A
C
B
D
A
D
A
Okay,
thank
you
sorry,
yeah!
It's
as
if
I've
never
been
in
one
of
these
before
so
our
I.
So
we
have
several
items
for
the
agenda
tonight.
The
first
one
is
p1
renewal
of
contract
for
landlord
tenant
services
with
the
much
metropolitan
tenants
organization
and
lawyers
committee
for
better
housing
for
october
1
2020
to
december
31,
2021.
A
Yeah,
I'm
I'm
operating
from
my
paper
calendar
paper
copy
and
it
doesn't
have
that
in
it.
But
that's!
Okay.
Do
I
have
a
motion
regarding
the
minutes
of
the
the
last
meeting
which
I
the
date
I
do
approval
move.
E
A
Perfect
ms9,
would
you
call
the
roll.
B
Sure
alderman
fisk
alderman
win.
A
B
D
A
So
the
minutes
are
approved.
Thank
you
all.
So
now
we'll
move
on
to
item
p1.
This
is
the
renewal,
the
contract
for
landlord
tenant
services
with
metropolitan
tenants
organization
from
october
1,
2020
to
december
31
2021
the
length
of
that
time.
The
extra
length
of
that
time
is
to
make
it
align
with
the
city's
fiscal
year,
and
my
understanding
is
that
sarah,
you
have
a
presentation
for
us.
F
I
do
let
me.
F
H
F
All
right
now,
I've
got
to
see
if
I
can
get
this
in
the
mode,
so
you
can
actually
see
it.
So
this
is
just
a
brief
summary
of
our
current
year
contract
and
as
background
and
results
of
what
kind
of
calls
and
cases
we've
been
seeing
really
quickly.
Our
landlord-tenant
program
is
provided
by
metropolitan
tennis
organization
and
lawyers
committee
for
better
housing
services
include
guidance
to
landlords
and
tenants
provided
via
the
hotline,
trainings,
doing
draft
letters
and
negotiation
assistance
on
the
various
things
that
come
up
in
landlord
and
tenant
relationships.
F
We
also
get
the
staff
get
updates
on
national
and
state
policy
and
legislative
changes
that
could
affect
what
we
are
doing.
It's
been
specifically
very
helpful
when
we're
dealing
with
all
of
the
moratoria
that
are
going
on
for
evictions
right
now
and
their
mediation
tenant,
organizing
and
legal
representation
of
low
income.
Tenants
is
also
part
of
the
contract,
really
quickly
2020
cases,
information,
and
this
is
actually
the
11
months
of
the
current
contract.
F
F
Total
cases
so
we're
our
monthly
average
is
almost
37
cases
per
month,
rather
than
the
30
we
were
estimating.
So
that's
a
34
increase
over
prior
year
we're
seeing
some
differences
in
the
types
of
cases
that
we're
seeing
as
well.
So
what
this
chart?
F
I'm
showing
you,
because
I
want
to
show
you
how
we
track
and
how
we're
going
to
report
on
a
quarterly
basis
to
the
housing
and
homelessness
commission
who
have
already
seen
this
information,
so
they'll
be
regularly
seeing
the
results,
and
then
we
will
bring
additional
information
to
council
just
as
a
report,
so
that
you
are
also
aware
of
what's
going
on
so
the
two,
the
409
total
cases
so
far
in
this
contract
year,
as
I
say,
averaging
37
cases
per
month,
that
is
a
34
increases
versus
the
same
period
in
a
prior
contract
year.
F
In
addition,
we
did
three
trainings.
They
were
all
via
zoom
and
they
were
all
focused
on
train
on
changes
due
to
code
in
19..
Two
of
them
were
focused
on
tenants.
One
was
in
english
and
one
was
in
spanish
and
we
had
great
help
from
our
staff,
including
including
paulina
martinez,
on
that
she
was
one
of
our
hosts.
We
also
hosted
one
for
landlords
and
property
managers,
and
those
recordings
are
on
the
city
website.
F
Sessions-
and
this
may
be
the
best
way
to
get
information
out
in
this
case
percentage
of
cases
by
type
you
know,
some
of
the
things
that
continue
to
be
the
highest
ones
are
maintenance
and
lease
questions.
F
So
it's
a
little
bit
hard
to
read
this,
but
you
can
see
the
range
of
different
types
of
cases.
Another
piece
of
information,
most
cases
are
initiated
by
tenants,
landlords
cases
that
are
initiated
by
landlords
make
up
about
seven
percent
of
the
total,
although
I
think
that
you
may
be
seeing
a
little
bit
of
an
increase
and
the
questions
that
are
more
common
from
landlords
relate
to
security
deposit
interest.
That's
always
everybody's
always
trying
to
figure
out
how
the
security
deposit
interest
can
actually
be
as
low
as
it
is
because
it's
almost
non-existent.
F
You
know
notices
to
tenants
things
like
that,
but
more
recently
also
more
questions
about
eviction,
moratoria
and
and
what
what
they
can
do
under
clogged
19.
You
know
entry
to
tenants
units
that
sort
of
stuff,
so
we
are
seeing
some
changes.
Significant
changes
this
year
over
last
in
questions
about
eviction
cases.
Now
that
is,
of
course,
largely
due
to
the
code
of
19
and
people
not
being
able
to
pay
rent
disturbances.
We've
also
seen
an
increase
in
calls
about
disturbances
and
utility
payments
and
early
termination.
F
What
are
consistent
still
are
the
top
two
categories
overall
continue
to
be
maintenance
and
lease
questions
which
compromise,
which
comprise
42
percent
of
cases,
and
there
is
some
seasonality
in
the
types
of
cases,
and
we
haven't
seen
huge
changes
in
that,
but
we
are
proposing
this
year
is
a
15-month
contract
that
will
run
from
october
of
this
year
through
december
31st
of
next
year
in
the
not
to
exceed
amount
of
87
500.
F
This
is
actually
the
same
amount
on
a
per
quarter
basis
of
17
500,
but
covers
five
quarters,
even
though
we
don't
necessarily
bill
it
on
that
exact
17
17500
base
scope
of
work,
which
is
the
ongoing
support
services
for
landlords
and
tenants
through
all
the
different
media
we
talked
about
and
the
trainings
is,
would
be
divided
out
over
the
five
quarters
and
build.
F
Partly
well.
First
and
foremost,
we've
seen
a
pretty
substantial
increase
in
cases
the
from
30
on
average
a
month
to
37,
but
also
because
that
is
just
you
know,
the
ongoing
need
we
expect
is
going
to
be
continue
to
increase
in
the
near
term
because
of
all
of
the
challenges
and
changes
due
to
cover
19..
F
We
do
expect
we
did
not
use
much
of
the
sort
of
as
needed
services
the
the
services
that
are
billed
as
they
are
incurred,
the
mediation
tenant,
organizing
and
legal
representation
in
court,
and
part
of
that
is,
you
know
we.
F
The
courts
were
shut
down
starting
in
march,
so
some
of
the
things
that
would
likely
have
proceeded
to
court
have
not
yet
done
so,
but
we
do
expect
that
mediation
and
legal
representation
in
court
will
certainly
those
needs
are
going
to
be
picked
up
and
those
dollars
will
be
expended
in
the
next
contract
period
or
once
all
of
the
moratoria
burn
off,
and
that
will
be
a
big
change
from
last
year.
F
So
those
are
the
that's
my
presentation
and
if
there
are
any
questions
I
also
have,
I
believe
both
mark
schwartz
and
john
bartlett
are
available
to
answering
questions.
Does
anyone.
A
Okay
and
johanna:
we,
we
don't
have
anyone
who
signed
up
to
speak
for
this
correct.
A
A
A
All
right,
thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you,
sarah
again
and
thank
you
to
the
mto
for
all
of
that
good
work.
I've
referred
to
a
number
of
my
residents
to
them.
So
now
we're
going
to
move
on
to
item
p2.
A
Second
I'll
move
approval
all
right.
Thank
you.
I
understand
miss
knight
and
we
have
several
speakers
who'd
like
to
speak
on
this.
B
Sure,
yes,
we
do
chris
abermate
peter
miller
and
sean
jones
in
that
order.
A
All
right:
well,
let's
start
with
chris
abernathy.
Well,
you
have
two
minutes.
I
Thank
you
I
last
year
in
december,
we
first
learned
that
the
the
developer
was
asking
to
subdivide
the
land
we
put
together
a
presentation
that
outlines
some
civil
engineering
concerns
that
the
neighborhood
had
about
subdividing
the
land
and
building
on
that
property
that
had
to
do
with
water
management
and
extreme
increases
in
the
amount
of
traffic
on
a
narrow,
unpaved
alley.
That
is
the
only
means
of
ingress
or
egress
to
the
property.
I
A
Okay,
mr
miller,
are
you
with
us.
J
Yes,
ma'am.
I
just
wanted
to
second,
my
colleague
mr
van
arment's
comments
and
note
that
if
the
resolution
has
framed
is
approved,
it
will
cause
significant,
irreversible,
negative
effects
on
the
colfax
street
ridge,
avenue,
neighborhood
and
the
resolution
any
resolution
subdividing
the
property
needs
to
deal
with
the
traffic
and
the
flooding
issues
that
threaten
the
neighborhood
if
the
if
the
subdivision
is
approved,
the
current
resolution
simply
ignores
these
issues.
J
Finally,
any
resolution
to
incorporate
the
exist.
Any
resolution
that
you
would
consider
should
incorporate
the
existing
covenant
of
agreement
in
perpetuity
between
the
city
and
the
owner
of
2404
ridge
avenue.
This
covenant
covers
the
entire
property,
including
the
sub.
The
portion
that's
supposed
to
be
subdivided.
J
H
H
H
What
I
was
proposing-
and
I
was
hopeful
that
you
would
consider-
is
that
we
either
remove
these
conditions
and
allow
this
to
go
forward
or
we
pull
it
and
we
discuss
because
this
piece
of
the
alley
has
been
used
by
the
city
for
quite
some
time.
Apparently,
the
alley
is
rather
narrow
and
garbage
trucks
cannot
turn
without
using
a
portion
of
my
client's
property
to
turn
onto
this
alley.
H
H
I
do
not
believe
it's
appropriate
for
the
city
or
legal
for
the
city
to
require
him
to
give
a
piece
of
his
property
in
order
to
subdivide
that
is
appropriate
if
it
is
absolutely
necessary
for
the
city
to
deliver
services,
but
that's
clearly
not
the
case
here,
because
the
city's
been
using
this
piece
of
the
alley
for
a
while.
It's
not
appropriate
and
caused
by
this
subdivision
and
there's
case
law
on
that
point,
which
I've
shared
with
at
least
alderman
wilson.
H
H
We
do
not
have
any
trouble
at
all
with
locating
the
sewer
as
part
of
the
subdivision.
That's
condition
c
no
issue
with
that,
and
the
the
confirming
the
well
has
been
capped.
We
don't
have
any
problem
confirming
of
wealth
caps,
so
condition
d
is
not
going
to
be
a
problem
either,
but
I
do
think
it
makes
sense
for
us
to
meet
with
the
city
to
try
and
see
what
we
can
do
about
this
piece
of
the
alley.
A
All
right,
thank
you,
committee
discussion.
D
We'll
to
go
first
to
the
suggestion
that
we
have
some
discussion,
I
mean
we've
been
having
discussions
for
easily
a
couple
of
years.
I
think
over
the
alley
and
other
issues
with
this
property.
So
I'm
I'm
not
sure
that
additional
discussions
are
going
to
be
productive.
But
what
I'd
really
like
to
address
first
is
my
serious
concerns
about
granting
this
subdivision
the
as
you've
heard
already
from
a
couple
of
the
neighbors.
The
access
to
this
property
is
through
a
very
narrow,
unpaved
alley.
D
It's
used
heavily
by
pedestrians,
many
of
them
children
on
their
way
to
leahy
park
and
the
golf
course
it's
currently
the
it's,
the
access
for
the
residents
for
the
main
house,
the
2
404
ridge,
main
house
and
since
there's
no
on-street
parking
on
ridge.
It's
also
the
access
for
any
visitors
to
the
house.
D
And
then,
if
there
were
a
new
house
built
on
a
new
lot
too,
those
residents
and
their
guests
would
also
have
to
use
the
alley
to
say
nothing
of
all
the
construction
vehicles
that
would,
it
would
be
pretty
horrendous
for
the
neighbors
to
have
to
live
through
the
traffic,
the
construction
traffic
for
any
kind
of
house
that
would
be
built
on
lab
two
and
then
going
to
the
whole
concern
about
the
view.
Easement.
D
That's
one
of
the
conditions,
the
condition
that
the
preservation
commission
suggested
so
in
in
the
statement
of
significance
for
making
the
this
property
the
a
landmark
it
talks
about
how
it
the
main
house
gains
additional
importance
from
its
conspicuous
site,
atop
a
rise
in
the
land,
a
common
location
for
early
early
settlers
houses
when
these
were
available,
and
so
a
new
house
on
lot
too,
even
with
the
generous
front
yard
setback
that
this
condition
view
easement
condition
would
require,
would
really
intrude
on
the
pastoral
setting
of
the
of
this
landmark
house
and
its
barn
and
the
view
easement
is
really
essential.
D
The
the
if
you
walk
along
ridge
avenue
coming
to
the
house
from
the
south,
you
get
a
wonderful
view
of
the
farmhouse
across
lot
across
what
would
be
lot
too.
So
any
any
house
that
would
be
built
there
would
have
to
be
set
way
back
in
order
to
preserve
that
view.
Easement
of
the
main
house.
C
Okay,
so
here's
here's,
I'm
struggling
with
a
few
things
here.
The
first
thing
is
that
we're
being
asked
to
vote
on
a
resolution
to
do
this
subdivision,
but
it's
not
actually
the
subdivision
that
the
applicant
is
asking
for
see
what
I'm
saying
so
you
know
he's
asking
for
x
without
these
conditions
and
we're
voting
on.
Why
which
is
something
different
than
what
he's
asking
for
so
like
that,
doesn't
make
enough
sense
to
me.
Yes,
so
you
know
whether
we
voted
up
or
down.
You
know
it's
not
even
what
he
asked
for.
C
C
You
know
when
I
first
you
know:
first
got
wind
of
it
and
first
you
know
glanced
at
it
before
my
assumption
was
that
this
was
something
that
had
been
worked
out
and-
and
there
was
an
understanding
on
that-
and
I
understand
that
there's
been
very,
very
extensive
conversations,
a
lot
of
iterations
of
what
this
could
might
or
might
not
be,
and
but
it's
it's
clear
that
there's
not
what
I'll
call
a
meeting
of
the
binds
on
you
know
what
the
applicant's
looking
for
and
then
what
the
staff
is
suggesting
and
then
there's
doesn't
even
seem
to
be
necessarily
a
meaning
of
the
minds
on
as
proposed.
C
So
you
know
is
from
the
applicant's
perspective,
this
isn't
what
the
apple
can
apply
for.
C
C
Mean
I
I
so
that's
the
problem,
I'm
not
sure
what
to
do
with
it.
You
know
the
the
I
think
the
applicant's
council
is
here,
I'm
not
sure
if
the
applicant
is
here
as
well,
but
maybe
if
mr
jones
could
just
you
know,
confirm
you
know
one
way
or
the
other
from
my
understanding
is
correct,
that
this
is
not
this
resolution
isn't
what
the
and
I
think
your
public
comment
made
clear.
This
resolution
isn't
what
the
applicant
is
asking
for
correct.
H
Yeah
this
was
not
what
was
applied
for
these
conditions
were
not
part
of
the
application.
I
would
suggest
that
this
should
be
held
to
give
us
time
to
discuss
with
the
city
the
best
way
to
approach
it
to
deal
with
these
conditions,
because
once
we
deal
with
the
conditions
we'll
be
ready
to
go,
thank
you
and.
C
A
Alderman
wilson,
I
have
aldman
rusiman's
hand
and
also
the
staff
has
indicated
that
this
has
been
held
once
so.
I
believe
then
we
couldn't
hold
it
a
second
time,
but
we
could
table
it
to
a
date.
Certain
okay.
E
Yeah
to
autumn
to
ottoman
wilson's
point
more
clarification
on
what
we're
voting
on.
What's
the
goal,
what's
the
expectation
of
the
resident
and
if
we
could
table
it
to
a
date
certain
to
get
those
answers,
maybe
the
residence
council
needs
to
speak
to
our
law
department
or
maybe
ottoman
reveal,
but
it's
not
clear
on
what
the
ask
is.
C
C
A
Yes,
okay,
I
see
that
point
and
I
would
agree
with
that.
I
think
that
we
I
mean.
Certainly
we
could
hear
that
what
the
staff
recommended
to
them,
but
if
they
were
unwilling
to
accept
that,
then
we
would
vote
up
or
down
on
what
they
what
they
had
originally
asked
for
or
what
they
wanted
wanted
in
the
end.
So
and
then
then
it
would
be
clear
that
either
that
we
didn't
agree
with
their
goal
or
or
we
did
so
with
that.
A
Would
someone
like
to
make
a
motion
to
table
this
to
a
date
certain
we
could
do.
I'm
sorry,
I'm
just.
A
So
are
we
looking
at
october
26,
mr
jones?
Is
that
doable
and
the
staff
is
that.
H
That
they
would
be
fine
with
me,
my
client,
I
don't
know,
but
I'm
certain
that
I
could
meet
with
my
client
and
represent
my
clients
when
we
were
having
when
we
would
have
a
meeting.
G
A
All
right
law
department,
mr
cushing,
what
do
you
are
comments?
Sorry,
what
do
what
do
I'm
looking
at
all
these
names
and
misreading?
Would
you
like
more
time.
K
I
think
I
think
october
26th
is
fine.
I
think
what
really
needs
to
happen
is
we
need
to
catch
mr
jones,
up
on
the
history
of
what's
been
going
on
with
this,
mr
jones,
no
offense
to
you.
You
are
probably
the
third
attorney
we've
dealt
with
with
respect
to
this
property
and
that's
and
I've
only
been
with
the
city
of
evanston
since
january,
so
that
doesn't
even
account
for
the
people
that
have
dealt
with
this
property
when
michelle
mason
cup
was
the
corporation
council.
K
I
honestly
cannot
tell
you
how
this
particular
resolution
came
about,
but
I'm
sure
that
will
be
discussed
as
well.
A
Would
it
be?
Is
it
possible
ms
knighton,
if
they
are
not
prepared
to
go
forward
on
the
26th,
that
maybe
mr
jones,
just
this-
is
a
little
too
much
information
for
him
to
digest
that
they
could
change
it
to
the
9th
november
9th
then
or
once
we
set
the
date?
Certain
is
that
is
that
in
concrete.
B
Would
recommend
that
in
this
matter
we
set
a
date?
Certainly
we
stick
to
it
because
this
this
particular
item
has
many
moving
parts
and
they've
had
multiple
meetings
and,
as
you
understand,
there's
many
neighbors
that
are
concerned
about
the
outcome.
So
I
think
in
fairness
to
all
we
set
a
date
and
we
stick
to
it.
A
Okay,
alderman
ravel
is
there?
Would
you
like
to
chime
in
on
this.
D
Well,
why
don't
we
be
extra
generous
and
go
with
that?
First,
that
date
in
november,
then.
A
A
G
A
So
that's
all
of
our
items
for
consideration,
and
now
we
have
items
for
discussion.
This
is
pd
d1
regulations
regarding
the
occupancy
of
dwelling
units,
including
the
definition
of
family
staff,
recommends
that
we
have
this
discussion
and
staff
is
seeking
feedback
for
from
us.
A
C
Thank
you.
I
had
made
a
reference
before
to
talk
about
the
the
three
unrelated
ordinance,
and
you
know
this
obviously
goes
back
to
a
long-running
conversation
that
we've
been
having
one
of
the
threshold
questions
that
causes
me
concern
about.
This
is
that
what
we're
doing-
and
this
is
in
the
memo
a
little
bit
but
the
you
know,
our
analysis
of
occupancy
of
dwelling
units
is
based
on
a.
C
I
don't
want
to
call
it
an
arbitrary
definition
of
family,
but
it's
based
on
a
definition
of
family,
and
I'm
not
really
comfortable
with
that.
I
feel
like
occupancy,
should
be
more
focused
on
the
configuration
of
the
structure
and
the
actual
occupancy
and
numbers
of
people
that
are
occupying
the
space.
C
That
seems
to
be
more
directly
related
to
to
safety,
to
potentially
addressing
a
lot
of
these
fairly
serious
neighborhood
concerns,
and
I
also
don't
feel
comfortable
with
the
idea
of
you
know
getting
into
you
know
people's
personal
relationships.
You
know
I
don't
want.
You
know
a
complaint
to
result
in
a
in
a
household
having
to
you
know,
justify
and
explain
their
familial
relationships.
I
don't
really
feel
like
the
government
has
a
lot
of
business
doing
you
know
that
level
of
analysis
or
scrutiny.
C
You
know
this
is
a
you
know.
It's
a
bigger
conversation.
I
think
what
should
be
a
part
of
that
conversation
should
include.
C
The
the
tools
that
we
either
have
or
need
to
have
in
place
to
address
the
concerns
of
the
neighborhoods
that
are
that
are
struggling
with
some
of
these
problems
with
with
over
occupancy
in
spaces.
These
are
significant
and
serious
concerns,
and
I
hear
those
but
but
the
three
unrelated
ordinance
isn't
addressing
that.
The
problems
persist.
It
persisted
for
a
long
time
and
we
need
to
be
doing
something
that
actually
is
going
to
end
up
being
effective.
C
So
I
think
that
any
of
the
changes
with
regard
to
this
ordinance
have
to
come
with
a
you
know
some
clear
direction
on
how
these
problems
are
going
to
get
addressed.
So
so
I
would
like
to
further
explore
this
next
time
it
kind
of
comes
across
our
plate.
We've
got
a
lot
of
materials
from
prior.
You
know
discussions
and
considerations
on
that
I'd
like
to
see
those
materials
compiled,
so
we
can
kind
of
see
you
know
where
we've
come
and
where
we've
been
so
we're
not
re-inventing
any
wheels.
C
But
you
know
that's,
that's
my
you
know.
That's
my
general
concern.
A
Alderman
fisk.
L
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Well,
I'm
I'm
fine
with
taking
a
look
at
that
and
I
I
don't
think
it's
gonna
solve
the
problem
that
alderman
wilson's
talking
about
in
terms
of
occupancy,
but
I
I
do
believe
in
director
knight
and
if
you
can
tell
me
if
my
my
belief
is
true-
that
when
we
look
at
changing
family
of
three
unrelated,
that
that
really
needs
to
go
in
the
plan.
Commission
for
discussion
and
study.
Is
that
correct.
B
L
So
I
I'd
be
I'd,
be
comfortable
in
making
it
the
the
referral
for
the
plan
provision.
C
C
You
know
how
we're
addressing
occupancy
so,
in
other
words,
getting
away
from
this
definition
of
family
and
looking
at
you
know,
looking
at
the
actual,
like
numbers
and
configurations
of
the
spaces,
so.
C
Well,
I
just
I,
I
want
to
be
more
fair
than
just
send
it
to
them
with
the
idea
to
look
at
the
definition
of
family
to
me,
you.
G
A
A
D
D
Here's
the
word
family
again,
but
one
one
idea,
for
example,
I'd
be
interested
in
there
considering
home,
sharing,
whether
that's
something
that
we
want
to
make
possible,
because
I'm
not
sure
that
we
allow
that
in
the
current
ordinance.
So
whatever
you
have,
the
plan
commission
take
a
broad
look
at
different
types
of
housing
that
will
address
a
lot
of
affordability,
issues
that
we've
been
thinking
about
and
as
well
as
address
the
concerns
that
we're
hearing
from
neighbors
in
certain
parts
of
our
community.
E
And
I
wasn't
sure
if
I
know
that
ottoman
rainey
said
we
weren't,
we
weren't
really
challenging
family
status,
but
I
want
to
make
sure
when
it
goes
to
that
next
commission,
that
that
is
included
on
how
you
identify
and
define.
Rather,
your
family
want
to
make
sure
that
that
is
included
as
well.
L
Right-
and
I
mean
just
just
to
be
clear-
our
our
code
does
define
family
now
and
and
the
plan
commission,
I'm
sure,
will
we'll
take
a
look
at
that
and
and
what
they
just
need
is
direction
from
from
us.
L
But
I
I
I
think
this
is
a
a
perfect
example
of
something
that
has
tentacles
throughout
our
policy
documents
and
and
I
I
don't
feel
that
we
as
a
council
are
the
the
experts
in
putting
all
these
pieces
together.
I
think
staff
and
the
plan
commission
are
and
bring
that
back
to
us
in
in
response
to
our
direction.
So
I
I
feel
that
that
is
the
right
way
to
go
and,
and
frankly,
that's
the
legal
way
to
go
so.
A
Well,
as
chair
I'll
just
say,
I
I
agree
with
that.
I
think
it
needs.
You
know.
This
is
something
that
we
have
been
discussing
in
one
form
or
another
for
quite
a
while,
and
the
the
problems
do
continue
and
actually
it
sounds
like
they've
accelerated
a
little
bit.
A
So
I
I
would
hope
that
the
plan
commission
looks
at
maintaining
community
because
I
think
that's
one
of
the
things
that
we
seem
to
hear
from
the
the
neighbors
who
live
in
that
area
is
that
it's
it
isn't
necessarily
individual
students
or
the
fact
that
students
live
near
them,
but
it's
the
concentration
and
then
the
sense
of
loss
of
community
that
they
have.
So
I
I
think
that
bundled
within
all
of
this-
and
I
think
home
sharing
is,
is
a
very
good
idea.
We
have
these.
A
You
know
enormous
houses,
sometimes
and
certainly
there's
room
for
home
sharing,
and
there
are
lots
of
different
definite
ways
that
people
define
families
and
there's
there's
law
on
on
how
you
define
a
family
and
that
it
cannot
be
too
restrictive.
A
So
I
think
that
that
it
is
worth
a
deep
dive
on
the
part
of
the
plan.
Commission
and
also
to
include
then,
how
do
we
address
these
issues
that
we
continually
have
of?
I
don't
want
to
use
the
word
blight,
but
you
know:
community
the
loss
of
community
and
loss
of
maintenance
of
homes
and
and
all
of
the
things
that
we've
heard
from
the
neighbors.
C
And-
and
I
just
you
know-
I
personally
feel
like
if
we
can
get
away
from
this.
This
idea
of
the
three
unrelated
rule,
which
hasn't
had
the
impact
or
the
effect
to
solve
the
legitimate
problems
and
potentially
has
the
effect
of
of
creating
harm.
C
But
if
we
can
get
back
to
the
idea
of
looking
at
at
the
physical
capacity
of
both
the
actually
buildings,
the
dwelling
units,
the
homes
and
the
neighborhood,
I
think
that's
the
more
appropriate
way
to
look
at
that
and
not
to
look
at
that
free
unrelated
aspect
of
it,
or
it
at
least
not
focus
on
that
as
the
as
trying
to
use
that
as
a
tool.
A
All
right
did
someone
already
russians
or
or
ann
alderman
rainey.
Were
you
going
to
make
the
referral.
G
I'm
referring
the
matter
of
three
unrelated
to
the
planned
commission
for
a
full
study
on
how
we
should
go
forward
in
in
alleviating
that
restriction.
L
A
G
C
C
A
All
right
and
then
we
are,
we
have
one
item
for
communication
pdc,
one
mobility
in
the
time
of
covid19.
L
B
Remember
when
we
have
a
brief
presentation
from
our
transportation
mobility
coordinator,
jessica
heink,
there
have
been
a
handful
of
questions
that
many
of
you
had
and
others
about.
What's
going
on
with
public
transportation
and
other
mobility
issues
over
the
past
six
months
in
the
pandemic,
and
some
interesting
trends
have
emerged,
so
we
thought
it
was
the
best
to
bring
to
the
planning
and
development
committee
to
keep
you
all
in
the
loop
of
these
things.
G
A
M
Okay,
so
tonight
I'm
going
to
discuss
mobility
and
the
time
of
covet
19
and
how
it
relates
to
riding
public
transit,
bicycle
mobility,
the
new
delivery
economy
and
re-envisioning
the
public
right-of-way.
M
A
lot
of
this
probably
seems
very
obvious
to
many
of
you.
However,
while
many
of
us
have
access
to
a
personal
vehicle
or
a
bicycle,
there
are
others
who
do
not
have
that
access
and
cannot
choose
to
work
from
home
and
do
not
have
the
ability.
These
are
essential
workers.
These
are
people
who
need
to
get
to
medical
appointments
or
get
their
groceries,
and
they
do
rely
on
public
transit
and
while
and
so
like.
M
I
said,
while
these
recommendations
may
seem
obvious
I'd
like
to
chat
about
what
is
happening
internationally,
and
so
you
know,
we
have
requirements
to
wear
masks
when
we're
in
public,
but,
as
you
can
see
in
that
lower
photo,
absolutely
everyone
is
wearing
a
mask
and
that's
because
people
cannot
enter
this
subway
platform
and
gua
xiao
without
having
a
mask
on
and
that
is
enforced.
M
Recently
in
new
york,
they
passed
a
fine
so
that
if
you
enter
the
subway
station,
you
without
a
mass,
you
will
be
fined,
but
other
countries
are
taking
it
a
step
further
in
beijing
in
the
the
top
two
corners
or
two
top
two
photos.
Excuse
me
there
are
temperature
checks
and
thermal
sensors
to
identify
if
somebody
should
not
be
getting
on
the
train
and
then
there
are
isolation
areas
at
many
stations
throughout
china
actually
to
for
people
to
go
to
if
they
do
have
a
temperature
and
should
not
be
riding
public
transit.
M
All
of
this
has
resulted
in
a
very
high
confidence
level
in
transit
in
other
international
in
other
countries
throughout
the
world,
and
so
we
are
seeing
ridership
increase
at
a
more
significant
rate
than
in
the
us,
because
there
are
all
of
these
measures
that
are
adding
a
lot
of
confidence
level
in
the
transit
system
locally.
I'm
going
to
talk
about
some
small
projects
first
and
then
I'll
move
on
some
larger
projects
that
are
being
implemented
that
do
have
impacts
on
covid19
and
then
transit
ridership
in
general.
M
The
first
I'd
like
to
tell
you
about
is
an
rta
grant
that
the
city
has
received
for
approximately
270
000
dollars
that
will
help
the
city
implement
accessible
bus
stops
at
all
bus
stops
in
evanston.
This
will
allow
for
social
distancing,
as
you
can
see,
at
the
photo
of
a
bus
stop
on
ridge
at
green
leaf.
There
isn't
really
a
lot
of
area
to
stand
at
that
bus,
stop
in
order
to
social
distance
and
so
having
bus,
stop.
M
Pads
won't
only
be
accessible
for
people
who
use
an
assistive
device
like
a
wheelchair
or
have
a
stroller
or
a
grocery
cart.
It
will
also
help
people
just
maintain
their
distance,
and
they
won't
also
have
to
flag
the
bus
to
stop
the
bus
will
just
automatically
stop
for
them.
Now.
M
This
project
is
starting
with
a
study
to
evaluate
the
purple
line
in
evanston
and
part
of
chicago,
because
it's
beyond
its
useful
life-
and
this
means
that
the
the
stations
will
be
lengthened
this,
which
will
allow
longer
train
cars,
and
we
need
longer
train
cars
to
support
growing
ridership
on
the
red
purple
line,
but
also
right
now,
so
that
people
can
actually
social
distance.
We
have
fewer
cars
running
on
the
purple
line
than
we
do
on
other
train
lines
in
evanston.
M
This
first
study
is
actually
a
1.3
million
project.
It's
quite
costly
to
do
this
kind
of
evaluation
and
then
the
first
phase
of
the
red
line,
modernization
in
chicago
is
going
to
cost
a
little
over
2
billion
for
construction,
and
we
are
anticipating
that
the
purple
line
modernization
will
be
a
multi-million
dollar
project
and
will
be
quite
costly
as
well.
M
Then
the
next
thing
I'd
like
to
move
on
to
is
bicycle
mobility,
and
so
bike
shops
can't
keep
bikes
in
stock
and
that's
bikes
of
all
kind
and
year-over-year
change
in
bicycle.
Sales
has
increased
exponentially,
as
people
are
looking
at
other
forms
of
transportation
to
get
around
not
only
for
work,
but
then
also
just
for
something
to
do
while
people
have
to
social
distance
and
as
part
of
that,
some
communities
are
implementing
slow
streets.
M
M
Additionally,
divi
has
seen
their
ridership
skyrocket
in
recent
months,
as
people
have
looked
for
other
ways
of
getting
around
that.
Allow
them
to
social
distance.
M
B
M
Yeah
and
so
really,
the
goal
with
these
90
new
electric
bikes
is
to
expand
reach
throughout
all
of
evanston.
M
And
you
what
you
see
with
the
green
markers
are
fixed
stations
in
evanston,
and
then
these
black
markers
are
where
people
have
docked
these
free-floating
electric
bikes
and
even
though
they're
dockless,
they
have
to
be
locked
to
ideally
a
bike
rack
in
order
to
end
their
trip,
and
the
trip
will
not
end
unless
it
is
if,
unless
the
bike
is
locked
up,
this
is
just
you
know.
M
And
but
I
also
want
to
emphasize
that
the
increase
in
these
deliver
in
these
delivery
vehicles
on
evanston
streets
have
a
real
impact
on
those
city,
streets
and
maintenance,
and
then
also
with
congestion
and
greenhouse
gas
emissions.
And
so
this
is
really
tied
to
the
climate.
Action
and
resilience
plan
is
tied
to
the
complete
and
green
streets
policy,
because
there
are
safety
issues
with
these
additional
vehicles,
making
sudden
stops
on
the
streets
and-
and
so
the
city
is
looking
at,
potentially
considering
how
we
can
encourage
use
of
other
modes
to
complete
these
trips.
M
And
then,
finally,
coven
19
has
really
presented
opportunities
to
re-envision
the
public
right-of-way
for
both
pedestrians
and
outdoor
place,
making
many
of
our
signals
right
now
you
have
to
push
and,
and
so
just
beyond,
covid19
the
the
health
concerns
of
that
are
not
ideal.
When
we
can
have
automatic
pedestrian
signals
that
you
don't
have
to
touch
that,
somebody
in
a
wheelchair
doesn't
have
to
strain
to
try
to
reach
and
then,
on
a
more
even
more
positive
note.
M
There's
a
lot
of
outdoor
placemaking,
that's
happening
as
a
result
of
people
social
distancing
outside,
and
this
is
a
really
great
opportunity
to
re-envision
how
we
use
our
public
rights
of
way
to
encourage
people
to
make
to
continue
making
evanston
the
great
place
to
live
that
it
is,
and
with
that
I
will
open
it
up
to
questions.
A
Yeah,
I
have
one
question:
are
any
cities,
let's
see
incentivizing
or
disincentivizing
electric
I
mean.
Excuse
me,
gas,
gasoline-powered,
delivery
trucks,
you
know.
So
if
is
there
a
way
to
incentivize?
A
I
recognize
we're
a
small
city
to
do
that,
but
incentivize
a
delivery
fleet
to
be
electric
rather
than
rather
than
you
know,
gasoline
power
or
diesel
power
is
actually
what
they
are.
M
Yeah,
and
so
there
are
care
and
stick
approaches
for
doing
that.
With
the
carrot
approaches,
there
are
places
where
there
are
actual
financial
dollars
that
are
given
for
companies
to
transition
to
electric
fleets
and
then
with
the
stick
approaches.
M
It
is
more
of
a
tax
and
where
perhaps
you
get
a
tax
break
or
you
don't
have
to
pay
the
tax
if
you
are
implementing
electric
vehicles-
and
that
is
something
that
many
communities
have
looked
at
doing
and
then
there
are
also
places
like
california
that
recently
have
adopted
standards,
and
they
have
said
that
they're
going
to
have
all
fleets
be
electric
by
a
certain
date,
and
all
vehicles
will
be
electric
that
are
sold
new
in
the
state
of
california,
yeah
that
that
involves
working
with
the
state
of
illinois.
M
It's
a
bigger
project
than
local,
but
tax
incentives
are
really
what
is
leading
the
charge.
A
Well,
you
know
it's
interesting
because
you
know,
whereas
on
many
other
communities
after
like
in
the
fourth
month
of
covid,
they
were
they
were.
You
know
the
epa
was
measuring
pollution
in
in
a
number
of
other
cities
around
the
country
and
that
it
had
dropped
significantly
and
it
did
not
drop
in
the
chicago
area
and
it
was
because
of
transportation.
A
Deliveries
was
still
happening
and
it's
diesel.
You
know
that's
what
it
is
so
that
you
know
that's
a
we.
We
need
to
get
rid
of
diesel
yeah,
absolutely
yeah,
yeah,
aldryn
rebel.
D
So
jessica,
your
memo
mentioned
that
paris
is,
has
implemented
a
tax
on
deliveries.
So
if
you
order
something
from
amazon,
I
guess
paris
puts
a
little
tax
on.
That
is
that
something
have
u.s
cities
started
doing.
That
is
that
anything
we
want
to
look
at.
M
I
would
note
that
in
evanston
there
are
there's
already
some
sort
of
fee
for
every
other
vehicle,
that's
operating
in
the
city
of
evanston,
except
for
delivery
vehicles,
and
so
if
we
were
to
look
at
something
like
a
congestion
tax
it
it
may
make
sense
to
target
delivery
vehicles
when
all
other
vehicles
are
already
paying
a
fee
for
for
using
city
of
evanston
streets.
M
Fee,
something,
I
might
say,
is
we
we
already
are
paying
the
fee
with
the
additional
wear
and
tear
on
our
streets
with
the
health
concerns
that
result
from
greenhouse
gas
emissions,
and
then
the
safety
issues
of
increased
traffic
accidents
and
injuries
from
additional
vehicles
on
roads.
A
M
A
Anyone
else
who
would
like
to
share
anything
or
ask
any
other
questions.
A
I
don't
see
any
other
hand,
so
thank
you
very
much
much
ms
hank.
This
is
really
interesting
information
and
I
think
it's
all
going
to
be
part
of
our
lives
faster
than
we
expect.
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
That
was
an
excellent
report
all
right.
At
that
point
we
have,
we
have
finished
our
agenda.
Would
someone
move
to
adjourn.
A
Oh
good,
all
right
all
right,
all
those
in
favor
of
adjourning
all
right,
all
right
all
right
and
the
city
council
is
scheduled
to
start.
