A
Moving
forward
and
ideating
around
this
particular
what
this
activity
could
look
like
how
this
grant
could
be
spent
and
kind
of
being
partly
responsible
for
ensuring
that
kind
of
those
benchmarks
are
met
attending
those
quarterly
calls
participating
in
our
quarterly
surveys,
working
with
the
program
expert
that
I
mentioned,
so
those
are
really
the
key
parts,
and
so
in
terms
of
why
Tammy
invited
me
I,
think
part
of
it
is
to
to
see
who
those
one
to
two.
A
You
know,
colleagues
could
be
to
work
in
partnership
with
her,
so
she
would
be
the
city
contact,
but
then
you
all
as
mwebe
members
with
additional
kind
of
boots
on
the
ground
and
additional
involvement
in
what
this
kind
of
work
looks
like
in
Evanston,
you
know,
would
love
to
get
a
sense
of
who
you
might
be
and
then
have
happy
to
have
a
follow-up
call
in
terms
of
sharing
a
little
bit
more
nitty-gritty
details
next
steps.
A
This
is
not
meant
to
be
a
super
heavy
lift,
but
it's
sort
of
as
I've
described
it
to
Tammy
and
council
member
Burns
and
initiate
live
within
an
initiative
so
starting
something
sort
of
new,
but
with
where
there's
been
discussion
or
some
infrastructure
and
obviously
the
mweb
is
well
placed
because
of
your
relationship
with
Northwestern
some
of
the
projects
going
on.
So
that
seems
like
a
natural
fit
but
really
well.
Everyone's
welcome
to
kind
of
idea
differently,
depending
on
who's
who's
interested
in
in
being
involved.
A
B
B
You
know
their
goal,
one
of
their
goals
or
their
goal
is
to
work
on
trying
to
find
ways
to
increase
nwebe
contractors
and
workers
on
big
construction
projects,
especially
in
Evanston,
and
so
Sophia
really
emphasized
that
that,
for
this
for
for
this
cohort
that
it
they're,
they
were
really
looking
for
initiatives
that
are
already
underway
and
so
I
thought
northwestern's.
B
You
know,
800
million
dollar
project
would
be
a
good
project
to
work
on
as
part
of
this
initiative,
and
we
also,
you
know,
would
bring
in
the
procurement
team
in
Northwestern
and
they
have.
B
You
know
they've
created
a
committee
to
help
work
towards
their
goal
of
including
you
know,
of
having
35
of
of
that
project
go
towards
nweb
workers
and
so
The
Next
Step
would
really
be
to
set
up
a
meeting
between
Tammy,
the
the
group
number
three
working
group,
Michael
and
Ernest
Northwestern
and
potentially
some
other
partners
to
see
how
we
can
benefit
from
from
this
from
being
participating
in
this
cohort,
while
also
advancing
the
the
nweb
goals
that
Northwestern
has
around
this
project,
and
the
added
benefit
is
that
it
makes
us
eligible
for
a
fifteen
thousand
dollar
grant.
B
That
I
thought
would
be
perfect
for
the
Community
member
right.
Northwestern
has
its
Advocate
around
this
issue
that
they
hired
a
consultant,
and
so
we
could
hire
just
a
Community
member
that
is
able
and
willing
to
Advocate
on
behalf
of
kind
of
Evanston.
B
B
So
we
could,
we
could
talk
more
about
it,
but
I
just
wanted
Sophia
to
have
an
opportunity
to
to
introduce
it
and
and
to
see.
If
there's
any
questions.
C
All
right!
Well,
if
there
are
any
further
questions
from
the
committee,
certainly
happy
to
entertain
those
now,
if
not
Sophia,
sorry
I
pronounce
your
name
wrong
several
times.
I
try
to
get
be.
C
Aware
of
that,
so
thank
everyone
and
thank
you
for
the
understanding
that,
but
thank
you
very
much
if
there
are
no
further
questions.
Certainly
looking
forward
to
you
know
you
all
being
able
to
work
more
closely
with
the
city
and
certainly
I'm
sure
councilmember,
Burns
and
Tammy,
and
other
folks
will
follow
up
offline.
C
You
okay,
so
next
on
our
agenda
is
the
demolition
or
deconstruction
RFP
project
which
was
sent
back
to
the
administration
and
Public
Works
committee
agenda
item.
All
right
may
have
a
motion
on
Item
B
under
new
business.
C
By
kimon,
okay,
all
right
I
think
this
is
Aina
Miss
Gutierrez.
The
floor
is
yours.
F
Hi
so
I.
C
F
You
always
yes
I,
so
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
I
I
was
invited
by
the
committee
to
come
so
I'm
happy
to
share
some
of
the
similar
remarks
that
I
made
at
city
council
around
the
demolition
project
and
the
procurement
process
around
the
demolition
project.
F
Let
me
start
by
saying
that
I
am
Pro
prevailing
wage
I
am
the
daughter
of
a
union
treasurer
of
his
Local
Union,
a
railroad
Poorman.
We
put
our
graduates
into
prevailing
wage
jobs
all
the
time.
That's
what
we
want.
However,
if
there
is
intent
by
the
city
to
use
types,
these
types
of
Building
Trades
projects
as
training
opportunities,
I,
don't
know
how
to
do
that
with
a
prevailing
wage
requirement,
because
the
cost
of
deconstruction
versus
Demolition
and
the
cost
of
training
under
prevailing
wages
cost
prohibitive,
so
So.
F
Currently,
the
there
is
no,
at
least
in
my
world
for
deconstruction.
We
do
non-profit
deconstruction,
Services
we're
the
only
non-profit
in
the
region
that
does
it.
There
is
no
like
labor
category
for
prevailing
wage.
That
gives
an
hourly
rate
that
you
pay
someone
to
deconstruct
something
so
generally
that
work
will
fall
under
a
laborer
or
a
carpenter,
and
it
looked
to
me
at
last
time
the
labor
rate
was
45
dollars
an
hour,
so
our
job
training
program,
our
transitional
Employment
Program,
which
does
deconstruction
as
work-based
learning.
F
We
pay
minimum
wage
as
a
large
employer
in
Chicago,
which
is
15
and
40
cents
an
hour.
We
can't
pay
people
45
an
hour
for
lots
of
reasons.
Primarily
I
mean
for
lots
of
reasons,
but
primarily
all
of
our
folks
are
low
income
and
they're
on
SNAP
benefits,
and
they
will
lose
all
of
their
benefits
and,
at
the
end
of
the
project,
go
back
to
making
15
an
hour.
F
It's
not
a
good
training
opportunity,
so
we
did
not,
and
as
far
as
I
I
know,
no
deconstruction
firm
was
able
to
bid
on
this
project.
It
will
not
be
competitive
to
demolition
because
of
the
labor
difference
in
the
labor
cost.
So
my
my
intent
of
going
to
city
council
was
talk
about.
You
know
again.
If
that
is
the
intent-
and
there
is
willingness
from
the
city
to
allow
Workforce
Development
in
these
projects-
I
don't
know
I
think
that's
a
major
barrier
and
I
don't
work
for
a
city.
F
I
am
not
an
expert
on
prevailing
wage,
but
I
do
wonder
if
there
are
solutions
to
kind
of
that
issue,
so
that
was
kind
of
the
first
piece
around
the
project
that
I
spoke
to.
The
second
piece
is
really
around
how
bids
are
rated
for
projects
like
this,
and
so
if
environmental
sustainability,
if
waste
aversion
production
of
air
pollution,
Workforce
Development,
whatever
those
things,
if
it's
not
part
of
the
scoring
metric
for
the
bids,
no
one
has
any
incentive
to
do
it.
F
I
believe
that
the
way
that
this
the
procurement
process
should
be
would
be
to
include
some
of
those
community-wide
commitments
as
well.
So
I
did
speak
to
this
issue.
Don't
trying
not
to
make
things
too
complicated
for
people?
For
me,
it's
not
actually
just
about
Emerson
and
Jackson,
it's
more
broadly
about
what
the
city's
intention
is
on
these
projects
and
how
do
we
procure
them
to
meet
our
goals.
E
C
Much
the
questions
from
the
committee.
G
F
The
so
the
RFP
and
again
I,
don't
know
a
lot
about
Municipal
procurement.
The
RFP
was
for
the
deconstruction
or
demolition
of
a
1
8
acre
parcel
at
Emerson
and
Jackson
that
has
seven
residential
units
and
a
couple
like
a
garage
and
a
really
cool
100
year
old
barn.
Like
some,
you
know
stuff
on
it,
so
we
approached
it
intending
to
bid.
F
It
was
not
advertised
as
prevailing
wage
again
I,
don't
I
didn't
think
to
ask
about
it.
We
walked
to
the
site,
we
decided
to
put
together
a
bid
for
it
discovered
it
was
prevailing
wage
and
because
it's
prevailing
wage
deconstruction
can't
be
cost
competitive.
It's
literally
six
deconstruction
jobs
equals
one
demolition
job,
so
we
didn't
bid
and
no
one
else
bid
either
in
the
deconstruction
space.
So
then,
because
of
the
process
that's
been
set
out,
it
was
going
to
be
awarded
to
a
traditional.
F
F
Is
that
there's
an
attempt
to
think
about
the
assets
of
the
city
and
how
we
procurement
in
a
way
that
reflects
our
values
and
the
whole
reason
why
this
committee
exists
right
at
the
municipal
letter
like
there's,
there's
intent
for
mwebe
work,
I
believe
that
there
should
be
similar
intent
for
Workforce,
Development
and
environmental
sustainability
in
these
projects
and
I
just
wanted
to
lift
up
the
barriers
to
that
I.
Don't
know
that
I
have
any
Brilliant
Solutions.
F
So
that's
the
challenge.
I
can
speak
to
what
you
know.
The
the
chance
so
I
think
just
a
couple
of
thoughts
and
again
I.
Don't
know
if
this
is
a
thing,
but
like
I,
don't
know
how
procurement
works
for
anything
that
the
city
does.
So
my
you
know
again
under
the
prevailing
wage
Act.
It's
a
public
works
project,
but
there's
lots
of
ways
that
taxpayer
dollars
are
spent.
That's
not
prevailing
wage
so
like
what
are
those
things?
How
do
we
think
about
those
things?
Is
there
a
way
to
apply
that
to
this
project?
F
I,
don't
know
if
there's
any
exemption
possibility
if
this
is
a
state
level
thing.
If
you
know
I,
don't
know
what
that
looks
like
in
some
states
there
have
been
exemptions
for
training
on
the
job
training
as
a
result
of
these
projects.
F
I
also
don't
know
if
there's
a
possibility
to
think
about
this
as
an
educational
opportunity
for
the
community.
So
it's
not
just
straight
procurement.
We
need
to
take
these
houses
down,
which
we
do,
but
is
there
an
opportunity
to
think
about
this
as
Environmental
Education
and
Outreach
as
job
training
and
and
vocational
training
as
part
of
education
and
and
really
learning
that
way?
These
are
all
questions.
F
I
have
again
I,
don't
know
what
the
possibilities
are,
but
as
long
as
these
projects,
our
public
work,
you
know
that
fall
under
this
requirement
for
this
project
and
any
other
product
I
mean
the
city
just
bought
a
laundromat
right,
they're
not
going
to
keep
it
as
a
laundromat
as
my
understanding.
So
how
does
that
work?
F
There's
no
other
option
in
my
mind,
but
demolition
unless
there
is
an
adjustment
to
the
procurement
process
to
allow
and
not
just
us
right,
we're,
probably
the
only
Workforce
Development
who
does
deconstruction
out
there,
but
even
if
they
just
wanted
to
do
deconstruction
that
there's
no
way
for
for-profit
providers
to
be
competitive
either.
F
So
I
have
a
lot
more
questions
than
answers,
but
I
did
want
to
lift
up
the
challenge
and
what
I
spoke
to
and
it
just
as
an
aside
like
not
only
working
for
the
rebuilding
exchange
and
caring
about
the
stuff
deeply,
but
I
live
in
the
Fifth.
Ward
I
live
a
half
a
block
from
the
Emerson
Jackson
site.
So
the
idea
that
this
is
all
going
to
get
smashed
up
and
the
dust
is
going
to
go
everywhere
is
not
very
exciting.
To
me,
as
a
member
of
the
community.
B
Let's
go
real
quick
here
if
I
may
so,
I
actually
asked
Tammy
to
invite
Aina
in
anticipation
to
her
comments,
because
I
understood
what
she
spoke
during
one
of
our
last
during
our
council
meeting
I
believe
also
invited
our
Law
Department
to
to
weigh
in
on
the
question
of
prevailing
wage
specific
to
the
issue
of
whether
or
not
there
are
exemptions
for
for
non-profit
organizations,
training
organizations.
And
so,
if
we
can.
B
If
chair,
we
can
hold
comments
to
to
complete
the
full
presentation
which
includes
allowing
the
Law
Department
to
walk
us
through
that
prevailing
wage
act
or
whatever
it's
called
and
then
kick
it
back
out
for
questions
and
comments
from
committee
members.
B
The
reason
why
I
invited
the
Law
Department
was
I
think,
while
some
of
the
other
goals
that
I
know
laid
out
are
really
important,
I
think
the
the
literally
the
bottom
line
is
going
to
come
down
to
the
great
prevailing
wage
act,
because
if,
if,
if
we
have
to
pay
the
trainees
prevailing
ways,
the
cost
is
just
something
that
we
just
don't
have
the
money
out
of
the
West,
Jefferson
tip
and
I
doubt
you
know
we're
gonna
wanna
getting
outgoing
our
general
Reserve
fund
to
do
it
so
I,
just
I
think
literally
it'll
be
Out
Of
Reach
because
of
the
cost,
which
is
why
I
invited
the
Law
Department
here
to
see
if
there
are
any
exceptions
or
anything
else
that
we
could
apply
to
this
project.
C
Wonderful
I
do
see,
kimono's
hand
has
been
up
and
then
maybe
I'll
just
take
that
question
and
then
we'll
have
a
motion
on
the
other
two
items
and
we'll
just
discuss
all
three
at
the
same
time
come
on.
H
Yeah,
thank
you
so
so
I
guess
we'll
get
a
little
bit
more
information
on
on
the
prevailing
wage,
but
Ayanna
I,
don't
know
if
I
missed
this
part
but
Bobby,
you
kind
of
explain
it.
So
the
issue
with
this
project
being
prevailing
wage
is
because
you
would
have
to
pay
the
contractors
more
money.
F
Crew
members
right
so
there
are
transitional
employees,
so
the
training
program
is
paid,
but
not
at
that
prevailing
wage.
But
the
bigger
issue
to
Bobby's
point
is:
it
would
cost
probably
three
times
what
the
demolition
contractor
bid
was
and
the
budget
for
that
is
my
understanding.
Would
it's
just
not
cost
competitive,
so
we
would
want
to.
F
We
want
to
save
the
material
and
we
want
to
use
it
as
a
job
training
opportunity,
but
it's
not
feasible
for
us
to
to
pay
it
as
prevailing
wage,
and
we
also
have
additional
barriers
with
our
program
and
why
we
wouldn't
pay
prevailing
wage.
We
could
certainly
bid
on
it
as
prevailing
ways,
but
we
decided
not
to
because
we
didn't
think
it
would
be
cost
competitive,
and
so
it
wouldn't
be
chosen
as
a
bit.
B
I
B
Come
on
just
one
another
way
to
think
about
it
is
is
be
because
it's
a
training
program,
they're,
probably
going
to
have
a
lot
of
trainees
involved,
so
each
person
would
need
to
get.
You
know,
be
compensated
and,
and
also
because
it's
deconstruction
it'll
take
longer.
B
So
another
job
like
in
comparison,
the
you
know
Recon
or
some
of
the
other
people
that
applied
they
might
just
have
a
two
or
three
person
crew
out
there
with
a
hose
and
a
you
know,
and
I
can't
remember
what
that
equipment
is
called.
B
Big
heavy
machinery
just
knock
itself
down,
hosing
it
to
suppress
the
dust
as
much
as
possible,
and
that's
that's
the
gig
right.
It's
a
three
up.
It's
a
two
or
three
person.
You
know
job
and
that's
it,
whereas
you
know
Ina
is
because
it's
Workforce
because
it's
training
a
lot
more
workers.
It's
going
to
take
longer
because
it's
deconstruction
really
taking
the
time
to
you,
know
to
salvage
as
much
as
they
can
and
repurpose
it
or
sell
it
so
yeah.
Hopefully,
that
helps
tomorrow.
Yeah
come
on
you.
C
Okay,
I
see
that
Jared
put
his
hand
down
so
then
may
I
have
a
motion
on
so
we
can
discuss
this
all
at
the
same
time
to
include
with
Item
B
item
C
and
D.
C
Without
objection
like
that
friendly
Amendment.
C
Council
Johnson,
if
you
want
to
hop
into
the
conversation
here
based
on
what
we
were
just
discussing
and
begin,
your
presentation,
then
we'll
kind
of
circle
back
to
Aina
sure.
J
Sure
so
I
don't
don't
have
a
presentation
necessarily,
but
I
did
prepare
a
memo
for
the
committee
to
review
kind
of
outlining
generally
what
the
key
terms
and
the
prevailing
wage
act
are,
what
they
mean
and
how
they
relate
to
not-for-profit
entities.
J
Now
circuit
courts
have
found
that
not-for-profit
entities
who
engage
in
public
works
or
receive
public
funds
are
deemed
as
public
bodies,
so
they
would
be
subject
to
the
prevailing
wage
Act.
J
J
So
they
may
not
have
the
same
titles
necessarily
as
you
know,
full-fledged
laborers,
who
are
doing
the
type
of
projects
or
actions
that
we
need
for
a
demolition
project.
So
I
can
look
more
into
that
to
see
if
there
are
any
car
routes
and
they
act
for
training
specifically
or
if
there
is
any
sort
of
way
to
maybe
categorize
trainees
differently
than
we
would
people
who
may
be.
You
know
licensed
or
certified
for
a
certain
position.
So
I
can
certainly
look
more
into
that
as
well.
J
I
know
that
I
was
asked
also
about
classifications
for
the
rfps
like
racial
classifications.
Do
you
want
me
to
discuss
that
now
or
do
we
want
to
speak
about
that
sure.
B
C
I'm
looking
to
start
I'm
trying
to
get
my
remove
this
as
your
presentation
all
right
now,
I
can
see
I,
don't
see
any
hands
up.
C
Oh,
there's
Angela.
K
Thank
you
so
and
I
know
that
I
have
my
notes
on
on
this
from
the
prior
time.
Aina
that
you
spoke
with
us
about
prevailing
wage
and
so
apprenticeships
are
also
paid
at
prevailing
wage.
Just
as
I
I
am
not
fully
versed
on
all
the
different
levels
of
of
these
types
of
jobs.
So
that
would
be
super
helpful
to
understand.
Is
there
a
difference
between
someone
who
is
in
apprenticeship?
F
Right
so
the
only
and
again
happy
to
have
an
attorney
here,
not
an
attorney,
but
my
understanding
from
the
prevailing
wage
Act
is
that
apprentices
can
be
covered
if
they
are
Department
of
Labor
registered
apprenticeship
programs,
however,
and
they
are
able
to
be
paid
at
a
lower
wage,
an
apprenticeship
level
wage
which,
for
our
Union,
is
still
going
to
be
like
30,
25,
30,
35
bucks
an
hour,
the
the
bigger
barrier
for
us
actually
is.
That
is
the
the
job
training
scale.
F
So
my
understanding
from
other
folks
that
do
this
is
that
you
need
a
certain
number
of
journeyman
level
supervisors
for
that
person
to
have
to
be
able
to
work
on
the
project,
and
so
we
might
train
you
know
we
operated
a
crew
of
six
to
eight
people
at
a
time
that
would
all
get
work.
Experience
doing
this
project,
you
might
get
one
Apprentice
with
so
many
Journey
people.
So
it's
also
like
thinking
about
impact
and
the
amount
of
impact
that
we
can
have
working
at
the
scale.
F
Thank
you
for
me.
It's
not
yeah!
So
it's
not!
You
know.
My
question
would
be
less
about
how
nonprofits
interact
with
prevailing
wage
more
about
the
requirement
of
prevailing
wage
on
these
types
of
projects,
and
do
they
have
to
be
in
the
procurement
process,
like
what
I'd
be
curious
about
exemptions,
but
I'm
also
curious
about
like
when,
when
prevailing
wage
kicks
in,
for
what
types
of
projects
and
when
it
doesn't
around.
B
Molly
question
was:
was
Mark
I,
don't
know
if
you're
prepared
to
answer
that
now,
but
if
not,
if
we
could
try
to
put
you
and.
A
B
Together
between
you
know
this
meeting
and
the
next
APW
meeting
and
and
Tammy
you
can,
you
know
we
can
forward
these
minutes
over
into
to
the
APW
Committee
just
so
they
know
that
we
discussed
it
and
what
some
of
our
concerns
and
questions
questions
were
at
this
meeting
we
can
afford
that
to
APW
and
then
and
then
Mario.
If
you
could,
if
you
could
have
some
of
these
answers
at
the
next
ABW
meeting,
that
would
be
great.
J
I
could
definitely
do
that.
It
would
be
helpful
for
me
to
speak
with
Aina
just
offline
so
that
I
can
kind
of
have
more
information
about
how
the
program
works.
Specifically,
what
certifications
are
just
more
of
like
a
baseline
understanding
of
the
nuances,
so
I
think
that
I
could
have
a
more
appropriate
answer
for
the
organization,
specifically
in
general.
J
J
But
if
I
understood
better
kind
of
what
the
nuances
of
the
program
were,
I
could
see
if
there
are
carve
outs
within
the
act
itself
or
within
the
structure
of
the
positions
that
would
allow
for
something
a
little
more
lenient
or
less
financially.
Strenuous.
F
That
would
be
great,
and
the
other
thing
I
will
say.
That's
kind
of
ironic
about
all
of
this
is
that
a
lot
of
our
programming
at
the
moment
is
funded
by
the
state
of
Illinois
right.
The
state
of
Illinois
is
investing
in
pre-apprenticeship
to
get
people
into
prevailing
wage
jobs.
So
then
the
idea
that
you
can't
get
training
by
working
on
Public
Works
projects
is
strange
to
me
and
I
know
well
beyond
the
scope
of
this
conversation.
F
But
it's
you
know
we're
not
registered
with
the
Department
of
Labor,
but
we
are
funded
by
the
Illinois
Works
pre-apprenticeship
program,
which
is
through
the
Department
of
Commerce
through
the
state
of
Illinois,
and
so
I
just
feel
like
there's
that-
and
this
is
all
new
too
right
just
in
the
last
couple
of
years,
it's
been
greater
State
investment,
I,
just
wonder
and
I'm
not
doing
you
know,
I,
don't
I'm
we're
super
above
board.
I,
certainly
don't
want
to
get
into
a
situation
where
we're
not
abiding
by
the
law
right.
F
We
want
to
abide
by
the
law,
but
it
does
seem
odd
to
me
that
there
wouldn't
be
an
opportunity
for
some
kind
of
exemption,
given
the
opportunity
that
presents
themselves
by
some
of
these
Public
Work
projects
and
by
organizations
who
are
being
funded
by
the
state
to
train
people
to
be
able
to
access
these
careers.
It
just
seems
strange.
C
Okay,
thank
you
so
I
see,
Michael
has
his
hand
up
next
gonna
join
in.
G
G
You
know
the
the
they
are
the
people
on
the
ground,
preparing
our
youth
to
enter
the
trades
markets
and
the
trades
Industries
and
build
trades
people
that
can
be
employed
locally
and,
ultimately,
you
know
Foster
entrepreneurial
and
small
business
growth.
G
So
if
we
can't
figure
out
a
way
to
work
them
into
our
Public
Funding
for
for
these
projects,
you
know
we
we
got
to
do
something
else.
You
know
and
continue
to
support
them,
but
it
seems
like
a
a
real
lost
opportunity.
I
know
the
laws.
Are
the
laws
and
I'm
not
suggesting
anybody,
yeah,
a
city
or
otherwise
break
them,
but
to
to
lose
the
opportunity
to
reclaim
valuable
resources
from
the
site
and
to
lose
the
opportunity
to
not
train
local
residents
for
with
a
local,
not-for-profit
who's
committed
to
Workforce
Development
ability.
G
We
are
we're
we
we're
being
forced
to
kind
of
pick
one
path
or
the
other
we're
going
to
pick
prevailing
scale
for
three
people
right
on
this
job
for
for
an
for
for
an
MBE
company.
Potentially,
that's
that's
great.
That's
not
it's
not
a
bad
thing,
but
you
know
there.
There
may
be
a
greater
good
here
that
requires
more
flexibility
and
I.
G
Just
I
would
I
I'm
glad
that
the
city
has
involved
the
legal
department
with
them
to
work
on
this
issue,
because
I
think
it
is
a
very
big
issue
that
aina's
pointing
out,
but
there's
probably
going
to
be
when
we
start
digging
into
it.
G
Dozens
and
dozens
of
opportunities
or
roadblocks
for
more
of
this
type
of
work
and
I
do
think
it's
foundational
to
what
we're
about
to
talk
about
with
our
work
groups
and
our
work
plans
that
we
have
trained
people
that
are
qualified
to
work
for
contractors
going
forward
and
and
if
the
city
can
use
its
resources
to
train
them
on
their
own
projects.
It
just
seems
a
little
disconnected,
so
it's
it's
worthwhile
exploring.
However,
we
can
I.
L
C
C
Know
again
with
with
the
work
of
this
committee,
certainly,
as
you
pointed
out
Michael,
this
is
key
to
our
work,
but
in
a
Global
Perspective.
Also,
not
only
does
this
meet
our
Workforce
Development
goals,
but
one
of
the
things
that
our
council
is
focused
on
is
our
climate
action.
C
Resiliency
goals
and
rebuilding
Warehouse
is
is
going
in
in
businesses
and
non-profits
like
theirs,
are
going
to
be
key
to
creating
a
truly
circular
economy
and
helping
to
salvage
resources
and
use
them
more
efficiently,
and
so
this
meets
a
whole
host
of
goals
that
the
city
has
and
so
yeah.
It
would
be
ashamed
in,
but
I
also
want
to
keep
in
mind.
We
have
a
number
of
great
State
legislature,
legislators,
both
in
the
house
and
the
Senate
and
I.
Think
one
of.
A
C
House
members
Robin
Gable,
is
now
in
house
leadership,
I
think
she's
the
majority
leader,
and
so,
if,
if
we
find
out
if
our
Law
Department
can't
find
a
way
for
us
to
make
this
happen,
I
think
the
next
course
of
action
is
for
us
to
take
this
to
our
representatives
and
hopefully
create
a
carve
out
in
state
law,
because
I
can't
imagine
this
is
the
only
missed
this
is
this
will
if,
if
we
can't
find
something,
this
would
be
a
huge
missed
opportunity
for
us
and
I
can't
imagine
we're
the
only
municipality
in
in
Illinois.
C
That
would
have
something
like
this.
That
would
that
that
you
know
could
be
missed
out
on,
and
so
we
want
to
make
sure
we
get
that
changed
with
that.
Is
there
any
further
discussion
on
this
particular
item.
C
F
Think
also
on
the
I
agree
with
everything
that's
been
said
and
I'm
grateful
for
it,
because
I
I
do
feel
like
the
goal
here
is
to
create
long-lasting
kind
of
impactful
public-private
Partnerships,
and
that's
why
we
love
Evanston,
while
we're
head
toward
in
Evanston,
while
we'll
continue
to
be
in
Evanston,
so
I'm
deeply
grateful
for
that.
F
It's
doing
the
work
it's
being
on
the
site
and
it's
doing
the
transitional
employment
and
getting
you
know
getting
a
pathway
to
be
able
to
move
forward.
So
just
to
name.
The
state
has
made
a
fair
amount
of
investment
and
it's
been
the
first
time
for
us.
We're
literally
finished
in
our
first
year
of
ever
receiving
government
funding
directly
from
the
state
and
I
think,
there's
going
to
be
more
opportunities
for
that
funding
and
so
again,
just
to
emphasize
that
pipeline
everyone's
on
the
same
page
toward
this
common
goal.
B
Continue
yeah
I
just
want
to
do
a
quick
thought,
so
the
next
APW
meeting
is
on
the
23rd
I.
Think.
Typically,
we
like
stuff
to
be
in
the
packet
by
what
Friday
at
the
latest,
we
can
make
some
I,
don't
think
the
packet
I
mean
there
could
be
some
exceptions
made
I
mean
we
could
do
a
pat.
We
could
provide
packet
information
all
the
way
up
to
the
day.
It
does
that,
don't
think,
there's
any
Oma
rules
about
that,
but
I
just
wanted
to.
A
B
The
next
APW
committee,
which
is
on
Monday,
January,
23rd
and
so
I,
know
if
you
can
working
with
Mario
before
then,
to
try
to
figure
this
out
so
that
we
can.
We
can
discuss
it
on
as
early
as
Monday.
Now
we
certainly
can
hold
it
or
table
it,
and
and
have
the
discussion
at
a
at
a
future
meeting,
but
I
think
there
is
some
urgency
around
this
issue.
Part
of
the
reason
why
I
took
took
this
issue
on
and
really
advocated.
B
It
to
my
colleagues
to
get
a
deal
done
here
is
because
it
is,
as
you
know,
I
end
up
living
over
there
blight
and
these
these
houses
are
in
really
bad
shape
and
and
I
get
pretty
regular.
B
Calls
about
the
fact
that
why
are
we
allowing
the
fences
to
be
up
and
Boards
in
certain
areas
to
be
up
that
really
need
to
be
able
to
keep
people
out
at
this
point,
and
why
are
we
allowing
it
to
continue
to
go
on
in
this
neighborhood
and
we
wouldn't
allow
it
in
other
neighborhoods
right,
I'm,
getting
all
types
of
things
from
community
members
and
rightfully
so?
So
we
do
need
to
keep
a
pace
on
this.
So
if
and
I'm
saying
I'll
just
say
just
encourage
y'all
to.
B
C
Thank
you
actual
chair
all
right.
Moving
on
with
our
agenda.
Thank
you.
Aina
I,
don't
know
if
you're
sticking
off
this
next
part
but
I
think
that
brings
us
to
item
C,
which
is
the
I
guess.
Illinois
law
concerning
Revenue
report
of
state
of
Illinois
concerning
Revenue
public
act.
A
B
No
you're
good
because
I'm
you're
in
a
better
place
to
do
it.
So
if,
if,
if
the
committee
were
caused,
I
brought
up
several
meetings
ago
now
and
I
think
there
was
agreement
to
move
in
this
direction
to
start
to
disaggregate
the
the
data
around
around
in
in
webe
vendors.
You
know
and
people
that
work
with
the
city
the
importance
being
that
right
now
under
minority,
the
latinx
community,
the
African-American
community
I
believe
the
Asian
Community
there
might
be.
B
The
others
are
kind
of
lumped
in
as
one
community
and
I
think.
It's
important
for
many
reasons
that
we
disaggregate
that
data
and
really
understand
so
that
we
can
use
an
equity
lens
to
have
a
much
clearer
sense
of
what
communities
we're
supporting
and
which
ones
that
we're
having
in
an
issue
connecting
with
opportunity
and
and
so
at
that
meeting.
B
I
think
Tammy
said
that
there
is
some
legislation
that
may
align
with
that
request
and
and
that
the
city
of
the
state
has
kind
of
directed
cities
to
start
to
collect
this.
This
type
of
data,
this
information,
demographic
information,
which
is
why
I
asked
Tammy
to
reach
out
to
our
legal
department
to
provide
some
more
information
about
that
statute.
J
Right
so
35
IL,
CS2,
00
18-50.2
has
been
revised,
but
it
still
mandates
that
home,
Rule
and
non-home
Rule
municipalities
make
a
good
faith
effort
to
collect
and
publish
data
such
as
whether
vendors
or
subcontractors
are
minority-owned,
woman-owned
or
veteran
owned,
and
so
those
are
broader
categories
that
are
required
as
part
of
the
collection
process
of
data
when
the
municipality
contracts
with
any
sort
of
vendor
or
subcontractor.
J
However,
it's
not
necessarily
required
for
the
municipality
to
dig
further
into
those
larger
classifications.
So,
for
example,
minority
person
includes,
as
council
member
Burns
was
saying
five
sub
categories,
and
so
what
it
sounds
like
is
that
the
city
is
interested
in
collecting
data
about
those
five
subcategories
to
sort
of
be
able
to
identify
which
racial
racial
classification
of
vendor
subcontractor
might
be,
as
they
are
broadly
defined
as
minority
owned.
So
there's
not
any
case
law
that
defines
whether
or
not
we
are
precluded
from
doing
that
or
whether
it's
encouraged
there's.
J
The
only
thing
that's
really
outlined
for
us
is
that
we
must
ask
whether
the
vendor
subcontractor
is
minority
owned.
However,
I
don't
think
that
that's
something
that
we
would
be
unable
to
ask
of
our
vendors
and
subcontractors,
so
I
think
that
it
is
something
that
we
could
include
I,
but
I
would
hesitate
to
say
that
it's
something
that
we
would
require.
J
We
would
have
to
ask
if
they
are
minority
owned
generally,
but
I.
Don't
there
is
no
case
law,
one
way
or
the
other
to
say
that
we
are
able
to
or
not
able
to
ask
some
specific
racial
classifications,
but
I
would
hesitate
to
make
that
a
requirement,
because
we
are
not
explicitly
allowed
to
do
so.
J
So
the
legal
department
suggests
that,
if
that
is
something
that
the
city
is
interested
in
beginning
to
include
that
we
stick
very
specifically
to
the
definitions
as
they
are
outlined
by
the
business
Enterprise
for
minorities,
women
and
persons
with
Disability
Act,
because
that's
actually,
where
the
racial
definitions
are
so
a
minority
person
is
defined
there
and
then
the
sub
categories
of
different
races
is
also
defined
there.
And
so
that
way
we
stick
as
closely
as
we
can
to
Legal
definitions
and
what
has
been
defined
by
law.
J
So,
in
the
event
that
somebody
somewhere
later
does
decide
that
they
would
like
to
contest
that
we
have
stuck
as
closely
to
the
law
as
possible.
So
that's
kind
of
the
broad
opinion
of
the
Law
Department
I
would
be
more
than
happy
to
kind
of
go
into
specific
legal
ramifications
and
a
different
setting.
Obviously
I
can't
do
that
here,
but
if
that
is
a
conversation
that
we'd
like
to
have,
you
know
a
little
more
in
depth.
That
would
be
something
that
we
could
do
offline.
B
Thank
you
Mario.
This
is,
this
is
really
good
information
and
could
you
could
you
explain
what
those
sub
subgroups
are
I
think
this
is
the
way
you
describe.
J
So
the
following
subcategories
are
defined
as
one
which
is
a
American,
Indian
or
Alaska
native
a
person
having
origins
in
any
of
the
original
peoples
of
North
and
South
America,
including
Central
America,
and
who
maintains
tribal
affiliation
or
Community
attachment,
be
Asian,
a
person
having
origins
in
any
of
the
original
peoples
of
the
far
east,
Southeast
Asia
or
the
Indian
subcontinent,
including,
but
not
limited
to
Cambodia
China
India,
Japan,
Korea,
Malaysia
Pakistan
and
the
Philippine
Islands
Thailand
and
Vietnam
C,
black
or
African-American
a
person
having
origins
in
any
of
the
black
racial
groups
of
Africa,
D,
Hispanic
or
Latino,
a
person
of
Cuban
Mexican,
Puerto,
Rican,
south
or
Central
American
or
other
Spanish
culture
of
origin,
regardless
of
race,
e
native
Hawaiian
or
other
Pacific
Islander.
J
B
Perfectly,
and
and
just
and
I
think
this
is
great
and
I
I
think
as
as
Mario
suggested,
I
do
think
we
should
move
forward
and
I
agree
with
what
Mario
is
saying,
not
obviously
she's
not
providing
the
recommendation
as
to
whether
or
not
we
should
do
this
or
not,
but
saying
if
we
do
to
stay
close
to
those
definitions
which
I
think
we
should
do,
but
just
to
give
just
a
brief
background
of
why
I
think
this
is
important
is
because
all
of
those
different
groups
that
we
just
heard
have
certainly
some
shared
experiences
but
but
a
a
really
different
history
in
this
country
there
are
different
stigmas
around
work
and
the
apply
to
different
groups.
B
That
I
think
impacts
whether
or
not
they
can
realistically
get
the
same
amount
of
work
as
others
and
I
don't
see.
This
says
this
is
not
an
opportunity
to
to
try
to
kind
of
put
groups
against
one
another,
but
really
to
see
where
there
are
gaps
right,
I'm,
looking
at
it
more
so
in
where
are
there?
Where
are
we?
B
Where
are
we
having
difficult?
You
know
what?
What
areas
or
for
what
categories
are
we
having
difficulty
connecting
them
to
opportunities
in
Evanston,
and
it's
hard
to
really
understand
that?
If
we're
lumping
all
these
different,
you
know
people
who
have
different
experiences
into
one.
You
know
minority
group
I,
don't
think
that
really
helps
us
address
some
of
the
underlying
issues
that
that
make
it
difficult
for
people
to
find
opportunity
and
Evanston
and
I
think
it's.
B
It
also
makes
it
really
difficult
to
have
a
genuine
discussion
about
racial
Equity,
advancing
some
of
the
racial
Equity
goals
that
we
also
have
so
just
want
to
provide
that
as
some
background
and
and
again
whether
we
make
it
a
requirement
or
we
just
strongly
we,
you
know
we
put
it
on
the
application
or
wherever
it
will
be
and
just
encourage
people
to
fill
it
out.
But
it's
it's
not
mandatory,
I'd
be
fine
with
either
or
but
I
do
think
it's
important.
We
start
collecting
this.
That
data.
H
E
Combining
the
LEP
Pro
policy
with
the
mwebe
goal
and
the
so
it's
two
separate
things
we
don't
necessarily
collect
or
have
that
classification
breakdown
for
LEP
is
based
on
residency,
not
race
and
m-w-e-b-e
is
we're
looking
if
we
need
to
include
these
additional
classification
breakdown
for
collecting
vendor
data
and
the
contractors
that
we're
awarding
projects
to
collecting
that
data
for
those
businesses,
not
individuals.
H
B
I
was
going
to
say,
local
employment
is,
is
has
to
do
with
Evanston
resident.
It's
like
it's
like
a
local
Evanston
resident
priority,
and
then
separate
from
that
is.
The
nweb
goes.
K
C
B
Priority
you
know
that
local
residents
are
involved
in
contracts
that
are
City
funded,
but
we
can't
create
minority.
You
know,
goals
around
contracts,
but
we
can't
require
it.
C
Point
no
yeah
I
was
just
saying:
I
was
clarifying
it
because
you
said
mwe
or
MW
whatever,
so
this
just
we
can't
create
goals
around
race
or
gender.
That's
always
clarifying
okay.
So
with
that
I
think
we
are
on
to
thank
you,
Mari
for
your
thorough
research.
B
Seems
like
it's
just
a
report:
yeah
I'll
bring
it
back
for
because
I
would
like
us
to
ultimately
discuss
and
vote
on
this,
but
we'll
bring
it
back
in
a
future
meeting.
Wonderful!
That's
all
true!
Thank
you.
Okay,.
C
C
We
need
yeah
move
by
councilmember
Burns
seconded
by
second
councilmember
Harris,
or
am
I
not
able
to
get
this
pulled
up
on
my
agenda
here
all
right.
Well,
let's
start
with
the
updates.
I
think
we
have
a
number
of
committees
here
that
maybe
have
some
updates,
so
Michael
seemed
pretty
enthused,
so
maybe
I'll
just
kick
it
to
you,
Mike
Michael,
to
kick
us
off
yeah.
B
Just
give
some
some
background,
so
we
obviously
been
working
on
the
work
plan.
We
have
three
work:
working
groups,
three
goals
and
out
of
those
goals,
the
assignment
was
to
to
meet
with
your
team
and
and
to
come
up
with
strategies
and
objectives.
B
Group
number
one
completed
the
assignment
now
group
and
presented
I,
believe
at
the
previous
nweb
committee
meeting
and
and
then
since
then,
group
two
I
think
have
one
of
their
members
are
out
of
town
and
then
group
three
have
met
but
hadn't
put
pen
the
paper
yet.
But
at
this
point
all
groups
have
provided,
have
completed
assignment
and
provided
a
word
doc
that
describes
how
they
would
achieve
their
goal
and
and
so
yeah.
We
can
start
off
with
this.
B
G
Michael
yeah,
so
Ernest
and
I
have
been
working
on
this.
We
dove
in
a
little
quickly,
more
really
looking
at
prac
the
Practical
side
of
of
what's
happening,
and
what
we're
seeing
do
you
want
me
to
share
the
document
or
should
I
just
run
through
it
just.
B
You
can
you
can
share
it
and
run
through
it
and
then
I'm
gonna.
Add
it
to
all
of
these
to
the
work
plan
following
this
meeting
and
then
we'll
share
that
out,
so
that
everybody
has
time
to
review
it
between
this
meeting
and
the
next
one.
So
I
don't
expect
anybody
to
have
any
clear
Direction
about
what
we
do
next,
but
I
at
least
want
an
opportunity
for
for
people
to
hear
from
both
groups
and
if
there's
any
immediate
questions
or
comments,
we
can
bring
bring
those
up.
G
All
right
so
Ernest,
like
you,
talked
about
challenges,
potential
strategies
and
then
and
then
some
potential
goals
to
to
come
come
out
of
those
things
and
Ernest.
Do
you
want
to
go
through
some
of
the
challenges?
Since
you?
You
really
did
some
work
there.
You
know
you
kind
of
kind
of
looking
into
the
the
existing
state
of
small
businesses
and
and
MW
businesses.
I
Yeah,
that's
fine
I
mean
some
of
the
challenges.
As
we
go
down
this
list,
we
identified
five
of
them.
More
was
more
than
five,
but
at
least
those
five
areas
in
which
we
like
to
consider-
and
maybe
our
visit
so
there's
a
lack
of
formally
qualified
and
or
certified
contractors
which
reside
in
Evanston
we're
unable
to
find
any
more
or
less.
I
I
You
also
have
no
centralized
system
to
to
keep
active
lists
of
qualified
contractors,
because
there's
no
contractors
there's
no
list
to
associate
them
with
or
to
tie
them
to.
So
when
these
projects
come
up,
we
should
have
a
list
and
have
those
who
are
qualified
to
go
to
and
and
and
present
this
to
them
give
them
that
opportunity
to
be
involved
in
some
of
the
opportunities
here
in
Evanston
and
some
of
the
surrounding
areas
as
well.
I
You
have
limited
access
to
available
training,
education
programs
for
those
interested,
informing
or
growing
a
small
business
and
and
even
understanding
what
that
means.
So
we
need
to
have
that
education
in
place
right
now.
So
if
our
goal
is
to
especially
with
the
Northwestern
project
coming
up,
because
we
know
that's-
you
know
in
our
face
currently
right
now,
but
you
know
there's
tons
of
other
projects
currently
going
on.
I
We
have
to
prepare
these
individuals
to
be
ready
for
that
and
to
also
grow
beyond
that
point,
because
the
City
of
Evanston
won't
stop
growing
beyond
that.
Stadium
being
built
is
going
to
continue
at
that
point,
they
have
the
cost
of
doing
business,
helping
them
come
to
an
understanding
what
that
means
and-
and
then
Everson
is
higher
than
other
communities
when
it
comes
down
to
cost
over
time
and
material.
In
some
cases,
May
then
also
you
have.
I
The
municipal
contract
may
be
Out
Of
Reach
for
the
current
level
of
small
businesses
right
now,
because
they're
not
prepared
they're,
not
ready
and
and
simply
put
that
they
might
not
know
how
to
get
there
at
this
point,
and
we
had
to
provide
that
that
particular
vehicle
for
them
and
as
a
councilman
Burns
had
mentioned
he.
You
know
this
road
map
and
we
have
to
put
that
road
map
in
place
right
now,.
C
G
So
so,
then
you
know
we
really
looked
into
you
know
kind
of
so
taking
these
challenges,
which
is
not
it's
not
dissimilar
to
the
same
challenges
as
as
Workforce
Development
right.
We
we
need
to
start
a
foundational
support
system,
not
just
to
support
our
existing
small
businesses,
but
also
to
to
create
small
businesses
and
to
Foster
them
wanting
to
be
in
Evanston
as
a
home
and
yeah.
Some
of
the
things
that
came
up
around
there
is
the
SBA
8A
program,
which
is
a
mentor
Protege
type
program.
G
Ernest
knows
a
bit
a
lot
more
about
it
than
I.
Do
I'm
I'm,
look
I'm
researching
it
now,
but
it's
a
it's
an
opportunity
where
an
existing
more
experienced,
potentially
company
can
take
on
Protege
companies
that
want
to
move
from
a
a
single,
a
single
employee,
you
know,
or
self-employed
handyman
or
or
mechanic
or
caterer,
towards
more
substantial
opportunities
to
bid
on
government
work,
not
just
in
Evanston
but
outside
of
Evanston
and
as
a
thinking
in
the
cyclical
regenerative
mindset.
G
You
know
training
our
small
businesses
not
just
to
be
employed
here,
not
just
to
provide
our
their
services
within
our
city,
but
to
actually
import
right,
so
that
they're,
actually
you
know
winning
Federal
bids
and
state
bids
that
now
they're
employing
with
that
have
been
standard,
but
with
their
growing
with
with
other
resources
as
well.
So
so
looking
into
some
of
these,
these
programs
that
already
exist
in
fostering
supplementing
helping
to
bring
that
training
and
those
resources
to
our
residents
is
something
that
I
think
we
could
focus
on.
G
That
would
give
us
a
leg
up
as
opposed
to
starting
from
scratch,
and
you
know
we,
you
know
the
other
ideas
that
we
may
want
to
consider
are
incentives.
So
we
we
are
there.
Currently,
there
are
no
incentives
for
private
landlords
or
homeowners
to
hire
local
residents
to
do
work
and
when
you
go
drive
down
any
Road
in
Evanston
in
the
summer,
in
a
nine
out
of
10
vans
are
not
from
Evanston
but
they're.
All
working
here,
you
know
landscapers
contractors,
whatever
doing
work
here,
so
you
know,
is
there
a?
G
Is
there
a
way
that
the
city
can
prioritize
and
incentivize
residents
and
Property
Owners
to
utilize
service
companies
that
are
that
are
based
here?
That
could
be
a
sales
tax
incentive
that
could
be.
You
know,
a
permit
incentive.
G
Other
other
items,
other
levers
that
the
city
might
be
able
to
to
utilize
to
try
to
to
encourage
that.
That
use
as
well
as
engaging
the
high
school
and
discussing
to
put
you
know
with
the
high
school.
Where
are
Workforce
education,
where
entrepreneurial
training,
where
you
know
where?
Where
do
we
stand
with
our
promotion
of
the
trades
within
our
educational
system?
And
it's
it's
weak
I
mean
it.
It
is
getting
better.
G
There
are
efforts
making
it
better,
but
it
is
still
pretty
weak
and
I
think
that
is
in
our
future.
G
Educating
high
schoolers
on
the
value
of
a
vocational
career,
an
entrepreneurial
activity,
entrepreneurial
opportunities
that
go
along
with
that,
unlike
any
other
career,
is
really
critical,
and
it's
it's
a
piece
of
information
that
our
community
is
missing.
I
think,
overall,
on
a
whole,
so
that
that
you
know
is
is
a
general.
G
You
know
pass
at
some
strategies
that
could
start
to
affect
change
in
some
of
the
challenges
that
we
identified
and
we,
you
know,
started
to
put
together
some
ideas
of
goals,
but,
of
course,
I
think
goals
are
going
to
come
out
of.
All
three
groups
are
going
to
start
to
really
look
at
cohesive
goals
and
where
that
all
work
together,
so
I
think
we're
all
going
to
have
very
similar
goals,
a
home
for
small
businesses
and
and
businesses
and
and
people
who
want
to
become
businesses.
G
I
Yeah
I
mean
honestly:
what
happens
is
you
you
take
an
individual
who's
qualified
to
be
a
small
business?
They
never
they
never
take
that
extra
step
at
this
point
and
I've
noticed
that
over
the
years
17
years,
which
I've
been
here
in
Evanston,
there's
very
few
companies
that
has
taken
that
that
step
to
go
beyond
a
certain
point
and
certain
minority
groups
I
couldn't
quite
understand
why?
I
I
Sometimes
we
don't
have
that
opportunity
to
take
an
individual
who's,
qualified
helping
them
to
understand
what
it
means
to
be
a
business
being
Incorporated
where
insurance
comes
in.
Why
do
you
need
to
be
bonded?
I
Why
do
you
need
to
know
about
payroll
where
all
these
things,
important
and
I
think
we
need
to
do
that
and
I
think
we've
set
those
training
centers
up
for
that,
and
also
when
you
come
down
to
the
high
schools,
our
children,
they
don't
have
that
direction
either
and,
and
they
could
I
mean
it's
not
just
coming
out
being
you
know
a
a
labor
man
or
or
whatever
we
only
want
to
trade.
What
about
owning
that
business?
I
So
it's
it's
all
in
the
planning
sense
of
things,
but
I
think
that
there's
huge
opportunities
here
that
we're
just
now
taking
advantage
of
of
SBA
has
a
ton
of
programs.
You
have
the
7j
program
joint.
I
You
have
the
joint
venture,
which
is
actually
tied
into
the
mentor
Protege
program
currently
right
now,
and
there
are
certain
requirements
that
a
company
has
to
have
but
now's
the
time
to
do
it,
because
they
have
to
be
two
years
old,
at
least
be
in
business
for
two
years,
just
to
be
recognized
as
a
small,
disadvantaged
business
or
as
a
business,
just
in
itself
some
of
these
individuals
who
aren't
trained
and
ready.
I
C
Hand,
though
yeah
all
right,
Jared.
L
Yeah,
thank
you
just
to
just
to
add
to
what
you're,
saying
and
I
think
Michael
I
think
I
may
have
seen
you
at
some
of
these
meetings
as
well,
but
just
so
that
you
all
can
put
in
your
back
pocket
that
you
know.
L
Obviously,
the
mayor's
the
the
meac
under
Neil
gamble,
mayor's
employment,
advisory,
Council
and
career
Pathways
at
eths
under
10
10
francel,
know,
are
speaking
exactly
to
what
you
all
are
talking
about,
and
especially
with
the
kind
of
endorsement
last
year
of
senator
Tammy
Duckworth
coming
to
the
high
school
and
talking
about
how
we
can
get
these
get
these
programs
and
get
these
students
into
these
programs
to
prepare
them
for
exactly
what
you
all
are
talking
about.
L
Especially
when
you
talk
about
preparing
high
school
students
to
come
out
and
and
to
be
diverted
from
thinking.
That
college
is
the
only
way
to
go.
I
think
there's
a
huge
opportunity
to
be
able
to
partner
with
those
two
entities
and
and
the
Partnerships
that
they
have
in
order
to
be
able
to
start
start
this
training
almost
right
away.
G
Yeah
yeah,
so
I
I
have
been
to
some
meac
meetings
and
and
and
spoken
with
them,
and
yes,
their
their
intentions
are,
are
great,
they've
had
a
slow
go
of
it.
Getting
getting
real
change
affected
in
the
high
school
they've
certainly
made
some
progress
in
the
last
few
years.
I
think
that
our
support,
as
a
committee
tour
to
you
know,
and
up
to
to
city
council
support
from
from
our
recommendation,
could
go
a
long
way
to
continue
to
influence
policy
in
in
the
school
district.
G
In
order
to
continue
to
encourage
that
work
and
and
to
really
really
expand
it
and
there
there
are
hurdles
there.
There
are
a
lot.
You
know
lots
of
opinions
about
about
this.
This
discussion,
but
I
think
most
of
us
in
Evanston,
I
I,
hope
are
recognizing
the
value
and
really
the
loss
to
our
community,
of
not
having
vocational
employment
and
and
entrepreneurs
in
our
community.
G
It's
a
loss
of
people.
You
know
when
you
think
about
the
vocational
trades
and
who
coaches
our
children's
sports
teams,
who
participate
more
in
religious
organizations
who
who
help
out
at
the
schools
who
are
volunteer
more
in
our
communities
there.
It's
the
vocational
trades
that
have
the
time
and
the
hours
and
the
entrepreneurial
efforts
that
really
we,
our
communities
depend
on
for
for
greater
participation
than
many
office
jobs
allow
for
so
it.
G
It
is
a
multi-pronged
element
of
our
community
that
that
all
all
modern
communities
in
in
America
have
have
been
losing
so
I
think
it's
a
critical
piece
that
we
should
support
as
an
organization.
C
C
E
M
D
Thank
you
Tommy.
We
as
a
group
two
we
have.
The
goal
is
to
increase
local
farm
that
provide
good
and
services
for
City
need,
and
we
look
at
this
from
two
standpoint.
We
look
at
from
the
demand,
a
service
of
services
and
the
supply
of
services
and
from
victimize
the
month
side.
We
realized
that
there
is
no
clear
assessment
today
where
we,
where
the
city
can
present
to
somebody
who
want
to
know
what
kind
of
service
you
know
the
name
for
the
year,
and
that
would
be
easy
to
look
for.
D
If
you
want
to
do
a
quick
research,
we
can
go
back
and
say:
okay
for
the
last
three
years,
what
kind
of
services
every
city
you
know
have
needed,
and
how
can
we
provide
those
kind
of
services
that
provide
a
baseline
for
those
who
want
to
enter
the
sector?
And
if
we
don't
have
a
local
Farm
in
that
sector,
people
can
come
because
they
know
they
will
have
business
in
that
area.
So
from
the
demand
size
it'll
be
good.
D
If
we
can
know
what
kind
of
service
the
city
need,
that's
one
from
the
supply
side,
you
will
be
interesting
and
it
will
be
important
to
know
what
kind
of
what
kind
of
farm
we
have
local
Farm
we
have
in
in
the
City
of
Evanston
and
what
kind
of
scale
they
have.
They
have
right
now
and
at
some
point,
look
at
what
kind
of
scale
of
experience
we
all
need
to
be
competitive
of
a
city
procurement
market.
So,
looking
at
that,
we
we,
we
say.
D
The
first
important
point
you
know
is
to,
for
example,
to
to
to
create
an
assessment
to
know
the
city
need
in
terms
of
service
and
work.
That
will
be
a
quick
strategy
objective
as
part
of
this
SSI
to
know
okay,
what
kind
of
service
they
need,
what
kind
of
work
they
need,
and
if
we
know
that,
then
we
can
look
at
also
what
kind
of
business.
If
it's
possible,
we
of
farm
we
have
here
in
Evanston
and
what
kind
of
skill
they
need.
D
If,
at
some
point,
we
see
some
gap
between
the
skills
they
need
to
to
fulfill
the
city
work
and
the
skill
they
have
right
now,
we
can
create
some
training.
We
can
Target
some
people
to
get
some
training
and
then
you're
working
with
a
partner
with
a
Workforce
Development
organization,
School
Consulting,
non-profit,
to
provide
training
for
those
local
farm.
So
if
I
can
be
competitive
on
the
city
market,
but
at
the
same
time
we
can
also
host
some
open
houses
program.
D
That'll
allow
Farm
in
this
in
the
city
to
know
okay,
what
kind
of
services
the
city
need
and
if
they
don't
have
a
opportunity,
if
I
don't
have
a
skill
they
can
partner
with
bigger
Farm
outside
of
a
city
and
bring
them
in
and
work
with
them
to
to
be
able
to
be
to
be
able
to
be
competitive.
That's
briefly
what
we
have
discussed
and
leave
it
to
my
my
console
member
Harris
to
to
continue.
M
Okay,
so
we
did
talk
about
all
of
the
different
aspects
being
able
to
happen
simultaneously
that
we
target
men,
women
and
minority
business
through
a
bi-annual
meeting,
to
discuss
the
constraints
to
get
a
better
understanding
of
the
issues
and
challenges
that
they've
had
with
us
as
a
city.
What
what
not?
How
have
we
failed
them?
But
what
could
we
do
better
right,
I
believe
in
what
can
we
do
better
as
a
city
to
help
these
different
agencies
be
able
to
successfully
go
through
our
process?
M
We
also
talked
about
partnering
with
Workforce
Development
organizations,
so
that's
open,
Community,
College,
that's
Consultants,
that's
non-profit
the
Rebuilders
there's
so
many
different
agencies
out
there
that
we
need
to
be
paying
attention
to
and
getting
them
in
the
pipeline.
As
we
learned
today,
there
will
be
constraints
with
that.
M
There's
going
to
be
different
guidelines,
but
still
really
working
with
them
to
get
them
in
the
pipeline
and
help
them
excuse
me
get
the
training
that
they
may
need,
giving
them
information
to
be
able
to
successfully
filter
the
route
and
saying
these
are
the
trainings
that
we
need.
These
are
the
projects
that
are
coming
forward.
We
need
to
get
people
trained,
I
know
working
at
Oakton.
That's
something
we're
always
looking
at.
How
do
we
change
and
grow?
M
Our
Workforce
Development
covet
has
shown
all
institutions
of
Higher
Learning
that
the
four-year
process
is
not
as
desirable
anymore.
How
do
we
get
people
out
and
working
and
Oakton
is
committed
to
doing
that
so
working
with
these
institutions
that
do
have
Workforce
Development
host
open
house
programs
that
allow
different
vendors
access
to
the
procurement
process
with
questions
and
answer
sessions
again
we
have
to
level
the
playing
Ground
playing
field
and
sometimes
that's
explaining
a
little
more
giving
a
little
more
opportunity
just
to
be
in
the
know.
M
We
will
reassess
the
procurement
systems
that
might
allow
businesses
that
have
mwebe
requirements
to
have
points
towards
the
bidding
system
and
I'm
not
being
new
I
can't
speak
to
this,
but
I
know.
For
example,
if
you
go
to
be
a
police
officer,
if
you've
had
military
background,
you
get
extra
points
on
your
application,
because
you
have
some
of
this
background
information.
M
So
we
may
do
that
and
I've
just
missed
the
mark
on
that,
but
allowing
different
points
to
be
assessed
if
they
meet
those
requirements
that
would
give
level
the
field
I,
don't
think
it
gives
them
a
step
up,
I
think
in
levels
of
field
against
the
systemic
issues
that
we
know
plague
our
country
and
then
encourage
bigger
companies
to
partner
or
subcontract
with
the
smaller
mwebe
and
I'm
I'm,
just
learning
to
work
through
that
acronym
being
new.
It
just
ties
my
tongue
up,
but
working
with
bigger
agencies
and
really
encouraging.
M
If
we
see
two
different
agencies,
maybe
don't
fully
meet
the
requirements,
you
know
have
a
system
in
which
they
can
meet
or
not
meet,
but
work
together
to
help
each
organization
fulfill
the
needs
that
we
are
Desiring
to
meet
these
requirements.
So
that's
where
we
ended.
We
know
there's
much
more
work
to
do,
but
that
was
where
we
started
or
ended
our
process.
E
L
So
I
was
just
wondering:
do
we
still
have
I
know
at
one
time
we
had
a
procurement
101
that
the
city
used
to
put
on,
and
that
was
generally
to
be
able
to
work
with.
You
know,
City
procurement.
L
Is
that
something
that
we
still
do
because
I
I
haven't
seen
anything
about
that
in
the
last
couple
of
years,
and
if
not,
why
not?
What?
What
are
the?
What
are
the
factors
that
took
that
out
of
the
pipeline,
because
I
thought
that
at
one
time
that
that
was
something
that
that
was
very
helpful
and
if
we,
if
we
don't,
you
know,
could
we
could
we
still?
L
Could
we
put
something
like
that
on
and
then,
as
councilmember
Harris
was
saying,
invite
some
of
those
larger
corporations
to
be
able
to
also
participate
in
that
and
to
help
out
with
that
and
follow
through
with
that
I
know.
Northwestern
was
doing
something
like
that
at
the
same
time,
or
at
one
time
they
were
as
well
because
they
have,
as
you
all
know,
quite
a
bit
of
of
knowledge
and
background
on
How
to
Train
people
to
be
in
their
procurement
price
process
and
on
their
list
of
vendors.
L
So
I
think
that
that
would
be
one
way
that
we
could
definitely
help
out
with
that.
But
but
again
I
would
need
to
know
the
answer
to
if
we
still
do
that
and
if
we
do
I'm
sorry
that
I'm
bringing
up
something
that
we're
already
doing,
but
it
obviously
needs
to
be
something
that
is
a
little
more.
L
Around
that
and
the
follow-through
with
that
would
be
something
that
that
I
think
we
would
want
to
make
sure
that
we
Monitor
and
and
that
we're
able
to
to
Really,
follow
through
on
and
make
sure
that
people
are
able
to
go
through
this
process
and
come
out
on
the
other
end.
In
the
way
that
we're
talking
about.
B
E
The
committee
wanted
to
revamp
how
we
did
procurement
101
and
we
were
meeting
with
those
local
other
local
businesses
hire
bigger
local
business
as
well,
and
it
was
even
more
of
the
tip
districts
and
all
of
those
Community
Partners.
We
were
trying
to
be
inclusive
of
all
of
them
and
just
re-do
the
type
of
program
we
put
on
and
how
it
would
look.
So
we
were
really
prior
to
cobit
trying
to
revamp
the
whole
process
once
Kobe
hit.
E
It
was
put
on
the
Shelf
people
started,
opening
back
up
and
we
decided
to
you
know,
still
hold
off.
There
was
discussion
if
we
were
going
to
do
something
virtually
and
that
kind
of
you
know
it
just
didn't
work
at
that
time.
So
we
have
an
address
procurement,
101
for
2023
or
moving
forward.
M
Okay,
so
then
we
weren't
way
off
and
I
I
appreciate
that
question
Jared,
because
I
felt
like
there
was
something
we
didn't,
we
weren't
sure,
so,
whatever
we
can
do
as
a
committee
I
think
we
should
be
supportive
of
that,
helping
that
get
back
on
the
books,
even
in
its
un
redefine
fashion,
because
you
can
redefine
as
you're
rolling
we.
You
know,
we
don't
have
to
rebuild
the
whole
plane
to
fly
it
if
it
flew.
Now
we
just
tighten
the
bolts.
M
L
And
and
I'm
and
I'm
wondering
also
are
there
ways
that
we
can
get
creative
with
this?
You
know,
for
instance,
with
with
the
developers
that
we
have
that
come
in
and
and
for
instance,
in
the
construction
field,
more
in
the
development
field.
You.
L
That
kind
of
thing
is
this:
something
that
we
could
be
creative
with
with
those
developers
and
say:
hey
we'd,
like
you
to
also
provide
a
component
where
we'd
like
you
to
help
train
some
of
our
Workforce,
that
that
may
not
be
ready
to
work
on
your
project,
but
we
we
would
like
you
to
to
provide
a
component
at
some
point
that
you
can
train
our
Workforce
so
that
they
can
work
on
future
projects.
L
I
mean
we
know
that
we
have
projects
coming
up,
whether
it's
something
that's
actually
in
the
works
like
a
Northwestern
or
not.
We
know
that
they're
coming
up
and
we
know
that
development
will
always
happen.
We
know
that
the
other
things
that
we
have
procurement
for
is
going
to
continue
to
happen
if
we're
going
to
continue
to
thrive
and
be
and
and
develop
economically.
Is
that
something
that
we
can
be
creative
and
try
to
work
into
the
Partnerships
with
these
developers?
L
Obviously
we
can't
make
them
do
it.
We
can't
require
them
to,
but
I
was
just
wondering
like
I
said,
if
there's
a
creative
way
that
we
might
be
able
to
work
that
into
the
deal
with
some
of
them.
G
As
one
of
them
on
with
my
other
hat
on
yeah
we've,
we
tried
to
do
that
on
truly
when,
when
we
were
building
truly
and
it's
very,
very
difficult,
we
ended
up
partnering
with
Aina
in
the
warehouse
in
order
to
to
start
to
try
and
do
that
as
well
as
three
six
360
from
Chicago
r360
from
Chicago,
which
is
specifically
tasked
with
local
employment.
G
Because
of
the
way
the
unions
work
and
the
way
the
contractors
employ
and
the
contracts
that
they
sign
with
the
unions,
bringing
like
aina's
issue
with
bidding
the
municipal
work,
bringing
non-union
employees
onto
a
union
job
is
is
basically
forbidden
because
the
puts
the
contractors
in
violation
of
their
of
their
contract
with
the
unions.
G
We
pushed
against
that
and
there's
apprenticeship
programs
and
things
like
that
to
help,
and
we
were
able
to
get
a
couple
people
into
an
apprenticeship
program.
Why?
While
we
were
doing
that
and
then
ultimately
get
them
on
our
job
through
after
the
apprenticeship
program,
there's
a
lot
of
work,
background,
work
and
and
foundation
work
to
get
there.
What
we
are
missing
and
and
I've
been
a
proponent
of
this-
is
that
our
public
benefit
process
in
the
planned
development
process.
You
know
within
the
development
world
is,
is
kind
of
meager
right.
G
We
have
one
fund
that
you
can
contribute
to
which
is
affordable
housing.
There
isn't
the
workforce
housing
there
isn't
a
Workforce
Development
Fund
that
developers
can
contribute
to,
in
addition
to
Workforce,
housing
or
or
or
or
you
know,
as
their
choice
versus
the
workforce,
housing
into
Workforce,
Development
and
so
on.
So
there's
a
lot.
I
mean
you're
right,
there's
a
lot
that
the
development
world,
the
resources
the
development
world
can
and
should
be
bringing
to
their
presence
in
our
city.
G
G
So
it
is
a
process
that
I've
been
working
on
and
that
it's
absolutely
why
aldermen
Braithwaite
at
the
time
asked
me
to
be
on
this
committee
was
because
I
was
saying:
aldermen
I
can't
accomplish
this.
You
know
that
there's
no
system
in
place
for
me
to
do
this
so
I
think
we've
been
building
that
in
Evanston
I
think
the
city
has
put
some
money
behind
it.
Programs
like
the
warehouse,
but
we
have
a
lot
a
long
way
to
go,
and
we
need
to
change
some
things.
G
I
think
within
the
city,
to
allow
the
development
world
to
embrace
Workforce
Development,
as
opposed
to
being
funneled
directly
into
lead
certification
for
our
sustainable
goals
and
an
affordable
housing,
both
of
which
are
incredibly
important.
But
Workforce
Development
has
never
been
on
the
table
for
a
planned
development,
public
benefit
and
it's
something
that
I
I'm,
a
proponent
of
and
I
certainly
would
put
the
council
members
to
consider
and
this
committee
to
continue
to
discuss
because
I
Jared
you're
right
I
mean
they
bringing
those
resources
to
the
table.
It's
available.
C
All
right,
thank
you.
Ernest
yeah,.
I
Just
real
quick
are
you:
are
you
speaking
Jared?
Are
you
speaking
in
reference
to
laborman,
more
or
less
or
subcontractors
being
trained
I.
L
Mean
I'm
speaking
and
really
in
totality
of
it,
especially
when
we
go
back
to
the
item
about
the
demolition
versus
deconstruction
and
I
mean
we
have.
You
know
we
have
laborers.
Obviously
what
we
also
have
companies
in
town
that
that
specialize
in
demolition
but
as
as
Council
Johnson
has
mentioned,
you
know
there.
L
There
are
certain
guidelines
that
won't
allow
for
certain
projects
for
it
to
be
just
demolition,
it
might
have
to
be
deconstruction
which
they
might
not
be
licensed
for
and-
and
there
are
other
barriers
so
in
order
to
be
able
to
help
existing
and
new
prospects
and
being
able
to
do
that
so
I'm
speaking
in
totality,
not
just
laborers
or
not
just
existing
businesses,
but
you
know
how
we
can
create
a
program
similar
to
to
what
Michael's
saying
that
he's.
L
You
know
he's
already
tried
to
do
and
he's
already
you
know
kind
of-
has
on
the
table
to
try
and
further
that
and
to
help
get
over
some
of
those
barriers.
I
know,
unions
are
not
something
that
are
very
easy
to
to
to
get
around
or
and
I'm
not
suggesting
that
we
get
around
it.
But,
as
I
said,
I
mean
these.
L
These
are
questions
for
people
that
have
a
lot
more
knowledge
in
this
area
than
I
do,
and
so
that's
why
I'm
asking
the
question
about
how
we
might
be
able
to
be
creative
as
a
city
and
as
a
municipality
in
asking
and
maybe
not
requiring
some
of
these
developers
or
some
of
the
entities
that
that
have
the
wherewithal
and
have
the
money
to
be
able
to.
L
Actually,
you
know
fund
this
and
to
actually
have
the
the
they
have
the
workforce
themselves
to
be
able
to
try
and
help
to
further
this,
because
it
is
so
important
so
yeah
that
that's
what
I'm
speaking
to
I
don't
does
that
answer
your
question.
Yeah.
I
Yeah
I
was
thinking.
Do
you
think
it
would
be
to
our
advantage
possibly
have
someone
from
the
SBA
who's
involved
in
the
8A
7j
program,
joint
teachers,
because
they're
working
they
work
with
these
large
companies
that
may
be
involved
in
a
mentor
Protege
program
that
are
involved
with
unions,
so
they
they
have
a
they
have
a
program
in
place.
It's
just
that.
Maybe
we
just
need
to
tap
into
it
at
one
point.
L
Yeah
I
I
think
that
would
it
would
be
very
helpful
because
I
know
just
from
my
business
alone
years
ago
that
8A
certification
is
very
stringent
and
very
strict
is
a
huge
amount
of
compliance
to
go
along
with
that
right,
so
yeah
I
think
it
would
definitely
be
very
advantageous
for
us
to
have
someone
from
SBA
and
all
of
the
entities
that
we
deal
with.
L
You
know
when
thinking
about
this,
to
be
able
to
contribute
to
this
and
really
put
a
push
behind
it
from
a
municipality
standpoint,
obviously
not
just
our
our
subcommittee
of
the
city
council
right.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
good
question.
All.
B
Was
going
to
say
that
unless
there's
anything
else
just
to
kind
of
wrap
up
this
agenda
item
as
we
move
forward
with
the
work
plan
again
between
now
and.
B
Meeting
I'm
gonna
take
a
look
I'm
going
to
add
all
of
the
feedback
that
we've
gotten
it
and
again.
Thank
you
to
and
I
really
really
mean
this.
Thank
you
to
everybody
that
has
participated
in
this.
Obviously,
this
is
there's
a
somewhat
of
a
new
exercise
that
we're
trying
out
and
it
really
it
really
won't
work
unless
all
of
us
can
find
the
time
outside
of
these
meetings
the
whole
Gap
kind
of
working
group
meetings
to
advance.
B
You
know
some
of
our
efforts
and
everybody
kind
of
stepped
up
and
did
that
and
I
really,
you
know,
commend
everybody
for
doing
that,
because
that's
what
it's
going
to
take
and
we
can
there's
really
nothing.
We
can't
do.
I
was,
as
everybody
was
talking.
One
of
the
things
I
was
thinking
about
is
like
look
this.
This
canvas
is
as
blank
as
we
want
it
to
be,
and
so
you
know
as
councilman
my
hair
said.
Yes,
we
could.
B
We
could
start
off
with
you
know,
with
with
the
existing
101
program
and
add
to
it.
We
can
start
something
from
scratch,
whether
it's
for
the
101
program
or
anything
else
like
I.
Think
the
the
power
of
the
work
plan
is
to
really
identify
what
our
priorities
are
like
for
this
year
and-
and
you
know,
certainly
to
look
back
to
see
what
we
can
move
along
with
us,
but
also
just
to
use
it
as
an
opportunity
to
look
ahead
we're
in
2023.
Now
a
lot
has
changed.
B
Some
of
some
things
have
stayed
the
same,
but
like
what
do
we
want
to
prioritize
and
work
on
this
year
and
and
so
between
meetings,
I'm
going
to
take
a
look
at
I'll?
Add
everything
to
the
work
plan,
I'm
going
to
see
where
there's
overlap
and
and
I'll
mention
that
in
the
work
work
plan
that
I
send
out
to
everybody
individually,
I'll
kind
of
leave
some
comments,
and
let
folks
know
where
some
of
the
objectives
and
strategies
overlap.
B
So
we're
all
aware
of
those
and
then
but
also
I
love
for
the
groups
to
just
think
about
what
are
some
of
the
next
steps
you
would
would
take
as
a
working
group
in
any
of
these
areas.
Do
you
do
you
think
that,
realistically,
the
worker
group
has
the
bandwidth
to
address
all
of
those
different
objectives
and
strategies
in
one
year
or
do
you
want
to?
B
Are
there
some
priorities
that
you
think
you
really
want
the
working
group
to
focus
on
for
this
year
and
then
also
what
are
some
things
that
this
committee
can
take
on
as
a
whole?
As
an
example,
I
think,
an
event
is
is
really
important
that
we
get.
You
know
that
we
get
back
to
to
doing
some
type
of
an
event
whether
it's
the
procurement,
101
or
some
or
even
more
than
that
I
mean
I,
think
we're
up
to
seventy
thousand.
B
We
heard
earlier
we're
up
to
seventy
thousand
dollars
that
we
could
use
to
advance
our
goals
and
that
could
be
towards
events
and
a
website
or
whatever
we
need,
but
I
think
some
of
the
some
of
what
this
committee
can
take
on
the
whole.
What
comes
to
mind
is
the
website
potentially
developing
a
website
or
a
landing
page?
What
comes
to
mind
is
hosting
an
event
or
several
events.
B
Events,
what
comes
to
mind
is
is
developing
some
type
of
survey
or
a
mechanism
where
we
can
get
collect
input
on
how
nweb
businesses
and
vendors
need
support
in
the
community.
So
those
are
just
some
thoughts.
B
I'll
send
a
follow-up
I
work
with
Tammy
to
send
a
follow-up
email
again
in
between
meetings
just
to
direct
our
next
steps,
but
again
I
just
want
to
commend
everybody
for
for
participating
and
and
and
and
and
and
committing
to
this
process
and
and
we'll
get
some
stuff
done
this
year.
Oh.
C
L
M
H
C
For
the
council
members
we're
used
to
this,
and
more
so
and
I
think
staff
in
many
cases
are
too
so.
Thank
you
for
the
question.
Thank
you.
Everyone
as
well,
you
know
well
wishes
to
councilmember
Burns
and
his
family
and
I
think
we
will
I
think
we
can
wrap
up
I'm.
Sorry.
E
Yes,
council,
member
Reid,
there
is
one
more
item
that
we
need
to
just
address
real
quickly,
just
so
that
we
can
advance
to
Council
it's
the
ordinance
change
for.
Let
me
bring
that
back
up.
It
went
to
the
referral
committee
to
add
the
dbe
certification
to
the
ordinance.
M
C
E
L
C
I
moved
by
councilmember
Harris
seconded
by
second
Jared
Davis,
so
this
is
to
move
this
forward
to
council.
That's
amending
city
code
1-17-1
to
disadvantage
business
Enterprise
to
the
code.
We
will
do
a
roll
call
and
I
will
call
the
roll.
If
you
don't
mind,
Tammy
council,
member
Burns,
all
right
member
noi,
aye
member
Davis.
L
H
H
C
And
member
McLean
aye
I,
believe
I
hit.
Everyone
here
is
John
Gonzalez
on
the
committee.
M
C
No,
the
chairs,
there's
no
further
business
before
us.
The
chair
can
just
say
this
for
the
business
and
the
meeting
is
adjourned.
Thank.
