A
A
A
D
My
name
is
betty
esther
and
I
stay
at
2031
church
street.
I
reviewed
the
police
crime
report
and
everything
interesting.
There
is
some
dates
on
it
that
need
to
be
corrected,
one
that
says
12
19
2012.
D
The
first
date
need
to
be
corrected
because
december
12
december
19
2012,
haven't
got
here
yet
unless
I'm
missing
something
the
other
one
is
in
reference
to
di1133,
and
I
read
it
and
looked
at
the
application
that
people
fill
out
in
sign.
D
D
I
was
involved
in
the
second
committee
being
formed
and
where
we
had
set
out
certain
standards
and
things
that
we
hoped
would
be
put
in
place,
and
we
are
the
group
that
kind
of
evolved
out
of
that
called
the
citizen.
Network
of
protection
is
still
working
on
and
that
is
to
have
an
independent
police
review
on
page
11
of
that
report,
and
it
states-
and
this
is
a
summary
I
guess-
from
whoever
writes
up
the
summary
and
from
my
understanding
is
the
executive
secretary.
D
And
here
it
says
that
was
saying
the
police
was
abusing
his
power.
That
statement
was
never
made
by
me,
not
in
writing
or
verbal.
Never,
they
said
the
police
abused
his
power
just
more
or
less
talked
about
how
he
did
his
search,
and
it
was
quite
graphic
when
I
told
the
sergeant
and
showed
her
what
he
did
and
everything
when
you
know
he
did
not
rub
or
pat
him
down.
D
There
should
be
an
independent
police
review
board
because
then
things
like
this
would
not
happen,
and
while
on
the
subject-
and
I
was
kind
of
confused-
was
thought
that
two
questions
I
need
to
give
to
you,
so
you
can
pass
on
to
the
board
of
trustees
when
y'all
have
your
meeting,
because
you
asked
for
questions
at
the
last
council
meeting
one
who,
what
funds
are
paying
for
the
audit,
are
they
coming
out
of
towns
fund?
Are
the
city
general
says
general
revenue
fund
and
two?
D
E
D
Sorry,
it
was
in
that
you
know
the
long
list
of
report
where
they
give
you
first
the
crs
and
then
the
diodes,
and
then
they
give
you
the
date
of
the
incident
right
and.
E
D
The
date
that
the
dis,
the
investigation,
was.
C
A
Police
complaints
before
we
move
on
to
the
next
discussion
item.
Thank
you.
The
next
item
is
h2
for
discussion
policy
criteria
for
naming
public
places
and
designating
honoree
street
named
signs.
I
believe
we've
got
a
presentation
or
a
little
discussion
by
judy
fisk
alderman
fisk.
F
Groups
asking
for
honorary
place,
name
signs
and
when
I
talked
to
staff
and
also
looked
at
the
application
form
with
the
instructions,
it
says.
The
purpose
of
the
program,
the
honorary
street
name
sign
program,
allows
citizens
the
opportunity
to
honor
people
who
have
made
significant
contributions
to
the
city.
The
program
is
administered
by
the
city's
advisory
committee
on
public
place
names
through
the
department
of
parks,
recreation
and
community
services.
Street
names
will
be
displayed
for
a
period
of
10
years,
no
more
than
one
designation
may
be
awarded
in
each
ward
per
year.
F
E
F
And
so
all
of
this
is
fine
with
me,
but
I
have
just
to
let
you
all
know.
I've
had
a
request
from
two
organizations
who
were
asking
for
signs
and
I
have
told
them
both:
no
because
it
doesn't
fit
the
criteria.
So
I
I
wanted
to
bring
this
to
the
committee
to
ask
just
for
discussion
to
find
out
whether
this
was
something
that
we
needed
to
to
review.
A
I
have
one
question
regarding
cost
for
implementing
another
honorary
name:
naming's
program
would
do
you
have
any
idea
what
it
cost
for
a
particular
installation
in
terms
of
staff
time-
and
I
understand
we'd-
be
limiting
these
to
maybe
10
a
year
or
90
years.
I
think
that
one
per
hour
each
alderman,
having
one
I
mean-
that's,
not
a
huge
number,
but
that
was
the
first
thing
that
came
to
mind
as
far
as
just
wanting
to
know
a
little
more
about
the
program.
E
However,
I
think
that
there
has
to
be
some
guidelines
for
that
and
the
reason
why
is
because
I've
been
asked
in
my
ward
and
of
course
I
said
no,
because
I
learned
very
early
that
it
was
for
people
and
live
people
at
that.
I
think
that
if
an
institution
over-
and
I
hate
to
put
a
number
on
it,
but
I'm
gonna
just
start
out
with
saying
50
years
or
something
like
that.
E
I
think
that
that
to
me
you
know,
warrants
you
know
some
kind
of
recognition,
but
I
just
don't
think
that
we
should
just
do
it,
because
it's
an
institution,
I
really
don't,
and
so
I
would
support
it
as
long
as
we
had
some
reasonable
guidelines-
and
you
know
in
terms
of
saying
maybe
it's
maybe
it's
their
100th
anniversary
or
50th
anniversary
or
whatever
something
like
that.
I
could
see.
E
F
Yeah-
and
I
guess
I'm
I'm
okay
leaving
it
as
as
it
is
as
long
as
we
have
other
ways
of
honoring,
you
know
institutions
or
not-for-profits,
and
you
know
maybe
banners
or
or
an
a
historic
plaque
or
something
like
that,
but
I
in
the
downtown,
especially
we
have
a
number
of
you-
know,
organizations
that
have
been
here
a
lot
much
longer
than
that
and
since
it's
a
block
long,
a
number
of
these
are
on
the
same
block
and
they're
for
10
years.
So
you're
telling
someone.
F
Oh
okay,
you
can't
do
this
for
another
decade,
and
so
I'm
I
the
more.
I
thought
about
it,
the
more
problems
I
saw
with
it
and
I'm
I'm
wondering
if
we
need
to
think
more
broadly
about
what
opportunity
there
there
are.
There
is
for
groups,
I'm
and
as
I'm
thinking
back
on
it,
I
I
think,
wasn't
the
first
one
for
jack
korshak.
I
mean
very
former.
F
G
As
a
point
of
information,
the
resolution
in
the
ordinance,
its
citizens
advisory
committee
on
public
place
and
name
so
it's
public.
So
if
we
went
to
private
institutions
we
would
probably
have
to,
I
would
suggest.
Maybe
the
law
department
would
want
to
create
a
new
ordinance.
That
would
have
the
criteria
that
I
think
you're
talking
about.
If
you
wanted
to
move
forward,
which
would
be
more
private.
G
So
if
it
was
a
company
that
had
been
here
so
that
it
you're
differentiating,
because
this
is
for
public
places,
so
this
could
be
like
a
park
if
it
wasn't
already
named
or
the
streets
and
those
are
honorary,
as
you
pointed
out,
alderman
fisk
and
the
ordinance
calls
for
it
for
10
years.
E
E
E
E
I
mean
if
you
come
up
with
something
else.
I
certainly
you
know,
could
support
that
as
well,
but
I'm
just
thinking
that
in
the
downtown
area,
I
think
people
would
enjoy
as
you
walk
around
and
you
could
see
you
know
a
contribution
from
a
a
the
lake
street
baptist
church,
which
was
the
first
I
I
forgot
how
old
it
is,
but
it's
a
long
time
or
our
second
baptist,
which
is,
I
know
where
you
one
of
the
requests
came
from.
You
know
those
churches
have
been
there
for
hun.
E
You
know
100
years
or
more,
so
I
can
understand
that
people
would
enjoy
seeing
you
know
whether
it's
I'm
not
so
sure
about
the
banners
anymore,
but
you
know
some
kind
of
historic
plaque
or
you
know
a
street
sign
and
if
it
was
a
historic
plaque
there
wouldn't
have
to
be
a
time
limit
on
it.
Maybe
that
could
just
be
put
on
the
building.
Well,
there's.
F
A
historic
plaque
on
who's
drug
store,
which
is
really
cool
because
I
mean
a
lot
of
people,
don't
remember
who's
drug
store.
I
do
and
my
mom
worked
there
in
high
school
and
you
know-
and
I
think
that's
really
kind
of
neat,
because
it
it
is
a
permanent
reminder,
as
you
said,
and
not
just
for
10
years,
and
there
there
are
places
in
in
the
downtown
where
you
do
have.
You
know
competing.
F
So
maybe
if
we
did
an
organizational
like
for
a
non-profit
or
a
church
for
maybe
five
years
so
that
another
another
organization
could
come
in.
I,
especially
in
in
the
downtown
area.
F
E
Dewey,
if
I'm
not
mistaken,
foster
and
dewey
there's
one
side
goes
for
bishop
moody
in
faith,
faith
temple.
The
other
side
goes
for
full
price,
so
there's
ways
that
you
can
do
it,
so
you
don't
have
to
wait
for
10
years
to
give
it
to
someone
else.
You
know
because
I
mean
the
black
can
go.
You
know
two
different
ways
or
three
different
ways,
so
I
mean
there's
a
way
to
do
that.
Isn't
it
doug
guy.
I
remember
yeah.
B
Thank
you,
mr
chair
discussions,
kind
of
reminding
me
of
a
couple
of
previous
discussions.
We've
had
and
we're
talking
about,
including
artificial
entities
in
our
street
sign
honoring
program,
similar
to
the
resolution
about
the
citizens.
United.
You
know.
H
B
Artificial
entities
should
have
a
right
under
the
first
amendment,
but
I'm
sure
that
our
whatever
banner
the
sign
policy
honorary
street
sign
policy
will
try
to
find
a
balance
between
avoiding
excessive
sign
pollution,
and
I
think
that's
what
the
regulation
is
not
crossing
the
line
into
advertising
and
at
what
point
do
we
are
we
advertising
non-profit
institutions
and
and
what
point
are
we
honoring
them
and
then
obviously
honoring
those
local
living
of
estonians
and
some
institutions?
But
frankly,
some
of
those
signs
will
stay
up
much
longer
than
fire.
A
G
F
No,
I
I
know
I
I
really
wanted
to
have
a
discussion
to
find
out
what
you
know.
Other
committee
members
really
felt
about
this
and
whether
you're
having
the
same
experience
I'm
having
and
whether
you
think
there
ought
to
be
a
change
or
whether
this
is
something
that's
specific
to
my
ward
and
I'll.
Just
go
on
dealing
with
it
literally.
A
If
I
could
say
something
before
owning
homes,
I
do
agree
with
alderman
holmes
that
there
has
to
be
a
very
selective
criteria
for
doing
this,
to
make
a
very
special
thing,
and
I
I
think,
to
that
extent
I
could
support
it.
Otherwise,
I
think
there
would
just
be
too
many
competing
organizations
for
a
very
small
amount
of
recognition
that
we're
going
to
plan
to
offer.
So
I
do
think
it's
as
the
emerson
y
was
a
significant
125th
anniversary
to
honor.
That
was
very
important,
so
there
is
somewhat
of
precedent.
There
aldrin
holmes.
E
E
F
F
F
Mother
yeah
mather,
lifeways
nonprofit.
F
A
Anyone
else,
thank
you.
I
think
this
is
this
is
just
for
discussion.
We
can
continue
it
if
we
like,
I,
it
did
raise
a
lot
of
questions
and
I
think,
there's
certainly
another
direction.
It
sounds
like
we
might
be
even
more
interested
in
pursuing,
so
hopefully
we
can
bring
this
back
and,
in
the
meantime,
sort
of
flush
out
the
idea
of
a
permanent
plaque
for
different
organizations
that
reach
a
milestone
birthday.
F
A
Next,
we
have
items
for
consideration,
I'd
quickly
like
to
talk
about
the
township
bills,
but
then,
since
we
have
so
many
people
here
to
speak
tonight,
about
noise,
cultural
arts
center,
maybe
move
that
up
to
the
second
position,
and
I
know
that
one
person
has
a
presentation
as
well.
So
is
there
a
motion
to
approve
the
township
of
evanson
may
2012
monthly
bills.
I
To
the
chair,
I
do
have
a
question
and
I
think
one
of
the
speakers
did
ask
the
question
about
the
audit
and
I
do
remember
the
vote,
but
I
don't
remember
who
was
supposed
to
pay
for
that
was
that
supposed
to
come
from
the
township's
budget
or
the
city's
budget?
I
think
that
was
the
question
that
she
asked
right.
A
I
don't
know
that
was
the
only
township
speaker
but
okay,
assessor
wilson,.
J
J
We
have
issued
over
and
will
return
over
twenty
four
thousand
dollars
to
our
taxpayers
that
have
come
in
for
certificate
of
errors
and
one
taxpayer
is
receiving
over
sixteen
thousand
dollars
for
from
2007
through
2010
for
the
long
time
occupancy
exemption
that
they
did
not
receive.
So
I
think
for
working
hard
for
our
taxpayers
and
trying
to
save
the
money.
I
just
wanted
to
make
that
point.
Thank
you.
I
K
Mr
chair
members
of
the
committee,
I
think
there
was
a
question
regarding
the
township
board's
action
a
week
or
so
ago.
Regarding
an
audit,
my
understanding
of
the
township's
board
direction
to
me
was
to
move
forward
with
a
request
for
proposals
on
an
audit.
There
was
no
specific
dollar
amount
mentioned.
K
My
plan
would
be
to
come
back
to
the
township
board
with
those
proposals
and
dollar
amounts
when
it's
available
we're
hoping
to
have
the
rfp
done
over
the
course
of
the
month
of
june,
so
hopefully
have
it
out
the
first
of
july,
we'll
be
in
touch,
mr
spankowski.
If
my
staff
is
going
to
take
the
lead,
we'll
be
in
touch
with
the
assessor
and
the
township
supervisor
to
work
together
on
that,
rfp,
hopefully,
then
have
back
to
the
the
township
board
before
the
august
recess
with
proposals.
K
A
A
L
Hello,
everybody
I'm
glad
that
that
you're
all
here
and
my
name-
is
faye
kaiser
and
I'm
a
tenant
at
the
noise
cultural
arts
center,
and
I
have
studio
218,
which
is
called
the
voice
studio.
L
And
I'm
so
glad
that
I'm
here
and
members
of
the
tennis
association
newly
formed
yesterday
we're
very
happy
we're.
Here.
L
I
want
to
thank
first
of
all
wally
and
doug
for
working
to
promote
the
arts
in
evanston,
and
I
especially
want
to
thank
wally
for
helping
us
form
a
tenant's
board
which
gives
us
the
power
to
work
with
the
pivot
theater
and
the
city
invoicing.
Our
concerns
for
the
needs
both
for
the
success
of
all
of
the
artists
at
the
building
and
embracing
the
pivots
desire
for
expansion,
which
leslie
will
will
let
you
know
tomorrow,
will
be
our
first
meeting
with
leslie
and
she
has
to
answer
to
a
board.
L
L
L
A
N
A
K
Thank
you
if
I
could
just
make
a
brief
staff
report
on
the
item.
That's
before
you
and
then
I
think
it
would
be
appropriate
for
ms
brown
to
make
a
presentation,
because
I
think
there's
a
certain
amount
of
context.
Certainly
to
to
these
discussions.
K
Mr
chair
members
of
the
committee
good
evening,
you
have
before
your
resolution
39
r12,
which
would
authorize
the
city
manager
implement
proposed
changes
to
the
noise
cultural
arts
center
tenant
lease
conditions,
as
of
january
1st,
2013,
addressing
funding
of
future
capital
projects
and
recognition
of
the
noise
tenants
association.
K
But
changes
need
to
be
made,
and
I
came
to
you
last
summer
with
a
plan
to
meet
with
the
tenants
at
the
noise
cultural
arts
center
to
come
up
with
a
plan
for
sustainability
to
take
the
money
that
was
raised
there
and
make
sure
that
it
gets
reinvested
in
the
long
term
for
the
capital
needs
of
the
building,
but
also
to
make
sure
that
the
vibrancy
of
the
good
work.
That's
that's
going
on.
There
today
continues
in
the
course
of
of
those
discussions.
K
The
the
pivot
theater
workshop
approached
me
and
said
that
they
were
prepared
to
make
a
substantial
commitment
of
anywhere
between
two
and
a
half
and
three
million
dollars
to
invest
in
the
facility.
So
the
discussion
that
I
was
having
with
the
tenants
we
were
so
very
focused
on
taking
rent
in
and
making
sure
that
capital
improvements
can
be
made
with
that
was
altered
slightly
because
here
we
had
a
main
tenant
of
the
building
move
forward
and
say
that
they
wanted
to
make
a
long-term
financial
commitment
to
evanston
to
the
noise
cultural
arts
center.
K
So
that
kind
of
changed
the
discussion
and
rather
than
it
being
focused
totally
on
the
amount
of
rent
coming
in
to
balance
the
capital
needs.
Here
we
have
someone
who
an
organization
like
the
pivot
theater
workshop
to
step
forward
and
say
they
would
be
willing
to
make
a
substantial
capital
contribution
and
that
really
changed.
The
discussion
and
many
of
the
tenants
are
here
this
evening.
K
Make
sure
they
are
open
discussions
and
I
think
now,
with
the
attendance
association
in
place
that
will
occur
so
with
all
this.
I
decided
to
come
to
you
with
a
resolution
which
is
to
bring
this
to
the
the
force
of
law,
rather
than
just
amended
order,
or
my
word
as
to
how
this
would
move
forward.
So
the
resolution
39r12
deals
with
a
number
of
things.
First,
it
deals
with
changes
to
tenant
lease
conditions
that
will
allow
for
multiple
year
leases
for
any
of
the
tenants
at
the
noise
center.
K
It's
traditionally
been
a
series
of
one-year
leases
that
could
be
as
many
as
three
years,
but
they
were
always
renewable
one
year
after
another.
This
will
allow
for
extended
leases.
It
will
allow
for
tenants
to
so
to
continue
to
submit
reports
certifying
their
tenancy.
I
think
there
was
a
concern
among
many
of
the
tenants
that
was
all
the
space
being
used
as
actively
as
it
could
be
so
now
there'll
be
an
opportunity
to
have
those
reports
more
regularly
submitted.
K
Tenants
will
also
now
be
able
to
sublease
their
space.
That's
also
been
a
point
in
contention
that
has
come
out
through
our
year
of
discussion
and
then
finally,
a
declaration
at
this
point
halfway
into
the
fiscal
year
that
we
would
look
for
a
rent
increase
in
2013
and
the
tenants
association
would
be
involved
with
any
future
rent
adjustments.
Then
there
is
the
piece
dealing
with
capital,
despite
the
generous
commitment
that
the
pivot
theater
workshop
has
been
working
with
the
city
to
make
over
an
extended
period
of
time.
K
Over
the
last
year,
I
think
we've
been
able
to
I've
been
able
to
work
with
a
group
of
artists
who
have
not
always
had
a
regular
communication
about
their
needs
about
the
things
that
are
going
on
in
the
center
and
clearly,
as
I
think,
you've
already
heard
this
evening
and
we'll
likely
hear
more
this
evening.
The
tenants
are
very
engaged
in
the
future
of
the
the
noise
cultural
arts
center.
K
There's
a
great
concern
that
that
center
continue
to
move
forward,
but
also
maintain
you
know
many
of
the
things
that
have
made
it
very
special,
the
mix
of
of
artists
and
things,
and
that
discussion
continues
as
to
the
impact
of
the
pivot
theater
workshop.
They
will
be
taking
additional
space
in
the
building.
K
I
think
we'll
be
able
to
continue
to
work
with
the
tenants
association
over
the
course
of
the
next
several
months
to
ensure
that
if
there
are
displaced
tenants,
which
there
will
be
that
they
can
be
relocated
in
the
building
in
a
manner
that
makes
sense
and
the
discussions
with
the
pivot
theatre
workshop
certainly
have
indicated
that
there
are
are
great
possibilities
to
do
that.
But
it's
the
issue
of
partnership.
K
It's
the
issue
of
making
sure
that
the
noise
cultural
arts
center
really
remains
and
and
is
really
looked
to,
not
only
in
evanston
but
throughout
chicagoland,
as
as
a
major
destination
point
for
the
arts,
not
just
for
the
performing
arts,
but
for
the
visual
arts.
K
All
the
arts
that
are
currently
represented
there
to
continue
to
have
that
that
value-
and
I
think
the
energy
and
effort
that
has
been
moved
forward
over
the
last
year,
really
puts
the
building
in
a
different
place
and
I
think,
puts
it
on
a
path
to
really
ensure
that
it's
going
to
be
there
to
serve
all
of
evanston
for
a
very
long
time.
So,
mr
chair
members
of
the
committee,
that's
the
resolution
before
you.
K
A
key
component
of
these
discussions
have
been
discussions
with
the
pivot
theater
workshop
and
leslie
brown
as
executive
directors
here,
and
I
asked
leslie
if
she
wouldn't
mind
sharing
with
the
committee
some
of
the
the
work
that
they
have
done,
working
with
city
staff
and
working
with
this
tenants
association,
which
has
been
sort
of
an
organization
I've
met,
I
think,
probably
six
times
over
the
course
of
the
year
with
the
group
of
tenants,
as
we've
been
moving
toward
the
tenants
association,
we
continue
to
talk
with
them.
K
We'll
continue
to
talk
now
that
they're
there,
but
I
think
it's
important
that
you
and
members
of
the
community
see
the
vision
that
the
pivot
organization
has
so
leslie
is
here
to
share
that
with
you
and
mr
chair.
If
it
would
be
appropriate
to
answer
questions
either
at
that
point
or
after
other
citizen
speakers,
I'd
be
happy
to
do
that.
O
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
and
members
of
the
committee
for
giving
me
this
opportunity
to
update
you
on
the
progress
being
made
at
the
noise
cultural
arts
center
and
with
pivon
theater
workshop.
My
name
is
leslie
brown
and
I
have
had
the
privilege
of
being
the
executive
director
at
pivon
theater
workshop
for
the
last
year
and
a
half.
We
at
piven
greatly
value
this
developing
partnership
with
the
city
of
evanston
and
are
looking
forward
to
being
a
part
of
positive
growth
and
change
in
the
arts
community.
In
this
town
we
have
called
home
for
41
years.
O
During
that
time,
we
conducted
a
feasibility
study
to
determine
which
direction
and
in
which
geographical
location
we
should
create
a
new
home
for
the
pivon
theater
workshop.
During
that
time,
our
board
members
met
with
mayor
daley,
who
wanted
to
pave
the
way
for
our
organization
to
move
to
chicago
and
set
up
shop
in
a
new
community.
O
O
O
O
After
multiple
meetings
with
the
tenants
of
the
building
and
after
presenting
this
plan
to
all
involved,
mr
bobquitz
challenged
us
to
listen
to
the
tenants,
concerns
and
asked
us
to
do
three
things:
one
to
take
less
square
footage,
two
to
inconvenience
the
least
amount
of
tenants
in
the
process
and
three
to
respond
directly
to
the
tenant's
requests
to
stay
completely
out
of
the
basement
after
hours
with
our
architect,
who
has
donated
a
significant
amount
of
his
firm's
time.
We
returned
with
another
proposal
which
responded
directly
to
these
three
requests.
O
Although
we
presented
our
best
case
scenario,
we
are
here
tonight
to
update
you
on
our
second
plan,
which
includes
some
significant
concessions.
It
has
removed
us
completely
from
the
basement.
It
inconveniences
fewer
tenants
and
it
takes
less
square
footage.
From
our
estimation,
it
returns
more
than
three
thousand
square
foot
to
the
rest
of
the
building.
O
O
O
On
the
first
floor
in
this
area
here,
the
plan
includes
an
administrative
space
with
a
reduced
footprint
as
compared
to
the
original
plan
and
could
accommodate
our
staff
and
our
teaching
and
performing
artists
at
any.
Given
time
we
employ
20
to
50
individuals
on
days
where
all
of
our
classrooms
are
in
full
force.
O
You
can
imagine
the
challenge
of
finding
space
in
our
200
square
foot
office
for
teachers
to
mentor
their
apprentices,
while
parents
are
inquiring
about
classes,
while
staff
is
conducting
business
while
patrons
wish
to
purchase
tickets
to
a
production
and
so
on,
our
office
is
stacked.
Four
desks
deep
in
what
used
to
be
the
boys
bathroom.
O
This
plan
helps
alleviate
some
of
those
issues.
Additionally,
the
proposal
includes
office
and
rehearsal
space
for
fleetwood.
Jordan,
theater
pivon
realized
that
with
the
city
vacating
its
offices
on
the
first
floor,
fleetwood
jourdain
would
lose
its
space
in
this
artistic
community,
fleetwood's
professional
productions,
teen
drama
club,
drumming
circles
and
tim
rose
fleetwood's
artistic
director.
An
artistic
voice
in
this
building
would
no
longer
be
a
part
of
the
community
in
the
same
way
if
it
had
to
leave
its
face
and
noise.
O
Finally,
on
the
first
floor,
please
notice
here
how
our
architect
has
envisioned
an
entrance
which
unifies
all
groups
in
the
building,
creates
an
accessible
entrance
in
the
front,
allows
for
branding
not
only
for
pivon
but
for
other
tenants,
removes
the
garbage
dumpsters
from
the
front
of
the
building
and
puts
in
it
in
its
place,
an
area
which
could
be
used
as
a
community
patio
and
best
of
all.
It
makes
this
building
visible
from
the
street
and
the
train.
O
O
We
have
been
very
pleased
that
some
individual
artists
have
come
to
us
to
discuss
ways
in
which
we
can
collaborate
in
the
future,
which
includes
sharing
the
space
with
them.
For
example,
we
would
be
very
proud
to
call
vocal
coach,
faye
kaiser,
a
noise
tenant,
our
go-to
vocal
court
coach
in
the
coming
years.
O
O
O
Our
board
of
directors
has
committed
to
this
process
and
this
project
as
it's
currently
submitted,
because
we
all
believe
that
this
can
create
sustainability
for
piven
and
the
building
as
a
whole.
It's
a
worthwhile
investment.
We
hope
the
city
council
will
continue
to
support
this
project
and
will
embrace
continued
investments
in
the
arts.
Thank
you.
A
N
N
There
is
a
value
in
preserving
diversity
of
the
arts,
visual
arts,
music
dance
as
well
as
theater.
While
we
recognize
the
pivon's
capital
contribution
and
applaud
it,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
there
is
a
limit
to
the
premier
space
that
they
take
the
space.
On
the
second
floor
with
the
water
and
the
light
and
which
isn't
so
much
needed
for
theater
students
as
it
is
for
artists,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
there
isn't
so
much
of
that
space
taken
that
the
rest
of
the
community
of
diverse
artists
doesn't
cannot
continue
to
flourish.

M
M

When
I
started
19
years
ago,
I
started
with
a
10
piece
orchestra
that
performed
for
special
events
with
two
staff
people,
and
now
we,
my
organization,
produces
14
groups
that
employ
over
85
musicians
and
staff
on
a
full-time
basis,
producing
300
performances,
not
only
in
evanston
and
chicago,
but
nationally.
We
also
do
exemplary
community
service.
M
What
I'd
like
to
address
tonight
is,
from
my
vantage
point,
with
the
information
that
we've
had
from
the
six
meetings
that
we've
conducted
so
far
a
comprehensive
analysis
of
of
the
economics
surrounding
the
noise
cultural
art
building
as
wally
referenced.
Is
it
okay?
If
I
refer
to
you
as
wally
wally
referenced
our
july
29th
meeting,
which
was
actually
very
inspiring
to
all
of
the
artists
at
noyes,
he
talked
to
us
about
the
reality
of
the
economic
situation
in
evanston.
M
The
fact
that
we
had
to
cut
nine
million
dollars
in
2010
additional
cuts
in
2011
and
we
might
have
to
cut
down
to
the
bone
in
2012
and,
as
wally
has
pointed
out
tonight,
he
felt
that
self-sustainability
was
the
goal.
The
biggest
concern
from
for
noise
at
that
point
is
not
the
operating
costs,
but
the
covering
and
need
for
future
capital
improvements
and-
and
he
said
to
us
openly
I'd
like
your
help
to
try
to
figure
out
a
way
to
make
noise
sustain
sustainable
well
into
the
future.
M
Wally
asked
me
to
put
together
a
group
of
six
tenants
kind
of
a
precursor
committee
to
the
tenants
board
that
met
regularly
to
flush
out
a
model,
and
we
did
present
it
to
the
city
in
november
and
if
you
turn
to
page
one
of
the
document,
it's
called
the
the
noise
self-sustainability
model
and
the
first
thing
that
we
we
saw
was
that
the
noise
building
was
only
collecting
280
000
of
rent,
because
large
amounts
of
space
in
the
building
were
being
used
for
other
purposes,
either
recreational
or
city
offices,
and
we
determined
by
renting
all
the
available
space.
M
We
could
generate
a
revenue
of
four
hundred
and
eight
thousand
dollars.
Eight
hundred
and
six,
which
is
an
increase
of
a
hundred
and
twenty
eight
thousand
dollars
806.,
with
the
addition
of
a
10
rent
increase
that
that
all
of
the
artists
were
willing
to
put
as
skin
in
the
game
that
would
represent
another
40
000
noise
could
be
running
a
net
surplus
of
169
000
in
2013..
M
In
addition,
the
noise
tenants
all
agreed
to
grant
writing
and
fundraising
activity
with
the
goal
of
raising
an
additional
25
000,
so
that
the
net
of
all
this
is
that
we
would
be
operating
with
a
surplus
of
194
thousand
dollars
and
knowing
that
the
building
was
projected
to
need
from
1
million
to
2
million
of
capital
improvements
that
this
194
thousand
dollar
surplus
could
pay
off
these
improvements
in
five
to
ten
years.
M
We
also
came
up
with
I
the
idea
of
a
capital
reserve
fund
so
that
all
the
money
generated
by
noise
we
go
into
noise,
which
has
been
embraced.
We
came
up
with
the
concept
of
a
board
of
directors
that
was
elected
last
friday.
M
M
Now,
as
wally
indicated,
the
conversation
changed
slightly
from
rent
in
is
a
economic
model
to
sitting
down
with
the
pivot
organization
and
talking
about
what
their
future
needs
would
be
in
order
to
keep
them
in
evanston,
and
we
all
know
that
pivot
is
a
very
important
institution.
It's
important
to
the
city
of
evanston.
M
M
When
the
noise
tenants
saw
that
our
response
was,
would
you
consider
taking
first
and
second
floor
out
to
the
elevator
and
not
the
basement,
but
we
never
suggested
that
they
would
take
first
and
second
floor
and
then
extend
down
the
east
corridor
as
far
as
they
have
so
I'd
like
to
to
let
you
know
that
that
the
noise
artists,
although
very
much
excited
about
building
a
state-of-the-art
theater
and
excited
about
piven,
staying
in
evanston
and
excited
about
an
expansion,
have
been
trying
to
promote
a
smaller
footprint
for
the
noise
expansion,
one
that
would
allow
all
the
tenants
to
thrive
at
noise,
keep
the
maximum
level
of
diversity
and
promote
community
service,
also
bringing
a
new
vitality
and
self-sustainability
to
noise.
M
M
Most
of
the
other
tenants
agree
that
a
smaller
footprint
that
includes
the
first
and
second
floor
out
to
the
elevators
would
give
them
800
820
square
feet
to
develop
their
needs.
It
would
also
in
turn
accommodate
space
for
the
other
artists
in
the
building
and
allow
there
to
be
a
higher
level
of
diversity.
As
sarah
just
pointed
out.
M
M
So
the
tenants,
myself
included,
have
serious
concerns
about
how
that
would
impact.
The
sustained
sustainability
of
the
building.
M
M
M
We've
already
lost
light
opera
works,
as
I'm
sure
you
all
know,
we've
lost
portrait
artist,
richard
halstead
writer,
enid,
barron
and
photographer
sal
lieberman.
All
of
that,
since
these
conversations
began,
implementing
the
current
footprint
would
cause
more
loss
of
organizations
and
artists
because
available
basement
space
would
not
fit
into
their
business
model
or
future
needs.
M
We've
heard
that
that
tonight
that
the
pivot
organization
is
going
to
be
putting
two
and
a
half
million
dollars
of
a
final
financial
commitment
into
the
building,
but
as
people
who
have
been
given
the
the
directive
to
to
look
at
the
economics
and
help
the
city
come
up
with
a
plan,
it's
very
confusing
where
that
money
is
going
to
come
from.
M
If
that
money
is
a
tax
payer
alone,
for
example,
in
any
way
that
would
be
very
similar
to
a
business
going
into
a
commercials
building
and
having
the
landlord
say.
I
will
give
you
a
loan
for
two
and
a
half
million
dollars
to
build
out
your
space
and
you
don't
have
to
pay
rent,
and
there
are
other
things
that
we
wonder
about
the
economics
page
four
and
I'll
finish
up
very
quickly.
M
Will
piven
participate
in
fundraising
for
the
entire
building,
now
that
they
would
be
raising
money
to
pay
off
the
loans
on
their
space?
Would
they
con
continue
to
be?
Do
the
community
service?
It
would
be
equal
to
the
level
of
the
15
studios
they
would
occupy.
M
Other
economic
questions
include:
how
will
the
evanston
taxpayer
perceive
any
city
investment?
However,
it's
structured
as
a
loan
at
the
expense
of
a
possible
fully
sustainable
noise
building,
and
if
the
pivot
is
given
a
50
year
lease
what
if
they
can't
survive
economically
over
a
50-year
period
to
pay
back
that
loan
and.
M
In
closing
I'd
like
to
say
that
again
that
mayor
bobquitz
asked
me
in
september
to
develop
yes,
sir,
to
develop
to
develop
a
model
with
a
group
of
tenants
and
present
it
to
the
city,
one
that
would
make
noise
sustainable
and
he
has
embraced
many
aspects
of
our
self-sustainability
model,
for
which
we're
very
grateful.
Unfortunately,
the
most
important
aspect
self-sustainability
seems
to
have
been
removed
from
the
equation,
and
all
economic
matters
have
been
veiled
from
the
tenants
it.
A
You
we
have
a
couple
more
speakers:
larry
destasi,
jennifer
avery.
I
believe
next,
two
speakers.
P
Thank
you
very
much.
I'm
larry
destassi,
I'm
co-artistic
director
of
the
actress,
gymnasium
circus
and
performing
arts
school
one
of
the
noise
center
tenants,
and
I
would
first
like
to
to
thank
city
manager,
bob
kowitz
and
and
the
mayor
for
all
the
work
that
they've
been
doing,
supporting
the
arts
and
trying
to
involve
us
and
invigorate
the
noise
center
and
beyond.
P
I
would
also
like
to
say
that
I
am
I'm
very
much
in
favor
of
the
the
pivot
expansion,
I
think
they're
fantastic
organization,
and
they
deserve
to
to
have
a
brighter
light
shined
on
them
and-
and
I
find
this
very
exciting
for
the
the
future
of
the
noise
center
and
invigorating
the
entire
place
and
and
all
of
us,
along
with
them.
P
My
my
concern
is
is
with
some
of
the
specifics
and
and
details,
I'm
one
of
the
organizations
that
will
be
displaced.
Our
administrative
offices
will
be
displaced
in
this
new
plan,
as
will,
as
as
ken
stated
about
five
other
organizations,
and
these
are
organizations
that
that
cannot
operate
in
the
in
the
basement
space
and,
and
so
I'm
I'm
very
concerned
and
have
great
issues
with
that.
P
I
I
do
feel
that
there
is,
there
is
perhaps
a
middle
ground
and
perhaps
an
alternate
proposal
that
could
take
a
portion
of
the
basement
and
and
use
the
same
square
footage
that
they
are
now
talking
about
and
displace
the
the
fewest
number
of
people
possible.
P
I
I
think
there
are,
I
would
just
like
to
urge
as
faye
did,
that
we
take
time
with
this
and
we
take
care
and
look
out
for
the
well-being
of
of
all
the
amazing
artists
in
this
building
and
hear
their
voices
and
try
and
look
at
other
possibilities.
Two
options
have
been
presented
and
both
both
had
big
problems.
I
think
there
may
be
a
middle
ground,
so
I
would
just
urge
that
we
take
our
time
in
this
process.
H
H
H
So
the
fact
that
piven
is
interested
in
helping
to
make
this
building
leap
into
the
21st
century
is
very
exciting
for
next
and
we
feel
like
it
will
benefit
not
only
pivon,
but
it
has
lots
of
lots,
as
leslie
said
ability
to
help
next
and
help
all
of
the
artists
in
the
building
by
making
it
a
place.
That
is
better
to
work
in
and
better
for
patrons
to
come
and
visit.
So
we're
very
excited
about
it,
and
thank
you
for
listening
to
me.
A
A
F
Yes,
wally.
Could
you
just
address
a
couple
of
the
issues?
I
I
have
a
sort
of
laundry
list
of
things,
the
the
long-term
sustainability
of
the
of
the
building
itself.
I
think
we
we've
talked
for
a
long
time
about
the
the
physical
needs
of
the
building
roof.
You
know
just
the
basic
building
itself.
Could
you
tell
us
how
those
needs
are
going
to
be
met
over
the
next
25
years?.
K
Well,
the
roof
alderman
fist.
Members
of
the
committee
is
probably
the
biggest
issue,
and
I
am
happy
to
report
that
we
are
very
close
to
announcing
a
grant
that
we
believe
will
cover
the
roof's
cost
so
that
I
think
from
a
financial
sustainability
from
a
capital
perspective.
Removing
that
burden
from
any
of
the
scenarios
we've
talked
about
this
evening
is
a
very
significant
step
so
with
the
roof
removed
from
the
the
sustainability,
then
I
think
you
need
to
look
at
what
will
the
investment
that
the
pivot
theater
workshop
make
in
the
building?
K
I
mean
the
the
some
of
the
speakers
this
evening.
I
think,
have
kind
of
glossed
over
that
the
the
money
that
would
be
spent.
There's
all
money
investing
in
the
building,
so
they're
looking
at
taking
over
you
know
perhaps
a
third
of
the
building,
so
all
the
interior
work
that
would
be
need
to
be
done
over
an
extended
period
of
time
would
be
done
in
one
focused
way
with
the
pivot
improvement.
So
there's
certainly
other
things
throughout
the
building
electrical
other
tenant
improvements
within
other
parts
of
the
building
that
will
be
needed.
K
K
My
sense
is
that
you're
going
to
have
sufficient
capital
dollars
available
to
take
care
of
the
building.
I
think
the
other
question
is
from
a
sustainability.
Standpoint
is
who's
there
and
what
is
going
on
in
the
building.
I
think
that
the
plans
that
we're
looking
at
the
space
needs
will
continue
to
make
it
sustainable.
I
think,
if
you
kind
of
roll
this
to
the
we're
talking
sort
of
the
best
case
scenario,
let's
go
back
to
the
worst
case
scenario.
If
the
pivot
theater
workshop
left
the
building,
who
would
fill
that
space?
K
Who
would
pay
the
rent
to
fill
that
space?
I'm
not
sure,
looking
at
the
environment
right
now
that
there
are
arts
companies
that
would
be
coming
to
evanston
to
fill
that
space.
So
then
you
have
empty
space
and
there
are
no
rents
coming
in
then,
or
at
least
a
portion.
Certainly
of
that
aren't
coming
in,
so
I
think
by
make
having
the
commitment
made
by
piven,
knowing
that
actors
gym
knowing
that,
next,
that
the
individual
creative
artists
remain
there.
I
think
it's
a
different
mix,
it's
a
different
kind
of
catalyst
of
of
artists
coming
together.
K
K
It
was
sort
of
here's,
the
steady
state
and
a
lot
of
the
things
again
that
are
in
the
resolution
before
you
are
things
that
are
moving
forward
in
order
to
keep
the
money
at
the
facility,
something
that
probably
should
have
happened
a
long
time
ago,
but
I
think
what
you
have
before
you
now,
with
the
significant
investment
from
piven
plus,
you
know
the
capital
dollars
coming
elsewhere
for
the
roof
plus,
then
you
know
a
resurgence
of
the
vibrancy
of
the
artistic
efforts
at
the
at
the
center.
K
I
think
satisfy
then
financial
sustainability,
but
I
think
they
probably
not
only
satisfy
but
surpass
the
original
thoughts
of
the
artistic
sustainability
of
the
facility.
Well,.
F
It
sounds
to
me
like
everything
is
coming
together
and
I
want
to
thank
you
for
taking
the
time
to
do
this.
I
remember
I
was,
I
think
when
we
first
started
talking
about
it.
I
went
oh,
oh,
my
gosh
wally,
you
know
let's
slow
down
just
a
little
bit
and
welcome
to
evanston,
and
I
think
you've
really
done
that.
I
think
you've
you
have
taken
those
steps
to
to
meet
and
and
take
into
consideration
the
the
the
needs
and
desires
of
everyone
there.
F
I'm
thrilled
that
piven
is
going
to
stay
and
it
sounds
to
me
like
we're,
really
close
that
maybe
there's
just
a
time.
F
F
It's
a
historic
building.
It's
a
beautiful
building.
It
was
designed
by
daniel
burnham,
I'm
I'm!
You
know
I
I
want
to
retain
that
building
for
its
own,
its
own
historical
value
to
the
community
as
well,
and
I
think
it's
the
ideal
of
preservation
to
have
a
wonderful
historic
building
like
this
move
into
the
next
century,
with
with
a
with
a
new
life
and
but
yet
fulfilling
its
original,
its
original
mission
to
individual
artists,
which
is
what
it
basically
what
it's
been
used
for
for
the
past.
F
For
as
long
as
I
can
remember,
as
long
as
I've,
I've
lived
we're
in
the
neighborhood.
So
I
I
I'm
happy
to
hear
what
you're
saying
and
I
and
I'm
happy
to
hear
what
the
tenants
are
saying.
I'm
thrilled
to
hear
what
piven
is
saying,
but
I
just
want
to
encourage
that
discussion
to
continue
on
so
that
we
have.
We
end
up
with
the
best
possible
result
for
all.
K
And
mr
chair
alderman
fisk,
if
I
can
just
make
one
other
comment,
of
course,
we
have
a
a
a
partner
building
in
this
enterprise
and
that's
the
harley
clark
mansion.
N
K
As
we
move
forward
to
look
at
things
there,
I
want
to
make
sure
everyone
in
the
community
understands
that,
just
because
we
are
looking
for
alternate
uses
for
that,
building
does
not
mean
that
the
work
that
the
evanston
arts
center
is
changing
quite
to
the
contrary.
Again,
this
is
another
piece
of
this
resurgence
where
the
board
of
the
evanston
arts
center
and
nora
dietrich
their
executive
directors.
K
Here
you
know
they
have
also
risen
to
this
occasion
to
say
we
can
do
something
different
and
you
know
by
them
looking
and
us
working
together
to
vacate
that
property
over
the
next.
While
does
not
mean
that
anything
changes.
The
only
thing
that
probably
changes
with
the
evanston
arts
center
is
increased
activity
and
increased
programs
to
support
the
vibrancy
of
the
visual
arts.
K
So
we
want
to
make
sure
that
everyone
in
the
community
understands
that
this
is
also
a
part
of
this
larger
arts
puzzle
that
is
going
to
strengthen
the
evanston
art
center,
make
them
more
accessible
in
the
community
they're
not
going
away
by
any
stretch
of
the
imagination
and,
unfortunately,
because
of
the
discussions
we've
been
having
regarding
the
harley
clark
mansion,
I
think
there
are
some
in
the
community
may
be
confused.
So
I
want
to
take
this
opportunity
to
really
reinforce
that.
K
B
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
The
staff
is
asking
this
committee
approval
or
recommendation
of
a
resolution
that
really
doesn't
touch
upon
the
pivot
proposal
at
all.
It.
H
B
All
to
do
with
this
great
new
tenants,
association
and
changes
to
the
terms
of
the
leases
that
operate
at
the
noise
cultural
arts
center.
So
I'm
going
to
move
that
we
recommend
approval
of
resolution
39r12
authorizing
the
city
manager
to
implement
those
proposed
changes
to
the
noise
center's
tenant
lease
conditions.
F
I
just
had
one
other
question:
how
many
artists,
individual
artists,
are
being
displaced.
A
Don't
think
we
have
a
number
this
is
about.
This
is
just
concerning
the
association
yeah.
