Description
City Council Meeting
Lorraine H. Morton Civic Center
Monday October 26, 2009
8:30 P.M.
C
A
The
other
group
that
was
very
helpful
was
the
Environmental
Protection
Agency
I
told
them
that
we
had
some
concerns
about
LEED
certification
and
they
said
absolutely
lead
is
the
way
to
go.
That's
the
best
minds
that
Barack
Obama
could
bring
together
on
the
issue,
and
they
also
were
very
encouraging
that
for
job
training,
green
jobs
are
the
java,
the
wave
of
the
future,
and
that
there
were
a
large
number
and
I'm
going
to
wait
for
this
for
Lionel
to
walk
in
which
he's
about
to
do,
because
he
wants
to
hear
this.
Oh
he's
going.
C
E
A
Going
in
the
all
dramatic
library,
Lionel
losses,
but
jobs
for
ex-offenders
are
available.
The
the
EPA
has
had
a
lot
of
success
with
brownfield
money
and
training
ex-offenders
and
getting
them
hired.
Their
success
rate
is
fabulous,
so
green
jobs
are,
according
to
the
EPA,
the
way
to
go
city
manager.
Do
you
have
any
announcements.
F
F
Coming
everyone
knows
that
the
city
of
Ephesus,
Department
of
Health
and
Human
Services,
has
been
working
diligently
to
protect
the
community
with
the
provision
of
the
h1n1
vaccine.
Unfortunately,
we
have
yet
to
receive
any
of
those
vaccines.
I've
asked
as
Thomas
to
comes
this
evening
to
provide
the
City
Council
in
the
community,
an
update
as
to
where
we
stand
with
procuring
those
vaccines
and
our
current
schedule
for
clinics.
Sure.
G
Thank
You
city
manager,
good
evening
city,
council,
I,
am
evanna
Thomas,
director
of
evanston's
health
and
human
services
department
and
I
like
to
provide
you
with
an
update
regarding
our
current
h1n1
influenza
activity
and
our
vaccination
situation,
and
the
last
week
influenza
activity
has
increased
dramatically
on
the
national
state
and
local
level
in
Cook
County.
This
increase
has
been
evidenced
by
increased
ER
visits,
increased
hospitalizations
and
increased
doctor's
visits
and
school
absenteeism.
G
Vaccination
is
considered
the
primary
medium
for
controlling
the
spread
of
h1
influenza.
As
a
result,
the
federal
government
expected
to
provide
adequate
vaccine
supplies
to
cover
the
target
groups
and
eventually
everyone
in
the
community.
Their
communications
indicated
that
our
first
large
shipments
would
be
available
at
the
local
level
mid-october.
As
a
result,
local
health
department's
plan,
their
h1n1
vaccination
clinics.
Accordingly,
however,
due
to
manufacturing
issues,
vaccination
clinics
and
the
shipment
have
been
delayed.
G
Currently
evenson
health
and
human
services
department
has
not
received
a
vaccine.
As
you
know,
evanston
health
and
human
services
department
has
scheduled
h1
flu
vaccination
clinics
in
our
school
district,
65
202
Northwestern
University,
some
self-selected
private
schools
in
Evanston
for
our
high
priority
groups.
We
will
also
offer
weaken
clinics
on
both
sunday
and
saturday
for
Evanston
residents
that
meet
the
target
group
profile,
and
our
plan
is
to
start
november.
Seventh
2009.
The
school-based
clinics
have
been
scheduled
to
open
on
Monday
November,
second
2009,
again,
pending
vaccine
availability.
G
We
were
notified
today
at
4pm
that
Evanston
health
and
human
services
department
is
scheduled
to
receive
vaccine
by
end
of
week
we're
doing
everything
possible
that
we
can
to
speed
up
distribution
process
and
are
in
constant
communication
with
the
Illinois
Department
of
Public
Health.
We
will
post
the
new
clinic
schedules
on
our
website
and
we
ask
for
your
assistance
as
the
community
of
getting
the
word
out
as
much
frustration
as
the
present
situation
has
caused.
Please
keep
in
mind
that
our
vaccination
campaign
was
planned
for
the
long
term
and
will
be
supportive.
G
Our
large
number
of
providers
in
the
community,
both
public
and
private,
in
addition
to
vaccine
there
are
other
methods
that
can
be
employed
to
check
the
spread
of
this
disease.
We
recommend
the
following:
effective
control
measures
such
as
recognizing
early
symptoms,
staying
home
when
sick
following
proper
cough
etiquette,
washing
your
hands
and
using
good
health
habits.
We
appreciate
your
understanding
during
this
challenging
pandemic
year.
We
will
continue
to
communicate
with
you
routinely.
G
F
G
We
have
the
seasonal
flu
vaccine
schedule
posted
on
our
website,
but
your
local
pharmacist
do
have
seasonal
flu.
Private
providers
do
have
seasonal
flu.
We
at
the
Health
Department
are
not
offering
seasonal
flu
we're
offering
the
h1n1
vaccine
only.
But
if
you
have
questions
regarding
locations
for
Evanston
community
residents,
you
can
call
our
number
date
for
seven,
eight,
six,
six,
two
nine
six,
two
or
visit
our
website.
We
do
have
those
links
available
and
they're
updated
daily.
We
are
encouraging
all
to
get.
G
Their
vaccine
did
not
wait
until
we
receive
supply
if
private
providers
get
them
and
Evans
done
at
the
same
time
that
we
will,
if
residents,
have
another
means
of
ascertaining
the
vaccine,
we
would
encourage
you
to
get
it
as
soon
as
possible.
But
again
we
will
update
you
regularly
regarding
the
availability
that
we
have
as
a
department
and
we
will
implement
our
clinics
expeditiously.
Thank
you.
H
Good
evening
city
council,
my
name
is
Bob
Gorski
I
am
the
past
president
of
the
American
Society
of
Civil
Engineers,
and
we
represent
about
3,000
civil
engineers
in
Northern
Illinois
each
year
we
recognize
projects
of
in
particular
this
year,
and
each
year
we
give
out
an
outstanding
civil
engineering
achievement
award
for
projects
over
5
million
dollars.
Just
a
few
weeks
ago,
at
our
93rd
annual
dinner,
the
society
presented
an
award
to
the
city
of
Evanston
for
the
combined
sewer
relief
program,
so
I'm
here
tonight
to
present
that
award
this
plaque
to
Mayor
to
vail.
I
Thank
you
and
thank
you
to
the
ASC
for
this
award.
Some
of
you
may
know
that
combined
sewer
system
in
Evanston
has
been
a
problem.
We
have
a
report
that
goes
back
to
nineteen
thirty-eight,
indicating
how
undersized
the
combined
sewer
was
for
the
development
that
occurred
in
the
1930s
in
1987.
The
city
of
Evanston
began
searching
for
a
solution
to
this
problem
and
we
began
looking
for
engineering
firms
and
what
really
motivated
to
community
to
move
forward
with
this
project
was
a
major
rain
storm
that
occurred
in
August
in
1989.
I
It
was
a
hundred-year
rain
event
and
the
amount
of
damage
that
was
caused
by
that
rain
storm
was
significant.
Everything
that
was
in
anybody's
basement
was
out
along
the
curb
after
that
rain
event,
because
it
was
all
damaged.
Many
basements
had
five
to
six
feet
of
water,
sewage,
water
in
their
basements,
the
city
selected
to
hire
harshly
engineering
now
mwh,
america's
based
on
their
innovative
design,
which
included
partial
separation
and
overland
flow.
I
The
partial
separation
was
the
installation
of
large
diameter
tunnels
and
sewer
mains
by
open-cut
construction,
and
the
overland
flow
was
accomplished
by
putting
restrictors
and
drainage
structures
that
kept
stormwater
up
on
the
street
level
and
allowed
the
storm
water
to
flow
along.
The
curb
for
up
to
two
blocks
were
it
would
be
intercepted
by
the
relief
sewer
project.
The
project
cost
the
city
of
addison,
approximately
210
million
dollars.
I
So,
although
it
was
very
expensive,
very
long
duration,
the
project
did
work
to
what
it
was
supposed
to
do
and
overall,
the
project
was
feasible
because
of
Metropolitan
Water,
Reclamation
District,
constructing
their
deep
tunnel
and
our
project
we
funded
most
of
the
project
through
iepa
loans.
Revolving
loan
funds,
which
kept
the
debt
payment
very
low.
The
city
staff
was
guided
by
the
flood
inclusion,
Control
Commission
and
overall,
the
project
only
got
done
because
we
had
the
support
of
the
City
Council
and
keeping
moving
forward
in
doing
the
job.
So
thank
you
to
all
of
you.
J
Much
like
the
work
of
a
police
officer
or
firefighter
the
911
telecommunicator
needs
to
go
from
zero
to
100
in
the
blink
of
an
eye
when
dealing
with
emergency
events,
they
have
to
deal
with
the
frantic
phone
call,
keeping
track
of
police
and
fire
units
while
trying
to
anticipate
the
needs
to
help
mitigate
the
emergency
tonight,
we'd
like
to
recognize
one
of
our
telecommunicators.
Her
name
was
submitted
to
the
Illinois
chapter
of
app
go,
which
is
the
associated
public
safety
communications
officials
for
recognition
for
the
work
she
has
done.
J
D
I'm
very
proud
to
be
here
and
be
able
to
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
the
nomination
that
was
presented
to
the
apco
board
and
if
I
could
begin
by
I'll
go
backwards
with
the
chain
of
events,
but
Lynn
has
had
a
very
productive,
progressive
past
work
period
here
in
the
last
12
15
months.
Just
to
tell
you
a
little
bit
of
history
in
the
communication
center
every
any
given
night,
you
have
three
to
four
communicators
in
the
911
center
answering
calls
and
between
the
police
and
fire.
D
We
have
over
50,000
calls
for
service
annually,
and
so
these
dispatchers
communicators
they
rotate
positions
in
the
center
on
and
one
given
day.
They
might
be
the
fire
dispatcher
on
another
different
day,
the
police
dispatcher
on
another
given
day
the
call
taker-
and
this
keeps
them
fresh
and
and
able
to
handle
any
type
of
situation
that
comes
along
so
Lynn
was
nominated
for
the
following
three
reasons
and
one
a
one
given
day
in
the
summer.
D
So
she
called
911
and
she
asked
for
a
rescue.
Well,
this
put
into
a
chain
of
events
that
was
just
really
unusual.
We
had
the
Recreation
Department
respond
immediately
with
their
boat.
We
had
the
Coast
Guard
called,
and
we
had
the
fire
department,
a
helicopter
from
Chicago
readied,
and
we
had
the
the
fire
department
was
down
at
the
waterfront
with
their
jet
skis.
And
all
this
time
that
was
going
on
Lynn
was
on
the
phone
with
the
caller,
who
was
hysterical
and
really
didn't
know
their
location
and
through
terrific
interviewing
skills
and
calming
techniques.
D
It
just
happened
that
Lynn
was
on
the
phone
and
had
the
job
of
handling
the
caller
that
worked
so
well
and
made
it
go
so
smoothly
and
I'm
happy
to
say
that
all
came
back
without
any
injury
or
fatality.
So
that
was
the
first
thing
most
recently
that
happened.
The
next
one
in
order
was.
We
had
a
lady
that
a
mother
who
had
approached
an
officer
and
said
I
have
a
an
adult
son,
who's
distraught
at
home
and
I'd
like
police,
to
go
to
the
house
and
see
if
we
can't
help
him
well.
D
Lynn
got
the
phone
call
from
the
officer
who
was
approached
by
the
mother
and
said
that
her
son,
her
adult
son,
was
home
and
distraught
and
needed
a
reason
for
police
to
come
by
and
check
on
him.
So
the
mother
accompanied
the
officers
back
to
the
location,
but
not
after
having
first
been
being
interviewed
by
lynn
and
lynn,
organized
the
response.
D
One
of
the
things
her
to
remember
that
a
telecommunicator
was
taught
that
every
response
could
be
a
major
one,
regardless
of
how
minor
it
might
start
out.
Well,
in
this
particular
case,
she
did
as
protocol
required
and
lined
up
enough
resources
so
that
when
the
officers
went
to
the
scene
and
confronted
the
individual
that
was
distraught,
it
turned
out
that
he
was
in
enclosed
possession
of
a
handgun
one
for
the
handgun
when
approached
by
the
officers
and
a
shooting
resulted
in
also
one
of
the
officers
getting
hit.
D
That
was
in
large
part
due
to
why
it
went
so
well
and
the
third
thing
that
she
was
nominated
for
and
the
same
award
was.
We
had
an
incident
where
there
was
a
gentleman
that
was
doing
a
roofing
job
in
North
Evanston
and
he
was
on
the
roof
and
something
happened
and
he
fell
off
the
roof
and
it
was
a
multi-stage,
multi-level
building
and
when
he
fell
off,
he
hit
the
ground
and
he
severely
injured
himself
breaking
bones
to
the
point
where
he
couldn't
walk
or
get
up.
D
D
He
was
ready
to
pass
out,
I'm
sure
from
his
severe
internal
injuries.
So
these
were
the
three
events
that
she
was
nominated
for
and
why
she
was
chosen
as
telecommunicator
of
the
year-
and
I
must
say
it's
a
most
prestigious
award
for
for
us
here
in
Evanston
to
have
such
a
good,
employee
and
she's
almost
20
years.
Few
more
months
and
she's
20
years
and
she's
trained
most
of
the
staff
in
the
center
about
75%
of
the
staff
have
been
trained
by
lynn
and
she's.
Just
one
heck
of
a
dedicated
person
for
evanston.
So.
K
F
Madam
mayor
members
of
the
council,
we're
going
to
here
in
a
minute
again
from
the
police
department,
but
before
we
do
another
plug
for
our
budget
workshops
that
are
coming
up,
we
have
flyers
available.
We
have
created
a
website
which
is
WWF
msn
org
forward,
slash
budget
just
to
review.
We
have
our
first
community
budget
workshop
on
saturday
november,
seventh
from
832
one
at
the
leavey
center.
This
is
the
sort
of
the
prerequisite
class
for
these
budget
workshops.
So
we
ask
that
those
who
wish
to
participate
through
the
process
attend
this
first
workshop
on
november.
F
Seventh,
then
there
are
three
additional
workshops
on
Thursday
November
12
from
seven
to
ten
p.m.
at
the
Robert
Crown
Center
Tuesday
November
17,
from
seven
to
ten
p.m.
at
the
Fleetwood
Jourdain
center
and
Monday
November
30th
here
in
the
city
council
chambers,
here
at
the
morton
Civic
Center
from
seven
to
ten
p.m.
so
again,
if
you're
interested
in
participating,
we
would
encourage
people
to
go
to
the
website
city
of
Evanston,
org
forward,
slash
budget
for
additional
information
and
to
sign
up
for
participating
in
the
workshops.
F
Next,
several
of
the
ball
derman
have
asked
for
a
update
regarding
the
use
of
technology
by
the
police
department
and
so
achieve.
Eddington
is
here
to
make
that
presentation,
but
before
he
starts
I'd
like
to
ask
chief
addington
to
talk
briefly
about
our
activities,
this
coming
Saturday
evening,
Halloween
a
lot
going
on
here
in
the
city
of
Evanston,
the
chief
headington.
If
you
could
talk
a
little
bit
about
what
we're
doing
to
make
sure
that
everybody
has
a
fun
and
safe
time
on
Halloween
Thank.
E
You
mr.
manager,
first
of
all,
let
me
divide
the
Halloween
section
of
these
comments
into
two
parts:
we're
going
to
do
what
we
always
do
on
Halloween,
which
is
a
substantial
effort
with
the
neighborhood
watch
groups
and
the
black
clubs
to
maintain
order
and
minimize
criminal
damage
to
property
in
the
area.
We've
worked
very
hard
on
this
system.
For
many
years
we
have
an
excellent
rapport
with
many
of
the
neighborhood
watch
groups
and
we'll
be
out
again,
as
always,
to
reduce
the
egg
throwing
and
other
vandalism.
E
In
addition
to
that,
northwestern
has
a
home
game
this
weekend,
which
is
an
afternoon
start
time.
The
city,
especially
the
public
library
in
you,
harris
bank,
have
worked
together
with
these
7th
ward,
alderman
jen
groover,
to
put
together
a
nice
halloween
party
to
keep
the
young
trick-or-treaters
off
the
street
and
out
of
the
way
of
this
rather
intense
traffic
time,
it
will
be.
We
anticipate
a
well-attended
football
game,
they're
playing
Penn
State
Joe
Paterno's
at
390
wins,
so
we
don't
have
to
worry
about
an
excess
crowd
for
the
400th
win,
but
we
did.
E
We
did
research
that
also-
and
you
will
be
having
fireworks
after
the
game,
which
will
hold
the
crowd
for
a
period
of
time
and
our
traffic
unit
and
other
members
of
the
department
assigned
to
the
traffic
control
detail
will
focus
on
that
traffic
safety,
getting
the
kids
safely
in
and
out
of
a
party
and
getting
folks
on
their
way
after
the
game
and
after
the
fireworks.
So
we're
looking
forward
to
a
busy
but
fun
and
safe
evening.
E
Thank
You
mr.
manager,
now
onto
the
prepared
remarks,
I'd
like
to
first
of
all
introduce
detective
Brian
Bart's
from
the
net
unit
is
with
me
here
this
evening,
who
has
all
the
technical
expertise
I'm
just
supposed
to
talk
about
what
we
do
and
how
we
use
it
with
that,
we're
going
to
show
a
series
of
videos
and
if
you
go
ahead
and
start
brand,
we've
become
more
sophisticated
as
time.
E
Gah
has
gone
by
with
the
use
of
this
technology
and
our
technology
funding
comes
from
many
sources
on
not
only
the
city
of
Evanston
Homeland,
Security
federal
grants,
the
bulk
of
those
grants
sponsored
by
representative
jan
Schakowsky,
tip
funding,
especially
along
howard
street.
So
there's
a
myriad
of
things
you're
about
to
see
probably
the
most
expensive
five
seconds
in
epd
history.
E
E
As
the
generation
of
cameras
increases
and
that
cost
has
gone
down,
the
clarity
of
photographs
has
increased
substantially
and
also
we're
will
come
up
later
in
the
presentation.
Pan
pan
tilt
zoom
is
being
replaced
by
these
fixed
areas
of
coverage.
Also,
the
playback
has
become
significantly
more
sophisticated.
We
can
cover
a
lot
of
time
in
a
minimum
amount
of
personal
investment
time
to
review
the
tapes.
E
This
is
an
event
that
some
of
the
senior
members
that
the
City
Council
may
be
familiar
with
the
ceiling
in
the
911
center
decided
it
didn't
want
to
stay
up
anymore.
Fortunately,
no
one
was
hurt
in
the
incident.
We've
played
this
portion
to
compare
and
contrast
that
to
the
newer
camera
and
the
clarity
of
those
cameras
that
we
have
acquired
and
installed
in
city
buildings,.
E
This
is
an
example
of
some
of
our
on
street
cameras
in
the
level
of
sophistication
that
has
brought.
This
is
an
example
of
how,
in
some
applications,
the
pan
to
pan
tilt
zoom
is
appropriate
and
also
this
camera
can
be
controlled
from
the
police
station
and
it
provides
an
excellent
platform
for
the
recovery
of
information
and
the
evaluation
of
traffic
patterns
and
other
situations,
and
also
that
the
control
from
the
police
station
is
critical.
We
now
have
the
ability
for
the
911
dispatcher
to
control
this
camera.
E
I'll
focuses
on
an
area
to
make
a
determination
of
what
resources
should
be
sent
in
case.
There
is
an
emergency
call
down
on
Long
Howard
Street
I
want
to
first
of
all
applaud
the
efforts
of
beep
at
they
have
been
invaluable
partners
in
this
endeavor
and
seeking
a
solution
to
the
the
myriad
of
technical
problems
along
Howard
Street.
Also
that
Howard
Street
solution
has
been
aided
by
alderman
rainy
and
her
request
for
the
use
of
tip
funds
for
this
solution.
One
of
the
critical
things
along
this
corridor.
E
In
several
other
section
of
the
city,
we
do
not
have
the
fiber
infrastructure.
Consequently,
the
solutions
we've
developed
are
all
Wireless
and,
as
we
utilize
the
federal
dollars
in
grants
that
we've
received
our
goal
is
to
develop
a
prototype
camera
that
we
can
place
in
daisy-chained
together
throughout
neighborhoods.
Also,
as
the
electronics
become
a
more
sophisticated,
lighter,
therefore,
more
portable,
it's
a
little
bit
easier
to
move
them
around.
E
And
once
again,
the
cameras
under
the
control
of
Police
Department:
this
is
some
internal
views
of
the
police
station
and
I
realize
I.
Hopefully,
this
light
won't
go
on
too
long,
because
when
I
was
looking
at
this
afternoon,
kind
of
gave
me
a
headache.
It
kind
of
reminds
me
of
anybody
see
the
movie
the
fly
where
he
had
multiple
and
in
any
event,
this
allows
us
to
look
had
multiple
views
of
cell
blacks.
Obviously,
when
we
have
people
in
custody,
there
are
responsibilities,
their
safety
becomes
one
of
our
primary
concerns.
E
These
are
some
views
of
the
exterior
of
the
station
in
some
areas
in
the
station
that
are
more
prone
to
citizen
and
counters.
We
also
have
rapidly
expanded
the
in-car
video
system.
This
is
a
street
stop.
We
can
play
it
back
rather
quickly.
You'll
see
members
of
the
net
unit
chasing
the
offender
who's
decided
to
flee
from
the
car.
This,
unfortunately,
is
also
an
example
of
one
of
the
cardinal
rules
of
police
work.
You
always
need
to
leave
someone
behind
that'll
become
glaringly
apparent
here
in
a
moment.
E
Let
me
see
the
pan
tube
film
versus
the
fixed
cameras,
we're
just
getting
a
better
quality
from
the
fixed
cameras.
Here's
a
projection
of
that
project,
which
will
be
funded
primarily
with
federal
dollars
and,
once
again,
as
we
look
at
this
solution,
our
primary
goal
is
to
get
a
prototype
camera.
What
we
want
and
need
that
we
can
apply
in
multiple
locations.
E
E
It's
an
excellent,
that's
the
camera
part
of
the
technology,
some
of
the
other
technology
we're
looking
at
is
in
car
repute,
reporting.
One
of
the
issues
with
that
is
the
technology
has
gone
department-wide
in
the
old
days
we
could
have
a
piece
of
technology
that
was
in
the
radio
room
records
really
didn't
care
because
of
the
integration
of
the
information.
All
those
systems
have
to
work
together
and
we're
becoming
more
sophisticated
at
that.
The
next
step
in
n
Carr
reporting
is
the
installation
of
the
cads
400
system.
E
B
Yes,
madam
mayor,
just
won't
announce
that
the
citizens
have
been
calling
the
office
four
minutes
of
council
meetings.
Just
won't.
Let
you
know
that
all
council
meeting
minutes
are
only
available
to
the
public
after
the
next
council
meeting
has
met
and
approved
those
minutes.
So
you
cannot
get
minutes
until
the
next
council
meeting
has
moved
and
approvals
minutes.
They
will
be
online.
B
F
F
Also
last
week
at
the
Economic
Development
Committee
there
was
a
discussion
of
this
topic
would
like
to
review
the
work
that
they
did
as
well
as
talk
about
some
next
steps,
which
would
hopefully
then
bring
us
to
a
economic
development
work
plan
that
would
be
approved
by
the
City
Council
next
month.
Why
issues
and
strategies
certainly
in
mind
nearly
three
months?
Is
your
city
manager
and
talking
about
economic
development,
members
of
the
City
Council,
but
also
community
members
of
business
leaders.
F
Really,
there
seems
to
be
two
separate
pots
of
issues
to
discuss
first,
really
to
identify
the
problems
that
we're
facing
as
a
community
and
the
second
to
look
at
strategies
to
implement
solutions
to
those
problems.
It
seems
as
if
there's
lots
of
strategies
to
fix
problems,
but
not
always
a
clear
identification
of
what
those
those
problems
are
and
through
the
document
that
I
proposed,
and
certainly
the
discussion
that
the
economic
development
committee
had
last
week.
There
are
big
issues
and
small
issues
facing
the
city
of
Evanston.
F
Dealing
with
economic
development
and
I
would
hope
that
the
work
plan
that
your
staff
would
be
charged
with
other
taking
over
the
next
several
months
would
look
both
at
those
big
and
small
issues.
They
are
not
mutually
exclusive.
I
think
it's
important
that
we
look
at
the
big
picture
issues
to
help
move
the
community
forward,
but
certainly
there
are
lots
of
smaller
issues
in
order
to
keep
written,
retain
businesses
help
them
expand
the
city
of
Evanston
that
we
need
to
look
at
as
well
as
we're
looking
at
issues.
F
There
are
different
partners
that
make
sense
for
addressing
those
issues,
and
certainly
one
of
the
takeaways
I
hope
from
this
evening
will
be
that
we
will
go
back
and
look
at
the
the
list
of
issues
that
the
council
has
identified
and
come
back
to
you
with
the
work
plan
that
matches
the
appropriate
resources
are
different
partners
throughout
the
community
as
well
as
city
resources.
Ultimately,
a
work
plan
with
time
frames
matter
of
rhetoric
results
and
responsible
parties
for
implementation,
I
think
is
very
key
in
order
to
move
this
goal
forward.
F
It's
moving
that
was
jen
forward
over
the
last
several
years,
as
well
as
dennis
moreno,
our
interim
Community
Development
Director,
the
business
assistance,
business
attraction,
business
retention,
all
important
pieces.
As
far
as
assistance.
You
know,
what
can
we
do
with
startups?
What
can
we
do
with
the
businesses
that
are
perhaps
already
established
looking
to
come
here?
The
existing
business
is
looking
to
expand
a
business
attraction.
I
think
it's
important.
Not
only
do
we
move
forward
to
attract
businesses,
but
also
to
focus
on
the
kind
of
businesses
we
would
like
to
see
here.
F
A
business
retention
has
components
of
all
that
how
we
brand
the
city
of
Evanston.
What
can
we
do
to
attract
both
small
businesses,
natural
retailers,
commercial,
industrial
businesses?
What
is
it
that
it
makes
Evanston
special
issues
of
buying
Evanston
hiring
Evanston,
our
own,
the
city
government,
being
business
friendly
working
to
make
sure
that
any
economic
prosperity
that
comes
from
economic
development
is
truly
city
wide
and
is
inclusive
of
all
members
of
our
community.
We
have
had
a
successful
technology
innovation
center,
which
has
served
as
a
business
incubator.
F
What
can
we
do
to
continue
to
support
that
endeavor?
What
can
we
do
to
expand
that?
What
can
we
do
to
invest
in
local
stimulus
issues?
What
can
we
do
to
market
our
community?
What
can
we
do
to
work
closely
with
our
various
partners
and
those
partners
range
from
northwestern
to
the
hospitals,
to
Rotary
International
to
the
Chamber
of
Commerce,
the
Economic
Development
Corporation,
the
downtown
evanston,
the
North
Shore
Convention
and
Visitors
Bureau?
We
have
lots
of
partners
in
the
area
of
economic
development.
What
can
we
do
to
work
with
them?
F
Our
revitalization
and
redevelopment
of
targeted
areas,
including
the
downtown,
the
TIF
districts,
are
commercial
corridors.
We've
also
talked
quite
a
bit
about
revenue
generating
an
issue
of
specifically
water
sales
skills,
development
and
job
training.
There
are
lots
of
evanston
residents
who
are
underemployed
or
not
employed.
What
can
we
do
to
be
helpful
to
them?
As
the
mayor
mentioned,
we
were
in
Washington
DC
last
week
and
heard
a
lot
about
green
jobs
and
could
green
jobs
be
something
that
we
work
with
various
partners
on
to
bring
those
to
the
city
of
Evanston.
F
The
issue
of
tourism
folks
visiting
not
only
evidence
to
put
the
North
Shore.
What
can
we
do
to
maximize
those
dollars
so
those
kind
of
sort
of
a
laundry
list
of
issues
and
then
strategies?
What
could
we
do
to
try
to
move
some
of
those
issues
forward
again,
looking
at
specific
areas
being
business
friendly,
facilitating
money
and
assistance
from
other
levels
of
government
financing
facilitating
with
both
the
public
and
private
sector,
working
with
minority-owned,
women-owned
and
evanston
owned
businesses,
making
sure
that
our
information
technology
structure
is
what
it
needs
to
be?
F
F
So
last
Wednesday
evening
the
Economic
Development
Committee
met
and
staff
put
forward
that
list
of
issues
to
them
through
their
discussions.
At
the
meeting
last
wednesday
evening,
the
committee
took
those
issues
and
really
boiled
them
down
to
four
areas:
business
attraction,
business
retention,
marketing
and
branding
and
business
expansion
in
the
area.
Business
attraction
of
the
committee
again
looked
at
a
lot
of
the
same
strategies
that
have
already
covered,
but
to
look
at
economic
stimulus.
Look
at
our
partners
to
look
at
critical,
targeted
properties
in
need
of
assistance.
F
Certainly
areas
throughout
the
city
include
that
working
with
commercial,
real
estate
brokers,
making
sure
that
we
have
an
inventory
of
all
our
businesses
who
are
here
to
recruit
on
the
basis
of
what's
here
and
what
we
could
need
to
add
to
that
to
project.
Clear
and
positive
business
message
have
stronger
presence
with
Northwestern
University
events
that
may
generate
business
leads
again
to
work
with
existing
businesses
and
to
bring
residents
who
are
business,
regional
business
leaders
to
help
us
in
our
business
attraction
efforts
more
office
space,
utilizing
that
again
identifying
things
that
are
missing.
F
Category
the
committee
identified
was
to
have
City
and
staff
have
a
comprehensive
focused
with
a
centralized
approach
to
make
sure
that
we're
moving
forward.
Clearly,
we
would
need
once
the
council
decides
on
a
work
plan.
I
would
want
to
come
back
to
you
with
the
recommendations
for
additional
resources,
certainly
in
order
to
move
these
issues
forward,
I
want
to
make
sure
that
the
city
of
Evanston
staff
is
properly
equipped
to
do
that.
So
I'm
asking
the
council
tonight
to
basically
take
in
the
work
that
your
staff
has
done.
F
Amanda
members
of
the
council.
I
know
this
is
really
your
number
one
goal
of
the
12
goals
established
I.
Think
by
separating
what
the
issues
are
of
importance
and
again,
I
appreciate
the
work
that
the
economic
development
committee
spent
over
a
couple
of
hours
last
Wednesday
evening,
identifying
those
issues
and
then
to
make
sure
that
we're
implementing
the
most
appropriate
strategies
not
only
using
existing
city
forces
but
additional
resources
that
can
be
brought
to
bear
by
the
city
of
Evanston
but
probably
also,
most
importantly,
working
very
closely
with
our
partners
throughout
the
community.
F
Very
good
that
madam
mayor
I'd,
like
them
to
move
on
to
the
next
item
under
the
special
ordered
business,
and
that
is
a
discussion
regarding
efficiency
and
effectiveness
of
services.
Again,
as
the
council
said,
its
goals
for
the
year.
This
was
an
issue
that
was
identified.
There
was
not
a
lot
of
talk
at
the
time
of
the
council
goal,
setting
specifically
identifying
what
some
of
the
issues
were
here.
There
was
some
talk
about
customer
service.
There
was
some
talk
about.
F
You
know,
making
it
easier
for
our
residents
and
businesses
to
do
business
with
the
city
of
Evanston.
So
I'd
like
to
ask
the
council
now
to
just
maybe
spend
a
few
minutes,
as
you
did
at
your
last
meeting
talking
about
safety
issues
to
talk
about
this
goal,
to
allow
your
staff
then
to
come
back
at
a
future
meeting
with
again
another
work
plan
to
sort
of
crystallized
some
issues
to
move
this
go
forward.
C
Want
one
thing:
I
know:
we've
talked
a
lot
about,
is
benchmarking
and
looking
at
best
practices
for
effectiveness
and
I
wear
a
lot
of
times
we
hear
from
staff
of
what's
happening
in
their
respective
departments,
but
I'm
not
sure
that
we
have
set
out
goals
and
measurements
in
the
same
way.
So
if
we
can
look
at
other
cities,
municipalities,
entities
looking
at
one
of
the
best
practices
are
they'll,
be
very
helpful.
L
In
our
quest
to
improve
customer
service
in
in
evanston,
I
think
it's
important
to
have
a
feedback
mechanism,
some
kind
of
regular
customer
satisfaction.
Surveys,
tie
them
perhaps
to
even
performance
evaluations,
provide
a
link
on
the
city's
website,
a
place
in
the
Civic
Center
other
public
facilities,
where
we
can
gather
insights
and
input
and
ideas
about
customer
service
in
city
services
and
then
Wally.
Mr.
babka
wits
I
liked
her
idea
about
a
311
service
in
Evanston.
M
Agree
with
those
points
also
I
particular
interest
to
me
is
getting
that
that
feedback
mechanism
employed
something
as
autumn
and
Grover
suggested
on
the
welt
on
the
website.
That's
very
well
display
easy
to
find.
So
if
somebody
goes
to
the
website
a
lot
of
times
when
someone
visits
the
city
paid,
they
have
a
problem
or
a
concern
and
they
want
a
voice,
an
opinion,
and
if
that
was
I,
guess
it
easier
to
find
in
a
direct
destination
where
that
could
be
distributed
by
one
person
to
the
appropriate
managers
or
departments.
M
E
N
I'm
not
entirely
sure
what
the
solution
isn't
in
terms
of
people
calling
repeatedly
and
not
getting
what
they
need.
So
I
think
that's
something
that
we
have
to
you're
out
a
way
to
do.
But
when
citizens
are
using
self-help
measures,
they're
not
contacting
us
they're,
picking
up
the
phone
they're
going
to
the
website
and
but
they're
not
getting
a
response
back
from
an
effective
response
back
from
the
city.
L
Make
it
easier
for
us
to
do
our
jobs
to
make
the
residents
feel
as
if
we
are
more
responsive,
I
recommend
the
book
to
you.
I'm
not
quite
finished
with
it,
but
it
studies
a
number
of
corporations
and
organizations
which
have
realized
a
real
improvement
in
their
bottom
line
in
their
stock
price
when
they
introduced
civility
measures
into
their
organization
and
made
it
part
of
the
culture.
C
Also
want
to
talk
about
economy
of
scale
as
far
as
partnering,
with
other
local
municipalities
that
may
be
border
us
about
doing
services
together,
also,
maybe
other
not-for-profit
entities
in
the
community.
So
looking
at
the
duplication
of
efforts,
instead
of
everybody
being
in
their
own
separate
cylinder,
how
can
we
go
across
entities
and
not
just
looking
at
it
in
a
singular
way.
O
Thank
you,
madam
mayor,
just
a
couple
of
really
small
points
here.
Just
in
terms
of
using
our
website,
I
think
it's
been
vastly
approved.
I.
Think
Wally's
blog
is
fabulous.
I
think
it
also
helps
people
to
identify
that
there
are
people
who
are
working
in
the
city
who
are
on
the
other
end
of
the
phone
and
on
the
answering
side
of
the
emails.
I
would
like
to
have
photographs
of
our
city
employees
on
the
website.
So
when
you
click
on
a
department,
you
can
see
the
people
who
are
in
that
department.
O
O
The
city
code
have
a
problem
with
the
code
and
I
understand
that
we
don't
that
it's
not
the
city
of
Evanston,
who
is
monitoring
the
code,
but
I
think
if
there
is
a
way
for
us
to
work
with
our
supplier
of
that
information
to
make
the
code
a
little
bit
more
user
friendly,
so
that
people
can
find
what
they
want
when
they
are
searching
the
web
site.
I.
Think
that
would
be
very
helpful.
A
F
A
P
Q
Q
Going
to
speak
on
two
things
actually
I
didn't
even
know.
There
was
a
camera
presentation
tonight
that
interest
me
quite
a
bit,
because
several
years
ago,
I
filed
a
Freedom
of
Information
request
to
look
at
some
of
these
camera
thing.
Videos
and
was
told
I
couldn't
see
them.
I
need
to
go
to
court
to
see
them.
I've
been
concerned
about
this
for
a
long
time,
because
the
city
has
no
policy
on
the
use
of
these
cameras.
There
isn't
really
a
policy,
so
citizens,
as
you
saw,
those
cameras,
could
be
used
to
even
look.
Q
You
know,
look
into
citizens
windows
and
you
have
no
policy
really
to
run
this.
So
I.
Think
about
that
that
you
need
to
look
at
this.
I
said
this
before
at
the
Council
of
how
those
cameras
are
being
used
and
not
against
the
cameras,
but
because
you
have
nothing
that
controls
it,
you
could
have
problems
in
the
future.
The
other
thing
I'm
going
to
speak
about
is
this
ordinance
on
the
city
code
related
to
residential
buildings,
inspections
of
condos
and
things.
I
think
this
is
more
another
way
to
maybe
get
revenue
for
the
city.
Q
That's
unnecessary!
An
invasion
of
privacy
to
people's
homes
on
the
city's
had
to
also
do
this
with
rental
property
and
I
guess
many
years
ago.
The
city
would
actually
go
even
in
private
homes
back
in
the
60s,
and
this
started
really.
I
guess
the
minority
neighborhoods
in
town
many
many
years
ago,
and
then,
when
it
went
across
the
basically
the
canal,
people
put
a
stop
to
it,
and
these
types
of
inspections,
I
think,
are
none
necessary,
then
have
no
real
value
and
serve
no
purpose
and
they're.
Q
A
P
P
Name
is
Jojo
skalski.
I
live
at
2309
grant
street
I'm
a
25
year
resident
of
the
seventh
ward.
I
am
a
LEED
accredited
professional
I'm,
a
registered
professional
engineer,
I've
been
in
the
energy
business
for
32
years,
I
work
for
a
large
commercial
contractor,
I'm
an
executive
there
I'm
involved
in
several
energy
savings
projects
in
the
Chicagoland
area.
At
this
time,
I
am
a
strong
proponent
of
sustainability
in
design
and
construction.
However,
I
am
strongly
opposed
to
the
green
building
ordinance
that
is
on
the
agenda
this
evening,
as
currently
drafted.
P
I,
do
not
believe
that
the
city
of
Evanston
should
give
up
its
control
of
our
building
code
to
an
outside
agency
that
we
do
not
control
and
I
do
not
believe
that
the
lead
process
was
designed
for
this
purpose.
The
cost
of
LEED
certification
is
substantial
and
I
believe
it
will
halt
development
of
some
marginal
projects
in
the
city
and
particularly
those
in
lower
income
areas.
P
I
think
we're
setting
up
a
disincentive
for
owners
of
existing
facilities
to
rehabilitate
those
structures
as
well
also
want
to
point
out
that
lead
accredited
facilities
are
not
necessarily
energy-saving
facilities.
I
am
in
favor
of
seeing
changes
to
our
building
code
to
incorporate
improvements
there
to
enhance
sustainability
and
I
would
encourage
you
to
council
to
consider
that
I
would
also
like
to
mention
that
the
US
Green
Building
Council
reports
that
132
municipalities
have
incorporated
lead
requirements
into
their
building
codes
out
of
approximately
18,000
you
Nissa
pallet
ease
in
the
United
States
of
this
small
amount.
P
The
vast
majority
of
only
required
lead
on
the
facilities
at
the
city
itself
owns
only
a
small
fraction
have
delved
into
private
developments
and
of
those
that
have
dealt
into
private
developments.
The
vast
majority
of
those
have
encouraged
lead
certification
by
offering
incentives,
rather
than
by
requiring
them.
Only
a
very
few
cities
have
actually
required
lead
certification
of
all
development.
I
am
NOT,
encouraging
you
to
vote
no
against
this
ordinance,
rather
I'm,
encouraging
you
to
send
it
to
the
committee.
That
is
also
on
the
agenda
to
be
redrafted
into
a
more
workable
ordinance.
Thank
you.
R
R
R
Secondly,
I
want
to
address
some
of
the
press
that
has
been
circulating,
specifically
the
new
york
times
article
and
the
effectiveness
of
lead,
without
going
to
a
lot
of
detail
around
calculating
a
mean
versus
a
median
and
actually
having
read
the
actual
reports,
the
article
was
based
on
I
think
it
is
safe
to
say
yes,
with
over
1
billion
square
feet
of
lead
certified
construction.
Some
projects
you're
not
performing
as
well
as
they
should
be.
R
However,
you
look
at
the
data
roughly
one
and
every
three
at
one
in
every
three
projects
on
average
are
performing
better
I.
Recently,
read
a
report
doing
well
by
doing
good
green
office
buildings
by
the
University
of
California
Berkeley
published
this
august.
Two
thousand
nine.
This
paper
looked
at
the
economic
value
of
the
certification
of
green
buildings,
a
value
derived
from
impersonal
market
transactions
rather
than
engineering
estimates
for
some
10,000
subject:
property
and
control
buildings.
R
They
mesh
publicly
available
information
on
the
addresses
of
lead,
Energy
Star
and
lead
rated
office
buildings
to
the
characteristics
of
these
buildings,
their
rental
rates
and
selling
prices.
They
also
found
that
buildings
with
a
green
rating
command
rental
rates
that
are
roughly
three
percent
higher
per
square
foot
than
otherwise
identical,
building
controlling
for
the
quality
and
specific
location
of
the
office
but
office
buildings
selling
prices
were
roughly
sixteen
percent
higher,
so
good
news
for
developers,
not
such
good
news
for
actual
tenants.
R
Lastly,
I
just
sort
of
modify
things,
leadership
and
compromise,
even
though
I
believe
the
provisions
in
this
ordinance
are
not
very
overly
burdensome
to
the
development
community
through
our
very
few,
as
Joe
pointed
out.
Municipalities
that
have
any
such
building
code
now
as
a
chance
to
set
evenson
apart
and
in
a
good
way
is
lead
perfect.
No,
but
it's
just
start
now.
Is
this
the
ordinance
that
I
would
like?
No?
Is
it
the
ordinance
that
others
would
like?
No,
but
I
believe
is
written
it's
with
the
staff
recommendations.
It's
a
good
middle
ground.
Thank
you.
S
My
name
is
Morse
Kelly
I'm,
a
resident
of
Chicago.
I'm
I'm
here
to
address
the
peddler
ordinance.
I
want
to
thank
everyone
who
helped
to
table
amending
the
peddler
ordinance
if
the
peddler
ordinance
is
revisited,
I
would
like
to
be
allowed
to
participate
at
the
committee
level.
My
contact
information
is
available
through
my
license
application.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
T
Here
I
am
again
on
the
same
subject:
the
green
ordinance
I'm
a
25-year
Evanston
resident,
I'm
a
member
of
Attis
fats
properties.
We
do
small
scale
development
here
in
Evanston,
I'm,
also
a
partner
in
berry,
stats,
architects.
We
are
LEED
certified
and
have
limited
experience
in
this.
In
this
end,
at
the
last
council
meeting,
a
green
ordinance
committee
was
created
and
tonight
its
members
will
be
formally
appointed
thanks
in
advance
for
the
privilege
for
an
email
from
the
mayor
on
10
16
09.
T
We
are
supposed
to
bring
a
proposal
to
the
council
no
later
than
December.
First,
there
are
those
who
wish
to
exclude
adaptive,
reuse
and
interior
renovations
from
the
present
ordinance
draft
and
passed
the
balance,
as
is
I
strongly
disagree.
Let's
stick
to
the
December
first
deadline:
what's
the
hurry,
the
spark
agendas
have
been
thin
at
best,
with
meetings
being
canceled
due
to
lack
of
cases
on
a
regular
basis.
Projects
going
through
the
pipeline
deal
with
air
conditioning
condenser
locations
and
residential
additions,
nothing
of
any
real
scale
that
would
be
affected
by
this
ordinance.
T
We
are
all
well
aware
of
how
depressed
the
real
estate
market
is.
Everything
I
read
from
respected
sources,
points
to
additional
mass
failures
in
the
commercial
market
and
subsequent
foreclosures.
We
all
see
the
empty
stores
and
vacant
shopping
mall
spaces.
With
this
further
market
decline,
we
have
the
luxury
of
not
being
pressured
to
pass
an
incomplete,
non,
comprehensive
document.
Part
of
what
I
wish
to
personally
bring
to
this
new
committee
is
my
skill
in
creating
financial
computer
models
of
various
size
projects.
My
fellow
team
members
want
me
to
analyze
professionally.
T
I
am
equally
skilled
in
this,
as
well
as
design
work.
The
idea
is
that
we
will
be
able
to
see
how
any
of
our
ordinance
concepts
will
affect
a
project's
bottom
line.
It's
insane
to
pass
an
ordinance
that
that
until
this
is
done
and
the
stakeholders
understand
the
ramifications,
as
I
have
said
before
and
I,
don't
think
many
believe
it's
possible
to
create
an
ordinance
that
will
encourage
future
development.
Accomplishes
energy
conservation,
saves
money
for
the
end
user
and
reduces
our
carbon
footprint.
All
this
is
necessary
for
growth
and
evanston
and
needs
that
growth.
T
T
More
sentences,
thank
you.
Next
on
my
agenda
are
several
marginally
profitable
new
construction
projects
once
a
real
real
estate
market
improves
any
six
to
eight
percent
to
the
budget
without
a
way
to
recoup
those
costs
kills
the
projects,
it's
a
progressive
City.
We
need
to
understand
the
fit
between
money
and
technologies
are
in
their
infancy.
A
green
building
ordinance
is
not
America
actually
be
displayed
on
a
wall.
It
has
serious
ramifications
and
needs
to
be
treated
with
that
level
of
respect.
T
A
U
Good
evening,
members
of
the
council,
thank
you
for
having
us.
My
name
is
Michael
drennan,
I'm
manager
of
sales
for
DM
Systems
Incorporated,
a
small
firm
selling
wound
care
products
here
in
Evanston
for
the
past
25
years,
my
father,
Dennis
drennan
md,
invented
several
products
that
help
prevent
and
treat
bed
sores.
U
You
might
not
think
this
is
otherwise
related
to
the
green
building
ordinance.
However,
we
have
had
the
honor
and
the
privilege
of
reducing
costs
at
nursing
homes
and
hospitals
nationwide
over
the
past
25
years.
However,
these
facilities
are
now
not
simply
asking
us
to
provide
the
same
clinical
excellence
that
our
products
have
always
provided.
They
are
also
asking
us
to
perform
in
a
more
sustainable
fashion,
to
reduce
our
impact
on
landfills
and
to
reduce
our
impact
in
the
atmosphere
with
a
reduction
our
carbon
footprint.
Now
this
takes
several
different
elements.
U
One
of
those
is
product
development
which
we
are
currently
pursuing.
This
is
no
small
feat,
because
we
are
a
small
family-owned
business,
which
means
you're.
Looking
at
the
product
developer
right
here,
we've
got
a
bunch
of
different
hats,
typical
to
small
family
businesses,
and
the
other
of
those
hats
I
have
to
wear
is
finding
certifying
agencies
who
will
recognize
the
progress
our
company
is
making
in
performing
a
more
sustainable
fashion.
This
isn't
something
we
necessarily
drafted
on
our
own.
U
This
is
something
that
group
purchasing
organizations,
large
legal
entities
that
aggregate
the
purchasing
power
of
hospitals
and
nursing
homes
nationwide
are
requiring
of
us
they're
saying
if
you
want
to
bid
competitively
on
our
contracts,
you
have
to
demonstrate
that
you
are
acting
in
a
sustainable
fashion
as
a
business.
There
are
a
number
of
ways
we
can
do
that
and
making
sustainable
products
as
one
we're
pursuing
that
the
other
is
to
pursue
certification
through
some
third,
the
third
party-
and
there
are
a
number
of
those
available
practice-
green
health.
On
a
nationwide
level.
U
Here
in
evanston,
we
have
the
Business
Alliance
for
sustainable
evanston
I,
bring
all
this
up
just
letting
you
know
that
you're
not
alone
and
having
to
consider
these
measures
and
be
brought
up.
These
are
no
small
measures,
but
will
seriously
how
people
build.
How
people
renovate,
and
to
an
extent,
only
to
an
extent
how
people
live
if
folks
want
to
continue
having
bikini
parties
in
the
middle
of
New
Year's?
Well,
that's
their
business.
Not
yours!
U
Yours
is
to
define
the
tone
and
affect
the
agency
that
will
bring
our
kids
and
our
grandkids
a
more
sustainable
world,
so
in
closing,
I
just
want
to
say
that
if
you
want
to
help
small
businesses
like
mine,
one
way
you
could
do
it
is
by
setting
a
great
example
not
just
to
our
businesses
but
to
other
businesses
in
evanston
by
passing
something
like
the
green
building
ordinance
thanks
for
your
time.
Thank
you.
V
Good
evening
my
name
is
joe
hill
and
I
live
on
broadway
in
anniston
and
now
for
something
completely
different
I'm
here
to
urge
you
to
reject
ordinance,
95
desho
desho
9,
particularly
as
it
relates
to
changes
in
the
Central
Street

This
ordinance
relating
to
changes
in
that
district
is
based
on
inaccurate
and
not
good
information.

W
Yes,
ma'am
first
item
on
the
consent
agenda
is
approval
of
the
minutes
from
our
last
meeting,
and
then
we
have
a
request
from
administration,
Public
Works,
to
approve
the
evanston
city
payroll
through
October
11,
and
that
is
in
the
amount
of
two
million
three
hundred
eighteen
thousand
two
hundred
and
eighteen
dollars
and
ninety
four
cents.
We
ask
for
your
approval
of
a

the
city
of
Evanston
bills
through
October
27
2009,
in
the
amount
of
three
million
one
hundred
and
eighty
thousand
nine
hundred
fifty
four
dollars
and
ninety-nine
cents.
W
Then,
under
administration
of
Public
Works
we
have
approval
of
natural
gas
purchase
for
2009
through
2010,
we
received
a
bid
in
the
amount
of
six
dollars
and
twenty
cents
per
dekha
therm,
and
that
is
from
centerpoint
energy.
It
is
for
12
months
and
the
the
use
will
be
to
14
city
facilities.
Next
approval
for
a
contract
for
viaduct
screening,
which
is
a
3.2
that
is
in
the
amount
of
well
there's
an
error
here
and
I'm
just
going
to
correct
it
in
the
consent
agenda.
I
hope
you
all
accept
it.
W
It's
in
the
amount
of
thirty
thousand
thirty
dollars
fund
is
from
the
Capital
Improvement
Fund
in
the
amount
of
30,000
which
was
budgeted
for
this
project,
and
the
bid
goes
to
smithereens
s
management
services.
Next
is
a
general
wage
increase
for
all
full
and
permanent
part-time
non-union
employees.
The
Committee
recommends
that
you
approve
this.
It
is
in
the
amount
of
2%
and
really
simply
provides
parity
for
those
employees
who
are
not
part
of
an
organ

next

which
amends

chapter

the

intensity

The
city

has
requested
that
he
and
Northwestern
and
evanston
police
department
review
this
issue
and
report
back
to
us
after
the
basketball
season
ends
on
a
plan
to
control
the
pedestrian
issues.
W
A
N
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
We
had
two
items
with
respect
to
item
p1,
which
is
ordinance
9500
9am,
ending
an
enacting
section
to
the
zoning
ordinance
that
relate
to
townhouse
orientation
and
also
authorizing
major
variations
to
the
pedestrian
area
and
active
ground-floor
use
requirements
of
the
overlay
district
in
the
Central
Street
corridor.
N
What
the
committee
has
decided
is
that
we
should
move
forward
with
the
section
of
this
ordinance
that
relates
to
the
townhouse
orientation,
because
there
is
no
dispute
that
that
needs
to
be
corrected
in
our
ordinance
and
that
we
should
delete
the
two
sections
that
relate
to
the
overlay
district
on
the
central
street
corridor
and
have
those
studied
further
by
the
central
street
neighbors
and
the
zoning
department
in
order
to
make
more
appropriate
corrections.
So
I
would
move
first
that
we
delete
sections
to
subsection,
7
and
subsection
8.
Second,.
C
A
M
My
prior
motion
to
amend
the
ordinance
as
it's
currently
drafted
the
changes
I
would
like
to
make
are
too
well.
First
of
all,
let
me
say
I
think
it's
very
important
that
we
take
a
step
forward
here
and
actually
accomplish
something
and
getting
an
ordinance
drafted,
completed
and
approved.
This
isn't
the
perfect
ordinance
to
me.
M
I
understand
that
a
lot
of
work
has
gone
into
this
project
and
the
ordinance
is
close
to
where
we
need
it
to
be,
but
I
don't
feel
it's
quite
exactly
where
we
want
it
to
be.
With
regard
to
that
portion,
however,
with
regard
to
the
balance
of
the
ordinance
I
feel
it
is
appropriate
to
go
ahead
and
get
that
passed.
I
think
it's
important
to
do
this
now,
because
I
think
it's
crucial
to
get
the
to
the
clock
ticking.
M
My
other
proposed
amendment
is
in
line
with
what
the
city
staff
is
suggesting,
and
that
is
adding
a
section
8
that
accepts
certain
projects
that
are
basically
already
underway
or
people
have
relied
on
the
existing
building
code
in
taking
certain
actions.
So
by
adopting
something
today,
we
start
that
clock
ticking
if
we
were
to
delay
the
adoption
a
month,
two
months
six
months
a
year,
whatever
it
ends
up
being
anybody
who
comes
in
between
now
and
that
point
in
time
has
the
opportunity
to
be
excluded
from
the
effectiveness
of
the
ordinance
and
that's
what
I'm.
M
That's
why
I
view
it's
important
to
get
something
passed
today.
So,
with
those
points
in
mind,
I
move
that
we
pass
the
ordinance
or
I'm
sorry
we
amend
the
ordinance
has
drafted
to
remove
section
three
reserve,
that
section
for
future
for
future
use
and
add
the
new
section,
eight
that
the
city
staff
is
proposed.
I
would
suggest
a
small
modification
to
that
section:
8
subsection
B
after
the
word
position
to
add
the
languages
it
says
prior
to
the
effective
date
of
this
ordinance.
Just
so
it's
unequivocally
clear
as
to
when
that
person.
W
I'm
going
to
ask
that
you
not
approve
this
amendment
at
this
time,
because
I
don't
think
an
ordinance
that
sounds
like
from
those
who
are.
Proponents
is
going
to
get
an
awful
lot
of
press
because
it'll
be
one
of
the
few
paths
in
the
United
States
of
America,
and
it
should
not
be
fragmented.
It
should
not
be
piecemeal
and
that's
that's
what
we're
doing.
W
We
have
people
in
our
community
that
we've
just
appointed
to
a
committee
with
just
a
point
of
them.
We
told
them
that
they're
going
to
be
on
a
committee
to
help
draft
the
perfect
ordinance
I
want
the
perfect
ordinance
I,
don't
see
any
point
and
settling
for
something
half-baked,
I,
don't
believe
in
that.
W
There's
no
reason
to
pass
something
that
I
nobody
likes.
I've
heard
that
among
politicians
so
many
times.
This
must
be
great,
because
this
side
doesn't
like
it
and
that
side
doesn't
like
it.
So
what
that
means
to
me
is
you're
getting
the
mediocre
ordinance
that
nobody
likes
I
think
we
ought
to
table
this
to
a
date
certain
December
first,
if
that
is
a
monday,
I'm
not
sure.
Madam
mayor,
is
it
it's
not
a
council
Monday,
that's
for
sure.
Whatever
the
first
council
meeting
in
December
is
date,
certain
absolutely
no
exceptions
whatsoever.
W
The
ordinance
must
appear
before
the
council
voted
up
and
down
in
its
entirety
with
these
people
that
we
have
just
appointed
and
told
that
our
last
meeting
somebody
read
the
mayor's
letter,
saying
you
know,
congratulations
you're
going
to
be
on
the
committee.
People
thought
they
were
going
to
be
on
the
committee.
They
didn't
know
they
were
going
to
come
here
tonight
or
turn
on
their
TV
and
find
out.
Well,
we
don't.
W
We
don't
trust
you
two
to
handle
the
whole
ordinance,
so
we
want
to
push
something
through
because
it's
important
we
get
something
done
something
that
this
I
doesn't
like
and
that
site
doesn't
like.
Where
is
the
logic
in
that
when
we
have
experts
in
the
community
who
the
mayor
has
so
properly
appointed
to
serve
on
this
committee,
people
who
have
actually
built
things
in
this
town?
If.
X
X
A
W
Madam
ear
I,
I
think
it's
I
don't.
I
don't
feel
that
it's
fair
to
throw
that
motion
out
right
now.
I
I
think
if
people
want
to
talk
about
this
a
little
bit.
That's
fine,
but
I
think
the
the
prudent
thing
to
do
tonight
is
to
eventually
table
it
after
people
get
their
opinions
out.
There
is
a
motion
on
the
floor.
I,
you
know
my
mind,
isn't
thinking
Robert's
Rules
right
now,
I,
don't
know
if
a
motion
to
table
supersedes
a
motion
to
amend,
I'm,
not
sure.
A
W
M
And,
and
for
those
people
who
are
not
fully
aware,
the
proposed
ordinance
has
been
put
together
by
a
group
of
people
that
have
been
working
loss
working
on
that
for
an
extended
period
of
time.
It's
not
something.
That's
come
up
out
of
nowhere.
A
lot
of
people
have
worked
long
and
hard
on
the
proposed
ordinance,
and
you
know
people
say
you
know
you
compromise.
You
settle.
Both
people
go
away
unhappy,
I'm
content
with
this
as
a
compromise.
M
You
know
you're
going
to
have
some
people
that
are
unhappy
and
some
have
to
some
people
that
are
pleased,
but
I
feel
that
it's
very
important
to
actually
take
a
step
forward,
get
something
accomplished
and
taking
out
this
one
discrete
portion
of
what's
been
put
together
to
make
sure
that
that
does
fit
nicely
with
the
balance
of
the
ordinance,
which
stands
perfectly
perfectly
on
its
own
I.
Think
that's
the
most
appropriate
thing
to
do.
X
I'm
in
full
agreement
with
you
about
the
modifications
that
you
want
to
make,
but
it
doesn't
make
sense
for
us
to
move
forward
right
now,
since
we
just
appointed
a
committee
and
on
those
people
we
appointed
was
supposed
to
be
in
the
prior
committee
that
the
city
manager
was
supposed
to
pull
together.
Okay,
some
of
the
small
builders
were
supposed
to
take
part
in
that
process,
and
that
did
not
happen.
X
X
N
That's
the
heart
of
the
the
ordinance
in
terms
of
our
commitment
to
a
green
building
ordinance
and
with
respect
to
the
question
of
renovation.
What's
the
correct
size,
what
does
renovation
mean?
I
understand
those
concerns.
There
isn't
enough
definition.
That
portion
is
vague.
We
need
clarification
on
that,
but,
with
respect
to
the
other
portions
of
the
ordinance,
I
think
we're
all
very
clear
on
that.
So
I
I
would
agree
with
alderman
Wilson
that
we
send.
We
approve
the
ordinance
without
section
3,
and
also
with
the
additions
on
section
8,
as
recommended
by
the
staff
Thank.
C
Thank
you
Mary
to
sell,
as
many
of
you
know,
I've
been
a
strong
supporter
of
the
green
building
ordinance,
including
the
renovation
piece
of
it,
but
after
talking
with
the
environment
board
and
the
committee
I'm
willing
to
vote
for
this
piecemeal
approach
that
in
the
changes
to
it,
Steve
nning
I,
think
we
should
move
forward
with
that.
Someone
from
the
committee
said:
don't
let
the
perfect
be
the
enemy
of
the
good,
so
I
don't
know
that
we
will
get
it
perfect
and
I.
Don't
know
that
going
back
again
and
coming
back
December.
C
First,
we
will
have
a
perfect
ordinance
but
I'm
going
to
defer
to
alderman
Wilson
and
let's
get
something
on
the
books
and
hopefully
by
December.
First,
we
can
have
a
committee
that
will
look
at
the
renovations
but
I
think
portion
of
it.
We
need
to
be
very
clear
and
transparent
about
what
that
committee
will
be
doing
when
they're
meeting
can
other
people
show
up
to
that
meeting
and
what
they
will
be
delivering
to
us.
A
S
Y
You
Mary
to
us
all.
I
have
struggled
with
this.
As
many
of
us
have
it's
a
very
important
issue.
I
do
think
I
will
I,
don't
think
I
will
support
Alden
Wilson's
proposal
tonight
to
forward
this.
Without
these
section
three,
it
was
my
understanding
in
organizing
the
committee
to
address
the
ordinance
that
it
was
exactly
an
only
section
three
that
this
committee
was
to
address
whether
that
message
was
conveyed
to
the
committee
I'm,
not
how
clearly
it
was
conveyed,
I'm
not
sure,
but
that
was
my
understanding
and
I
support
the
amendment
as
amended.
A
I
think
I
could
answer.
That
was
my
understanding
that
if,
if
the
council
passed
the
green
building
ordinance
the
majority
of
it,
then
the
committee
would
work
on
section
three.
If
the
council
did
not
pass
the
majority
of
the
ordinance,
then
the
committee
would
work
on
the
entire
ordinance
without
knowing
what
the
council
was
going
to
do.
It
was
rather
hard
to
tell
the
committee
what
would
what
their
assignment
specifically
would
be.
W
I
think,
if
you
spoke
with
the
new
members
of
the
committee,
you
would
find
that
their
understanding
of
their
mission
was
much
different.
I
think
they
thought
they
were
going
to
be
able
to
have
input
on
all
of
the
ordinance,
not
just
the
little
piece
and
for
those
of
you
who
are
telling
the
new
members
of
this
committee,
the
people
who
actually
work
in
this
community
building
things,
you
will
find
that
they're
very
interested
in
the
new
construction
part
of
this
ordinance
very
interested
in
very
concerned
and
have
an
awful
lot
to
offer
this.
W
Isn't
this
isn't
something
that
I
am
very
surprised
by
the
urge
to
to
get
notoriety
here
to
get
something
passed?
I'm
really
disappointed
in
us
for
looking
at
this
ordinance
in
that
way,
as
opposed
to
the
best
possible
ordinance,
we
can
have
I'm
really
not
interested
in
being
one
of
the
top
25
cities
in
the
United
States
who
push
through
a
green
building
ordinance
or
at
least
part
of
one
I
I.
Don't
think
I,
don't
think
we're
honored
by
that
at
all
and
I
think
to
exclude
now
somebody
said,
let
me
go
back
up.
W
Somebody
said
this
group
has
worked
very
hard.
Yes,
they
have
worked
very
hard.
They've
worked
very
hard
on
the
ordinance
they've
brought
us
all.
Sorts
of
information,
they've
quoted
all
sorts
of
journals
and
newspapers,
but
the
people
who
are
on
the
street
who
have
been
doing
the
work
in
this
town.
Why
are
we
so
resistant
to
letting
them
have
a
conversation
and
input
about
the
entire
ordinance?
There
is
nothing
to
lose,
absolutely
nothing
to
lose
and
also,
I
think,
I
think,
the
the
david
olson.
W
The
contractor
has
had
just
some
brilliant
comments
to
make
on
this
matter,
and
I
am
surprised
that
we're
not
just
stepping
back
and
saying,
oh
my.
Why
are
we
going
to
do
this?
Why
aren't
we
going
to
listen
to
this
man?
I
think
we're
afraid
to
listen
to
them.
I
think
we're
afraid
to
hear
some
of
the
pitfalls
that
might
come
from
those
conversations.
W
So
I
am
going
to
move
to
table
this
until
the
first
meeting
in
December,
so
that
the
committee,
so
that
the
committee
that
I'm
going
to
explain
why,
so
that
the
committee
we
told
this
city
that
we
were
appointing
to
work
on
this
ordinance
can
do
that.
This
is
probably
the
first
time
we've
ever
appointed
a
committee
or
new
members
to
a
committee
and
then
pull
the
rug
out
from
under
them
and
said
surprised.
We
didn't
mean
that
we
didn't
mean
what
you
thought.

X
city
manager,
but
let
me
let
me
armed
caution
that
part
of
what
is
being
asked
for
is
to
give
the
evanston
police
department
in
northwestern
an
opportunity
to
justify
whether
or
not
they
need
the
spittle
azad
ordinance
and
I'm
hoping
that
we're
not
going
on
witch
hunt
trying
to
harass
folks
who
are
trying
to
make
a
living
just
to
establish
the
data
to
justify
coming
back
with
a
vengeance.
So
city
manager,
since
you
took
that
initiative,
and
since
our
Police
Department,
is
under
your
direction.
F
M
Just
like
to
remind
everyone,
pedestrian
and
cycling,
safety
remains
a
bit
of
concern,
and
probably
throughout
the
city,
but
of
particular
note
in
my
ward,
so
just
remind
everyone
if
you're
in
a
vehicle
be
sure
that
you're
particularly
attentive
to
kids,
walking
to
school
pedestrians
and
cyclists
and
an
alert
to
those
people
that
are
out
on
the
streets.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
L
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
First
I
want
to
extend
a
hearty
thank
you
to
alderman
homes
for
allowing
me
to
ride
shotgun
with
her
on
a
tour
5th
Ward
last
week,
our
5th
Ward,
and
for
sharing
her
insights
about
the
variety
and
the
challenges
and
the
assets
in
our
fifth
Ward.
So
thank
you
from
me
and
from
my
intern,
Christian
Sorenson,
for
the
opportunity
to
spend
time
with
you
in
5th
Ward,
neighborhoods
and
I
look
forward
to
the
prospect
of
a
joint
Ward
meeting
as
well.
L
This
weekend
brings
Halloween
and
our
sidewalks
will
be
filled
with
pedestrians
and
trick
or
treaters
between
four
and
seven.
Please
take
care
watch
for
trick-or-treaters,
and
especially
in
North
Evanston,
where
our
sidewalks
will
be
filled
as
well
with
Northwestern
and
Penn
State
Vance,
because
Halloween
coincides
with
the
northwestern
Penn
State
football
games.
So
please
be
especially
mindful
of
additional
pedestrians
in
traffic,
let's
rise
to
the
occasion
and
look
out
for
each
other
on
Halloween
on
Saturday.
Thank
you,
madam
air
Thank.
X
W
Will
be
logical
and
will
be
meaningful
and
that
will
be
workable.
You
know
the
theory
is
wonderful,
but
the
reality
is
frequently
a
different
things,
so,
hopefully
with
people
who
actually
do
this
kind
of
work
involved
in
in
working
on
what
is
left
of
the
of
the
ordinance
I
think
it
might
produce
a
really
nice
ordinance,
so
I
just
hope
that
we
all
know
when
they're
going
to
be
meeting
and
that
our
staff
encourages
them
to
several
times
at
least
please.
