
about
this.
So
the
things
like
the
training
and
the
empowerment
commission-
and
you
know
a
variety
of
things.
I
would
like
to
see
flushed
out
much
more
before
we
hit
the
ball
rolling.
You
talked
about
having
some
time
and
I.
M
Just
I
would
really
encourage
us
to
take
more
time
to
make
sure
that
you
know
granted
that
things
are
not
written
in
stone,
but
that
what
we
commit
to
do
is
actually
doable
in
the
time
we
say,
because
we
will
have
people
in
this
room
and
other
people,
including
myself,
who
are
watching
to
make
sure
that
this
happens
and
I
think
we
need
some
measurements
in
there.
So
the
community
knows
where
we
are
and
what's
happening,
I
mean
I
know
for
the
survey
for
myself.
M
O
P
O
M
Q
Our
intention
and
I'm
sorry,
if
we,
if
this
wasn't
clear,
was
to
come
back
to
you
in
October
that
our
intent
this
evening
was
never
final
approval
of
anything
as
I
think
dr.
Hume
said
this
is
a
process
right
and
I
think
that
what
we
wanted
to
at
least
get
was
a
general
buy-in
from
you
that
that
were
on
the
right
direction
and
I
think
from
what
I've
heard
this
evening.
I
have
that
we
have
that,
but
we'd
like
to
come
back
to
you
in
October,
dr.
Q
Freeman's
plan
is
to
is
to
take
this
back
out
to
the
community,
continue
to
get
feedback
and
feedback
from
all
of
you
individually
and
so,
rather
than
come
back
in
August
or
September,
come
back
in
the
1st
of
October.
In
order
to
do
that,
I
think
at
that
point.
We'd
also
have
the
responses
from
the
survey
well
tabulated
and
in
your
hand
we
certainly
could
come
back
in
September.
Q
September
is
Labor,
Day
I,
don't
know
if
the
committee
has
decided
what
your
plan
is
yet
for
September
meeting,
often
the
Human
Services
Committee
doesn't
mean
in
September.
So
that's
what
we're
looking
at
October,
but
if
you'd
like
it
sooner
but
I,
think
give
us
at
least
60
days
to
come
back
and
there
would
be
no
further
action
and
I
apologize
that
that
wasn't
clear
at
the
outset.
Ok.
Q
I
mean
I'm
not
sure
if
miss
Richardson
from
the
committee
is
committed
to
a
September
date
or
not,
but
I
think
the
idea
of
going
backing
out
to
the
community.
It's
going
to
be
difficult
to
get
people
together
from
this
point
well
throughout
summer
by
also
to
have
the
month
of
September
to
do
that
would
be
helpful.
But
again
it's
look
at
the
committee's
desire.
Hi
just
don't
know.
They're
coming
back
in
30
days
is
going
to
have
that
same
impact,
so
we
would
ask
to
come
back
in
September
or
October
I.
M
That
was
my
thought.
Progress
did
I
respecting
time
of
more
meetings
tonight
that
we
would
continue.
This
conversation
before
start
to
Ephraim
rolls
out
her
plan
to
make
sure
it's
flushed
out
a
little
more
but
I'm
happy
to
do
that
August
or
I'm
happy
to
do
that.
I
did
not
know.
There
was
a
council
meeting
in
September,
so
I
don't
have
the
schedule
we
haven't
cancelled.
Q
So,
madam
chair
members
of
the
committee,
perhaps
I
think
my
preference
would
be
that
we
not
move
forward
with
us
until
October,
so
if
it
makes
sense
to
come
back
next
month
and
talk
some
more,
that's
perfectly
fine.
But
we
also
want
to
make
sure
we
go
back
out
the
community
and
that's
difficult
to
do
over
the
next,
probably
45
60
days.
So.
C
A
A
M
Q
E
M
M
Q
I
think
I
just
want
to
echo
what
we've
heard
for
many
points
this
evening
is
that
additional
discussions
required
and
I
guess
I
just
wanted
to
come
up
and
say:
my
sense
is:
is
you
need
to
at
least
get
to
October
with
the
committee
feels
this
appropriate
is
entirely
within
your
purview?
So
if
you'd
like
to
come
back
in
August
great,
but
we
would
not
want
to
try
to
get
final
approval
from
the
City
Council
until
October,
okay,.
A
M
Would
like
dr.
reaffirm
to
take
the
comment
she
was
given
by
the
council
and
the
audience
or
whoever
whoever
she's
spoken
to
and
I?
Don't
know
if
that
involves
our
updating
the
plan
or
providing
us
some
kind
of
update,
so
that
we
can
see
if
we
have
any
more
questions
to
ask
in
August
and
then
we
can
still
move
forward
with
October
presentation
to
the
council.
Very.
A
O
From
a
seasoned
perspective,
I
think
that
this
issue
is
going
to
be
an
ongoing
discussion.
Again
we're
not
going
to
solve
this
in
whether
it's
30
60
or
however,
many
day
she
comes
back.
Let's
be
realistic,
I'm
talking
to
the
audience
as
well,
and
so
I
would
think
that,
just
like
normal
things,
because
we
still
have
our
police
issues
that
we're
dealing
with
in
some
other
conversations
that
you
pointed
out
so
well
that
are
still
going
on
that.
This
is
just
an
ongoing
discussion
with
touch
points.
M
Well
I,
as
an
unseasoned
alderman
would
like
to
say,
I
would
like
to
see
this
flushed
out
more
before
she
was
forward.
So
what
we
have
in
front
of
us
is
saying
that
council
action
starts
August
27th
and
to
create
an
equity,
Commission
and
I
would
like
some
more
conversation
about
that.
That's
August
differently.
O
A
Land,
if
I
can
have
chair
just
step
in
here
for
a
minute,
I
think
the
hold
is
appropriate
and
just
in
terms
of
process
that
the
hold
is
appropriate.
We're
going
to
wait
for
a
second
and
then
we're
holding
this
until
the
next
meeting
and
the
next
meeting
and
on
August
7th
I
hope
I
have
the
date
correct
we
will
discuss
further.
