A
We
have
a
quorum
present
for
tonight's
playing
development
committee.
First
yeah.
Thank
you
for
visiting
all
the.
In
brief,
a
will
see
you
and
shortly
alright,
so
a
quorum
being
present.
Our
first
item
of
business
is
approval
of
the
minutes
of
the
regular
meeting
of
December
9th
2019.
Do
I
have
a
motion.
Second,.
B
C
B
A
F
New
year
and
I
am
a
resident
of
the
Hampton
Park
condominium
association
and
I'm
coming
to
express
my
gratitude
for
the
seriousness
with
which
you
took
our
comments
about
D
conversion
in
the
D
conversion
process.
In
the
December
meeting,
I
wanted
to
update
you
all
that
we
are
now
under
contract
for
the
purchase
of
our
property.
That
was
accepted
with
a
seventy
five
point.
Six
six
percent
vote
that
point.
Six
six
was
gained
on
the
evening
the
vote
when
an
owner
was
offered
an
incentive
of
$35,000
to
change
their
vote
on
that
evening.
A
G
Good
evening,
I'm
sue,
Lobeck,
I
work
at
connections
for
the
homeless
here
in
Evanston,
and
the
coalition
joining
forces
for
affordable
housing
and
I
am
speaking
on
p5
tonight.
I
just
wanted
to
express
I,
don't
if
you're
going
to
discuss
it
or
not
tonight,
but
I
would
like
to
express
our
support
of
the
addition
to
the
CJE
Senior
Life
Building.
This
increase
in
senior
housing
is
something
that's
very
necessary.
G
The
number
of
seniors
between
75
and
well
75
and
up
is
going
to
be
increasing
faster
than
any
other
group
of
seniors
in
the
city
and
with
the
experience
of
Evergreen
and
the
design
of
the
building
and
the
location,
we
just
feel
like
it's
a
really
good
project
and
really
important
to
support,
so
just
wanted
to
make
sure
you
well
knew
that
and
hope
that
you
will
support
it.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much
appreciate.
B
H
I
think
the
the
speaker
we
heard
tonight
sent
us
a
very
interesting
message,
and
that
is
I
think
I
think
that
we've
already
had
an
effect
and,
as
a
matter
of
fact,
I
got
a
call
from
a
person
from
the
other
side
from
that
building
and
and
I
did
explain
that
word
this
under
contract.
Of
course,
we
would
not.
They
would
not
be
affected
by
the
moratorium,
but
I
do
think
that
we
need
to
neutralize
the
problems
of
deconversion
before
they
take
place
and
I.
H
H
But
I
think
it's
important
for
those
out
there
trying
to
purchase
these
units
for
conversion
need
to
know
there
there's
some
kind
of
oversight
going
on
in
the
city
and
that
people
cannot
be
taken
advantage
of
and
as
I
said
earlier,
it
is
exactly
the
reverse
of
what
happened.
When
conversions
were
taking
place.
It
was
terrible,
I,
don't
know
if
any
of
your
were
around
at
the
time
a
few
of
us
were,
but
it
was,
it
was
really.
H
It
was
terrible
and
it
was
hurtful
and
harmful
to
people
and
it
made
life
not
very
livable,
so
I'm
very
I'm,
very
anxious
to
get
started
on
this,
and
but
I'd
like
to
hear
from
staff
why
we
need
six
months
of
a
moratorium.
I
don't
want
to
I,
don't
want
to
take
the
opportunity
for
people
to
D
convert
if
they
want
to
away
from
them.
For
that
long,
a
period.
I
I
Do
not
think
that
we
should
put
that
moratorium
in
place
right
now,
I'm,
a
longtime
resident
of
Evanston
and
in
fact,
I've
been
a
condominium
owner
in
Southeast
Evans
and
at
200
South
Boulevard
for
over
16
years
now,
and
we
are
currently
exploring
the
D
conversion
process
and
while
I
understand
that
housing
is
a
complex
issue,
there's
a
lot
to
to
look
at
you
don't
want
to
rush
into
things.
Putting
a
moratorium
over
kind
of
D
conversions
for
the
entire
city
seems
like
trying
to
take
care
of
a
fly
on
the
wall
with
a
sledgehammer.
I
For
example,
we
are
very
small
8
unit
condo
and
because
of
the
market
right
now
for
D
conversions,
we
actually
have
an
opportunity
to
get
out
from
under
water.
In
fact,
most
of
the
owners
in
our
building
have
not
been
able
to
self
since
2008,
because
we
have
an
under-
and
you
know,
that's
just
the
reality
of
it
I've
to
be
very
specific,
can't
move
because
yeah
we
need
more
room
and
we
haven't
be
able
to
sell
at
the
prices
that
are
currently
available
if
we
sell
individually.
I
So
it's
working
as
a
group-
and
we
all
are
you
know,
on
board
with
this
we'd
love
to
move
forward,
I'm
actually
on
the
board,
and
we've
been
working
on
this
for
months,
and
so
when
we
just
found
out
about
this
recently
that
all
of
our
hard
work
could
be
put
on
hold.
We
were
very
concerned,
and
you
know
it's
exactly
there,
there's
all
different
situations
out
there
and
yes
I
think
sometimes
we
do
want
to
take
our
time
and
consider
may
give
everything
due
consideration.
I
When
again,
all
of
us
are
want
to
do
this
with
our
property
seems
again
a
little
excessive
and
I
would
encourage
you
in
its
current
form,
to
at
least
amend
the
the
ordinance
to
allow
those
of
us
who
want
to
go
through
this
process
to
be
able
to
do
someone
get
on
our
luck
with
our
lives.
So
that's
what
I
want
to
say.
Thank.
J
D
I
think
it
was
thrown
out
in
the
discussion
of
how
about
we
try
a
moratorium
for
six
months,
so
I
mean
if,
depending
on
based
on
what
we've
heard,
what's
desired
additional
research
into
the
state
regulations,
some
of
the
other
research
and
understanding
of
how
many
kind
of
azor
out
there
that
might
be
converted,
there's
a
little
bit
of
research.
We
have
other
staff
that
are
programmed
to
do
other
things,
whether
this
is
contracting,
this
work
out
or
having
an
intern
to
it
or
some
other.
We
can't
pop
up
and
go
tomorrow.
D
G
H
I'd,
like
I'd
like
to
take
a
look
at
it
for
three
months:
I,
don't
think,
there's
any
need
for
six
months.
I,
you
know
I
mean
there
I,
just
think
that,
because
I
don't
want
to
get
into
the
summer,
which
is
the
big
sale
time
you
know
when
people,
but
you
don't
for
to
take
a
building
24
units-
let's
say
I
mean
I,
don't
know
about
an
eighth
unit
building
or
a
three
unit
building
to
D
convert,
but
for
a
24
unit
to
D
convert
takes
a
long
time
to
get
all
those
folks
together.
H
H
I've
been
following
the
D
conversions
in
Chicago
I,
followed
the
one
on
Asbury
I
mean
so
many
people
in
that
building
who
who
who
fought
it
and
who
stayed
have
moved
out
because
of
the
horrible
situation
that
occurred,
and
so
I
think
you
know.
Well,
some
people
may
be
underwater
and
are
looking
forward
to
this
opportunity
to
get
out
it's
it's.
E
This
is
just
it
it's
basic
premise.
This
is
a
real
estate
transaction.
So
the
idea
that
we're
going
to
just
decide
that
a
certain
kind
of
real
estate
transaction
can't
go
forward.
I'm,
really
troubled.
By
that
you
know,
where's
I
think
it's
it's
an
extremely
dangerous
precedent.
Where's
the
you
know:
where
does
the
line
get
drawn
on
that?
You
know
it's.
It's
not
a
question
of
a
zoning
approval.
You
know
we
don't
have
any
role
in
this
process,
we're
not
granting
a
other
than
getting
some
affordable
housing
money,
we're
not
granting
plan
developments.
H
E
In
the
eighties
well,
and
and
so
to
that
exact
point,
because
there
was
so
much
of
that,
turning
these
into
condos
I
think
that
process
created
a
lot
of
very
precarious
condominium
associations
where
a
lot
of
buildings
in
the
Chicagoland
and
Cook
County
areas
are
underwater
and
they
can't
afford
to
make
basic
repairs.
They
can't
afford
to
make
roof
repairs.
They
can't
afford
to
get
tuckpointing
done.
So
you
have
people
that
are
living
in
buildings
that
they
can't
maintain
and
they
don't
have
an
exit
strategy.
Banks
won't
lend
on
that.
E
If
you've
got
a
building
like
that,
people
won't
lend
on
that.
If
you
don't
have
reserves
in
your
set
and
your
association
assessments,
people
won't
purchase,
so
you've
got
people
that
are
trapped
in
their
condo
homes
in
their
buildings
with
no
way
out-
and
you
know
I
heard
from
a
few
people
too
through
the
course
of
today.
Expressing
that
sentiment-
and
you
know
I,
just
I
really
I
think
we
should
act
quickly
and
we
should
do
something.

none.
B
H
Final
round
and
I
couldn't
be
more
proud
and
I
hope
all
of
you
looked
at
the
packet
and
the
artist's
rendering
of
what
this
building
is
going
to
look
like,
and
it's
really
it's
really
quite
something,
and
it
there
were
a
lot
of
indications
of
what
the
advantages
the
the
pros
of
this
building
were.
But
one
thing
that
wasn't
mentioned,
it
was
mentioned
that
the
c
GAE
building
is
going
to
be
on
the
tax
rolls
which
it
never
has
been,
but
this
this
is
in
the
area
that
was
part
of
the
Howard
Ridge
TIF
extension.
H
H
Just
very
very
excited
about
that,
and
the
work
that's
been
done
by
this
developer
in
other
areas
really
is
an
indication
of
how
easy
it
was
to
trust
him
in
this
area
and
I
think
the
building
looks
beautiful
and
his
team
has
been
just
so
reliable
and
so
so
responsible
and
one
thing
I
am
going
to
ask
all
of
us.
Is
that
I'm
not
sure
it
requires
a
suspension
of
the
rules
or
anything
I'm,
not
sure
what
it
requires.
H
I'm
going
to
have
to
ask
staff
and
then
ask
you
for
permission,
and
that
is
this
is
scheduled
to
come
back
on
the
27th,
but
we're
having
a
meeting
on
the
21st
regarding
all
the
affordable
housing
issues,
and
this
is
going
to
be
on
the
agenda
on
the
21st
regarding
the
financial
issues
and
so
that
it
doesn't
have
to
be
three
meetings.
This
meeting
the
21st
and
the
27th
could
I.
Please
ask
you
all
to
approve
having
this
come
back
on
the
21st
for
action,
so.

B
A
K
Wanted
to
take
the
opportunity
tonight
to
recognize
shel,
Mason
Kemp,
because
this
is
her
last
meeting
here
with
us.
Michelle
is
going
on
to
be
a
really
interesting
job,
she's
going
to
be
the
general
counsel
to
the
state
of
Illinois
Department
of
Community
and
Economic
Opportunity,
which
is
a
terrific
job
and
I.
Think
all
of
your
experience
here
will
really
serve
you
well,
but
I
did
want
to
comment
on
what
a
pleasure
it
has
been
to
work
with
you
for
the
10
years.
K
You
have
been
here
with
us
and
to
say
how
much
I
admire
and
appreciate
your
professionalism
and
and
I
thought
about
you
this
today
you're
clear,
calm
and
creative
responses,
because
that's
what
they've
always
been
to
all
of
our
interesting
challenges
and
that's
as
nicely
as
I
can
put
it
here
for
all
of
your
hard
work
here.
Michelle,
you
have
done
a
superb
job
on
so
many,
so
many
issues
for
us
and
I
really
appreciate
it,
and
the
Department
of
Community
and
Economic
Opportunity
is
going
to
be
very
lucky
to
have
you.
J
Thank
you.
So
it's
just
for
the
record.
It's
the
Department
of
Commerce
and
Economic
Opportunity,
but
you
know
I've,
really
treasured
working
with
the
city
of
Evanston.
The
wealth
of
knowledge,
I
get
is
only
from
the
projects
that
you
presented,
and
so
the
project
we've
worked
on
has
been
such
a
range
and
I
tell
this
to
the
attorneys
in
the
law
department.
You
don't
get
this
in
private
firms,
and
so
it's
been
an
incredible
experience
and
thank
you
for
the
opportunity.
Thank.
K
A
E
C
Well,
I
just
want
to
echo
my
colleagues
but
also
highlight
the
way
you've
really
been
the
standard
bearer
for
us
in
our
interesting
discussions
with
MW
Rd
these
past
three
years.
You
you
first,
you
you
championed
our
successful
efforts
to
prevent
a
private
road
from
being
built
across
Isabella
woods
and
then
more
recently
you
were
the
leader
in
our
really
protracted
negotiations
with
MW
Rd
about
what
could
and
could
not
happen
at
Canal
shores,
and
you
persisted
until
we
got
a
satisfactory
resolution
and
I
know
the
canal.
C
H
Well,
we
didn't
win
the
case.
We
certainly
should
have
won
it.
I
believe
you're,
probably
the
United
States,
most
Authority
greatest
authority
on
tar
and
I.
Think
I
think
you
did
a
fabulous
job
on
that
and
you
understood
it
so
well
and
we're
so
able
to
explain
it
to
the
rest
of
us
and
I
just
thought.
The
outcome
of
that
was
so
unfortunate,
but
we
did
the
best
we
could.
Thank
you.
