A
A
To
the
October
6
reparations
committee
meeting,
we
are
excited
to
be
hybrid
now,
so,
if
you
could,
please
spread
the
word
and
let
everyone
know
that
you
can
participate
virtually
or
in
person.
You
can
sign
up
online
at
cityofrevinson.org
and
learn
on
about
that.
We
also
have
our
community
stakeholder
leaders
like
in
Donna
that
generally
streams
it
and
post
updates,
and
so
on.
A
I,
don't
know
if
she'll
continue
doing
that
now
that
it's
hybrid
but
no
okay,
perfect,
so
you
so
thank
you
for
bringing
it
to
the
community
until
this
point
that
we
were
hyper
appreciate
you
thank
you.
Before
we
get
into
the
meeting
agenda,
we
have
a
new
Committee
Member
and
we
want
to
say
congratulations
to
our
new
second
ward,
councilwoman
Chrissy.
If
you
could
just
introduce
yourself.
Okay,.
B
A
C
A
All
right
love
that
sweater.
Thank
you
perfect.
So
if
you
remember,
we
passed
a
ancestral
acknowledgment
that
we
are
going
to
open
up
our
meetings
with.
So
we
are
clear
on
why
we're
here
and
what
our
goals
are
and
that
we
are
acknowledging
those
that
came
before
us
fighting
for
our
repair
and
empowerment
and
also
those
that
were
harmed
and
not
able
to
experience
this
season
of
repair
for
us.
So
Mr
Sutton
is
going
to
start
us
off.
A
With
our
first
reading
from
meeting
to
meeting,
we
will
rotate
the
reading,
starting
with
Mr
Sutton,
because
he
is
our
Elder
and
we
will
always
give
honor
to
our
elders
and
so
Mr
Sutton
will
read
in
the
next
meeting:
it'll
be
councilwoman,
Chrissy
and
so
on
and
so
forth.
Okay,
good.
E
Morning
with
greater
humility
and
deep
gratitude,
we
honor
the
spread,
endurance
and
sacrifice
of
our
black
ancestors.
We
honor
these
enslaved
African
people,
whose
forced
labor
was
exploited
for
generations
to
help
establish
the
economy
of
our
region
and
the
United
States.
We
honor
those
black
guys
and
sisters
who
persevered
despite
discriminatory
laws
and
practices
that
created
a
racial
caste
system,
legitimize
anti-black
racism
and
continue
to
plague
our
community.
Today.
E
It
is
only
by
recognition
and
understanding
of
these
errors
begun
during
our
nation's
Origins
and
continuing
to
date
that
we
can
hope
to
correct
our
path.
We
acknowledge
this
exploitation
of
not
only
minds
and
labor
but
of
our
Humanity.
We
grieve
for
those
black
ancestors
to
despite
their
contributions
to
the
city's
wealth
and
freedom
were.
C
E
E
A
B
A
Seeing
no
discussion
May
what
am
I
doing
next,
all
in
favor
all
right
any
opposed
perfect.
Thank
you.
That
motion
passes
now
we're
going
to
get
into
some
really
important
discussion.
As
we
know
there
is
excuse
me,
council,
member
Reed
is
in
route.
A
As
you
know,
we
have
so
much
work
to
do,
and
even
with
the
10
million
dollar
commitment,
we
have
so
much
work
to
do.
We
also
have
lower
revenues
than
projected
based
on
conditions
outside
of
our
control
delayed
cannabis
licenses.
We
have
only
Still
The
One
dispensary
here
in
town
and
so
we're
looking
for
new
funding
scenarios.
So
the
first
we're
going
to
start
with
the
discussion
and
we'll
wait
on
council
member
Reed,
because
this
is
one
that
that
he
has
been
most
interested
in.
A
Let's
move
on
to
A2,
which
is
restricting
the
graduated
real
estate
transfer
tax
and
designating
a
portion
of
it
or
it
for
reparations
Fund
in
perpetuity
and
I'll
open
that
discussion
up,
because
it
was
actually
my
original
thinking
for
a
first
funding
stream
for
reparations.
One
is,
there
is
a
direct
correlation
between
real
estate
and
property
and
the
harm
that
we
have
identified
here
in
Evanston
and
it
seemed
appropriate
too.
We
had
only
just
passed.
This
graduated
real
estate
transfer
tax,
maybe
the
year
prior
to
us
passing
reparations.
A
So
at
that
point
it
had
not
been
really
identified
into
our
budget
specifically
earmarked,
and
so
we
need
more
revenue
streams,
and
so
we
did
have
a
favorable
Memo
from
our
Corporation
Council
Nick
Cummings,
in
support
of
this
being
a
an
appropriate
Recreations
funding.
Opportunity
I
wanted
to
open
that
up
for
discussion
and
then
make
sure
the
Corporation
Council
Nick
Cummings
added
anything
to
the
discussion
that
we
need
to
know
and
also
he's
available
for
questions
as
well,
so
I'm
in
full
support
of
it.
F
G
You
good
morning,
committee
Nicholas,
Cummings,
Corporation,
Council
City
of
Evanston.
Essentially,
what
was
asking
me
back
in
June
was
to
identify
various
funding
sources
that
we
could
to
supplement
the
reparations
fund.
The
memo
that
I
prepared
back
in
June
talked
about
any
taxes
that
the
City
of
Evanston
ruled
as
a
home
rule
municipality.
G
G
Is
being
directed
to
the
general
fund,
the
council
can
say:
well
we
want
to
redirect
that
to
a
different
fund,
and
that
is
what
I
believe
the
discussion
today
is
about,
and
procedurally
it
would
take
a
vote
of
the
committee
to
send
that
recommendation
to
city
council
to
say
we
recommend
using
the
graduated
real
estate
transfer
tax
to
fund
reparations
instead
of
funding
operations,
and
that
is
true
for
a
Litany
of
other
Municipal
Homewood
taxes
that
I
can't
think
of
off
the
top
of
my
head
right
now.
G
Use
cannabis
tax
that
is
given
to
us
by
the
state
goes
into
the
Recreations
fund.
Currently
you
know
if
it's
advised
that
you
have
to
because
it's
a
home
rule
text,
but
it's
advised
if
you
wanted
to
keep
a
close
relationship
to
the
harms
that
have
been
caused,
such
as
chair
Simmons,
talk
about
the
real
estate
transfer
tax
and
we
know
from
evidence
that
there
were
policies
that
negatively
impacted
black,
have
estonians
with
respect
to
real
estate.
That
makes
sense,
but
you
don't
necessarily
have
to
have
that
one-to-one
correlation.
G
To
decide
how
to
spend
some
money
on
a
home
rule
tax,
so
the
city
council
says
we
want
to
use
this
revenue
for
this
purpose
perfectly
fine.
E
G
A
I
No
attached
was
out
of
the
office
this
week,
so
when
you
get
the
next
okay,
okay,
we're
gonna
send
that
to
you
all
perfect.
D
G
It's
not,
you
won't
necessarily
miss
the
window
of
opportunity.
My
understanding
is
that
the
budget
will
be
the
draft.
The
first
draft
of
the
proposed
budget.
We
presented
the
city
council
on
the
17th
of
October,
so
I
don't
expect
that
to
be
I.
Definitely
don't
expect
the
city
council
to
say
this
is
a
perfect
budget,
we're
going
to
pass
it
right
now.
So.
C
G
H
I
Calendar
and
the
earliest
possible
adoption
date
is
November
22nd.
A
So
what
I
would
suggest
we
do
is
have
any
further
discussion
on
our
support
of
moving
in
this
direction.
Wait
to
get
the
numbers
from
patash
and
then,
if
necessary,
schedule
a
special
meeting
if
we
need
to
get
ahead
of
the
council
calendar
so
that
we
can
send
that
recommendation.
That's
detailed
and
specific,
but
any
further
discussion
on
this
as
a
funding
stream
generally
yeah.
A
Is
the
graduated
real
estate
transfer
tax,
and
so
where
we're
at
it
sounds
we're
leaning
towards
a
general
support
of
that?
We
have
Corporation
Council
in
in
support
of
that
as
a
revenue
source
and
we're
talking
about
as
much
detail
as
we
can
not
having
Revenue
information,
historical
Revenue
information.
My.
B
A
Yes,
so
so
of
course,
because
it
passed
I
believe
that
was
2018
if
I'm
not
mistaken.
But
do
you
want
to
respond
in
detail
of
what
line
item
it
is
that.
B
A
A
Perfect
Council
memory
did
you
have
anything
before
we.
J
Yeah
I
I
think
so,
if
we're
still
talking
about
two
I
support
generally
using
the
real
estate,
the
real
estate
transfer
tax
for
reparations
I
do
think
it
might
be.
You
know
these
funds
in
particular
might
be
good
for
affordable
housing
generally,
but
I
I
do
think
looking
at
number
one
which
is
traffic.
J
I
I
think,
and
we
don't
have
an
estimate
of
of
the
annual
revenue.
I
know.
B
J
I
know
the
increment.
The
new
increment
is
about
one
point
two
to
three,
maybe
even
all
the
way
up
to
1.5
million
dollars
so
is.
Are
we
just
talking
about
the
new
increment,
the
graduated
portion?
Are
we
talking
about
the
full
text,
we're.
A
Talking
about
the
graduated
tax,
to.
A
B
While
we're
waiting
for
that
I'd
like
to
say
that
I
would
be
in
favor
and
think
that
we
as
we
get
more
information,
but
that
we
stand
behind
it
as
a
general
movement
but
then
decide
what
that
looks
like
perfect.
Thank
you
and.
B
A
K
C
C
C
E
E
A
That
everyone
understands
what
Mr
Sutton
is
bringing
up
a
very
good
point.
The
inclusionary
housing
Zone
allows
for
plan
developments
to
pay
a
fee
in
lieu
of
affordable
units,
and
what
I
hear
Mr
Southern
saying
is
that
we
should
learn
more
about
where
that
fund
stands
and
consider
that
as
a
revenue
stream
as
well.
G
That
doesn't
mean
that
that
couldn't
change
and
I
could
actually,
you
know,
have
our
our
office
look
into
that.
But
but
that
usually
is,
is
you
know,
money
directed
toward,
for
example,
cipa?
If
sipa
wants
to
build
a
development,
it
helps.
A
Thank
you.
Do
you
think
you're
going
to
get
to
it,
but
council,
member
for
you.
J
Yeah
I
can
drop
the
note
and
at
some
point
during
the
weekend:
yeah
okay,
so.
I
Were
you
looking
at
the
2022
yeah
I'm,
just
looking
for
a
20.
yeah,
it
doesn't
show
the
graduated
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah,
but
it
does
show
that
you're
sitting
in
the
seat
is
in
real
estate
tax.
As
of
August
2017.,
it
really
doesn't
mean
the
way
you
said
yes.
Finally,.
A
So
that's.
Thank
you.
That's
not
the
the
detail
that
we
need
to
have
a
informed
discussion,
so
we'll
move
on
from
that
and
hope
that
her
test
can
get
us
that
and
we
will
call
a
special
meeting
if
we
need
to
you
guys,
can
keep
us
clear.
B
A
J
Oh
I
mean
we
I
think
it's
worth
discussing
all
the
options,
but
I
I
do
think
that
the
action
or
the
the
motion
could
be
to
you
know
direct
staff
to
look
into
what
exactly
the
increment
is
and
then
recommend
that
that
increment
be
dedicated
to
I.
A
A
So
we'll
move
forward
with
that
direction
and
further
action
will
be
taken
once
we
have
information
from
him
and
let's
go
on
to
three
and
that's
setting
aside
three
million
dollars
of
arpa
funds
for
economic
development
and
and
so
why
it
specifies
Economic
Development,
A,
Corporation
Council
has
looked
into
this
as
a
funding
stream
and
is
advising
that
we,
if
we
do
go
forward
with
this
as
a
funding
stream,
that
we
look
to
use
it
for
economic
development
purposes.
That
is
a
next
step
of.
A
A
lot
of
people
are
really
depending
on
us
to
get
to
so
that
it
would
leave
some
funding
opportunity
available
for
us
to
get
to
Economic
Development,
and
this
would
be
more
likely
identify
the
census
trap
based
on
where
we
have
Economic
Development
opportunities
and
predominantly
black
neighborhoods.
And
so,
if
you
want
to
give
us
any
setup
on
this.
G
Shorter
of
the
morning
again,
members
of
the
reparations
committee
I'm
asking
for
all
it's
the
final
rules
from
treasuring
from
January
2022
on
this
particular
issue
to
try
and
help
guide
some
of
this
discussion.
But
in
any
event,
essentially,
we
can
use
Arbor
funds
in
any
qualified
area,
understanding
that
the
economic
impacts
tended
to
affect
blackened
and
brown
folk
generally
and
the
treasury
even
recognizes
that
in
in
the
final
rule.
C
G
G
Be
targeted
in
those
areas
that
we
know
were
impacted
as
a
result
of
Kobe
which
tend
to
proportionately
lean.
This
way,
we
don't
necessarily
have
to
specify
a
race
federal
dollars
tend
to
not
allow
us
to
specify
rates,
but
we
can
always
use
a
slew
of
different
qualifications
as
a
substitute
for
race,
and
we
know
that
they
tend
fee
race,
for
example,
that
treasury
allows
recipients
to
identify
impacting
disproportionately
impact
the
beneficiaries
based
on
their
eligibility
for
other
programs
with
similar
income
tests.
G
So
if
someone
receives
a
children's
health
insurance
program
or
Medicaid
or
TANF
or
snap,
all
of
those-
and
we
know
that
those
disproportionately
our
go-to
black
and
brown
folks,
we
can
utilize
Arbor
funds
in
those
areas
where
and
those
folks
that
qualify
for
those
programs
will
be
eligible
for
whatever
program.
This
community
develops.
D
I
A
J
Our
funds
are
starting
to
slow
down,
I
believe
there's
somewhere
south
of
less
than
10
million
left
in
our
I.
J
Think
it's
roughly
9
million
to
Chicago,
right
yeah,
so
I
think
I
think
this
Council
and
our
city
has
made
a
lot
of
Declarations
of
supporting
reparations
and
so
I
think
there
should
be
appetite
I,
I,
think
again,
the
funds
are
are
really
getting
small
now,
but
I
think
this
is
something
that,
if
coming
from
this
committee
with
full
support,
I
think
is
something
the
council
could
get
behind,
but
I
think
it's
also
something
we
need
to
be
pretty
Direct
on
move
quick
on
before
other.
A
Goal
is
coming
from
that
that
dollar
amount,
although
this
particular
funding
bucket,
is
not
ideal
for
that
purpose.
D
B
So
go
ahead:
okay,
I
I
would
suggest
we
put
a
dollar
amount,
because
if
you,
let
me
decide
then
and
not
me,
but
the
person
decide,
then
they
may
tend
to
go
lower.
So
you
always
want
to
start
with
the
highest
ass.
Knowing
that
the
potential
to
be
lower
is
there
even
if
we
raised
it
to
four
really
hoping
that
might
be
an
option,
but
we
should
put
a
dollar
amount
to
it.
A
No
doubt
that
you
know
the
recommendation
goes
with
the
dollar
amount,
for
obvious
reasons,
and
also
being
mindful
that
you
know
the
arpa
dollars
are
because
of
the
crisis
of
the
pandemic
and
intended
to
be
used
in
areas
where
that
were
affected
by
the
by
the
pandemic
so
their
you
know
our
other
priorities.
A
B
A
C
A
I
think
that's
something
that
we
should.
We
should
take
some
time
to
Define,
even
more
so,
but
in
the
in
the
recommendation
that
we
have
from
Corporation
Council
economic
development
is
certainly
within
our
priorities,
and
it
is
an
expectation
from
the
community
I've
been
hearing
from
Community.
When
do
we
get
to
Economic
Development?
When
is
there
going
to
be
support
for
business
development
in
Black
communities
and
so
on?
A
H
E
C
C
E
You
out
on
some
of
the
other
situations,
repairs
and
things
like
that
that
is
so
essential
with
this
increase
in
taxes,
especially
to
people
on
fixed
income,
might
be,
and
especially
since
I
see
two
more
for
sale
signs
in
my
block,
which
means
gentrification,
is
still
alive
and
well.
C
E
E
A
E
Well,
remember
we
so
let's
do.
A
This
I
want
to
respond
real
quickly
that
that
seat,
Community
Development
block
grant
being
another
Federal
stream.
A
Corporation
Council
is
probably
going
to
give
the
same
response,
but
I
think
what
we
should
do
is
get
a
a
list
of
a
report
of
all
of
our
home
rule
taxes
and
so
we're
not
just
kind
of
oh.
What
about
this?
What
about
that?
And
we
can
actually
go
through
what
you're,
advising
or
at
least
sharing,
that
we
consider
home
rule
taxes
and
then,
if
we
could
get
a
official
response
to
Mr
Sutton
about
cdbt.
So.
G
I
was
going
to
suggest
I
can
talk
to
Sarah
flax
to
have
that
discussion,
because
I
don't
know
exactly
what
exactly
how
much
money
we
have
in
CVG
right
now,
that's
usually
distributed
annually
by
the
federal
government
and
I
also
don't
know
what
programs
the
city
currently
has
in
place
out
of
cdbg
to
support
what
you're
talking
about
understanding
that
when
the
program
was
designed,
it
was
always
intended
to
be
supplemented
by
other
opportunities
right.
G
So
if
there
is
a
current
program
for
the
city
to
use
CBG
funds,
the
city
has
has
historically
and
I
know,
because
we
have
a
lot
of
foreclosure
actions
as
a
result
of
it,
given
loans
to
people
to
help
to
do
exactly
that
out
of
either
NSP
or
cdbg
programs.
G
Neighborhood
stabilization
program
or
Community
Development
block
grants
for
those
that
don't
know
the
acronyms.
The
city
has
certainly
done
that
so
I
don't
know
if
it's
still
doing
that
or
not
with
currency
aging
funding.
The.
G
And
I
know:
I
showed
this
council
member
Reed
I
just
wanted
to
put
this
on
the
community
committee's
radar.
The
city
council
approved
an
arbor
plant
in
March
of
2022
and
divided
exactly
how
much
money
was
going
to
go
and
to
support
certain
programs.
So
there
were
two
programs
that
would
be
very
pertinent
to
this
Group,
which
is
negative
economic
impacts
and
services
to
disproportionately
impact
the
communities
and
the
total
promise
of
arpa
funds
by
the
council
at
that
time
was
18
million.
A
A
Let's
discuss
the
amount
right
now
we
have
three
million
dollars
up
for
discussion.
We
understand.
There's
around
nine,
would
love
to
hear
from
the
committee
on
some
direction
that
we
can
send
forward
with
the
recommendation
to
the
council.
L
J
I
would
move
to
I
mean
I,
don't
want
to
sell
short.
If
folks
are
saying
go
hard,
but
I've
moved
to
3
million.
A
C
D
Opposed
no
okay,
I
would
just
increase
the
dollar
amount.
I
would
increase
it
to
form
because
I
think
we're
going
to
get
kicked
back.
That
would
just
be
my
own
apartment.
J
I
I
will
make
a
friendly
Amendment
to
move
the
dollar
amount
up
to
5
million.
A
A
All
in
favor
aye
any
opposed.
We
are
making
a
recommendation
that
five
million
dollars
be
set
aside
from
the
arpa
funds
to
the
reparations
fund,
specifically
for
economic
development.
Great
and
now
we're
going
to
move
on
to
item
A1.
This
is
advancing
three
million
dollars
from
the
general
fund
to
the
reparations
fund,
which
would
allow
us
to
fully
fund
our
ancestors.
A
J
I
would
move
that
if
I
can
move
that
and
then
we
can
discuss
it.
Okay,
yeah,
I
I
think
we
should
make
sure
particularly
I've
said
this
before
I
think
we're
all
in
agreement.
J
Understanding
the
you
know
just
to
qualify
as
an
ancestor
you're
in
your
70s
or
older
I
have
folks
in
my
ward,
who
have
reached
out
are
curious
about
when
they
might
receive
funds
and
I,
don't
feel
happy
to
tell
them
that
I
don't
know
exactly
when,
particularly
those
ancestors
will
receive
funds,
and
by
making
this
transfer,
we
can
ensure
that
the
at
the
beginning
of
2023
in
just
a
few
months
that
every
single
ancestor
is
taken
care
of
the
the
city
has
a
you
know
at
the
at
the
moment
we
have
a
healthy
Reserve
or
healthy
Surplus,
and
we
can
you
give
us
some
details.
J
Yeah
yeah,
our
Surplus
last
report
was
our
general
fund
was
sitting
at
47
million
dollars
and
we
have
a
current
requirement
that
we
withhold
16.66
percent
of
our
general
fund
expenditure
and
reserve,
and
so
that
number
is
19.1
million.
So
we
have
a
very
healthy
Reserve
or
we
have
a
very
healthy,
Surplus
and
I
think
it's
time
for
us
to
determine
our
values
and
with
the
Surplus
that
large
and
you
know
a
little
dwindle
down.
J
I
think
a
test
has
estimated
that
at
the
end
of
the
year,
if,
if
things
go
accordingly,
the
the
fund
will
be
sitting
at
about
somewhere
between
30
to
35
million,
so
still
a
healthy
Surplus
there,
and-
and
this
is
something
that
we
can
afford
and
so
I
think
we
should
take
care
of
this
and
make
sure
our
seniors
are
taken
care
of.
D
Committee
committee,
member
McFarland,
so
I
I,
wonder
if
Council
Cummings
can
speak
to
because
my
my
concern
of,
of
course,
I
think
we
all.
It
goes
without
saying,
share
the
priority
and
the
sentiment
that
we
want
to
get
rep
report
reparatory
funds
in
people's
hands
as
soon
as
possible.
However,
my
understanding
of
the
current
law.
D
D
G
So
first
I
want
to
say
that
the
the
risk
that
it
poses
to
us
increases
the
people
who
could
have
potential
standing
to
challenge
the
program
right
now,
it's
very
difficult
to
identify
someone
who
would
have
standing
because
of
the
criteria
that
the
committee
has
said
for
eligibility
for
the
program.
You.
G
And
be
able
to
show
it
and
then
have
applied
and
have
been
denied
because
of
the
basis
of
like
a
race
or
age
or
gender,
or
something
like
that
because
of
our
our
criteria
spells
out,
at
least
for
the
first
two,
that
you
should
be
a
black
Edison
resident
or
just
a
black
descendant
of
this
person.
But
the
catch-all
was,
if
you
can
prove
discrimination,
Beyond
1969,
regardless
of
race,
you
could
be
eligible.
G
The
idea
of
what's
called
taxpayer
standing,
which
is
anyone
who
pays
taxes
that's
supposed
to
be
for
the
benefit
of
the
whole.
If
the
city
takes
money
that
was
allocated
for
that
and
then
redirects
it
into
something
that
is
not
meant
for
the
whole,
it's
meant
very
specifically
for
the
smaller
beneficiary
Group,
which
is
the
reparations
fund
than
individuals
could
not
that
they
would
or
will,
but
they
could
then
challenge
the
program
without
even
having
to
have
been
eligible
to
beat
for
the
program.
G
In
the
first
place
they
can
just
say
you
are
misdirecting
my
tax
dollars
now
I
have
reached
out
to
Chapman
and
Cutler
for
and
even
more
learned
opinion
with
respect
to
tax
policy.
On
this,
I
have
not
heard
back
yet,
but
that
is
from
the
research
that.
H
H
G
Understanding
of
how
that
that
could
play
out
again,
I'm,
not
saying
that
and
I
know,
the
question
was
supposed
to
meet
in
June
or
will
we
win?
G
A
good
lawyer
will
never
give
you
certainty.
We
can
tell
you
what's
likely
and
what's
not
likely
to
happen
so.
C
J
I
hear
what
you
said
on
the
taxpayer
standing
point,
but
I
mean
if,
if
we're
concerned
about
someone
getting
taxpayer
standing,
I
think
the
Cannabis
tax
opens
us
up
to
the
most
only
because
anyone
can
go
into
a
cannabis
store
and
buy
cannabis.
They'd
have
to
be
a
resident
of
Evanston,
and
you
know
with
that
grant
them
standing
as
someone
who
paid
the
Cannabis
tax.
We
just
voted
to
support
moving
forward
with
the
real
estate
transfer
tax.
So
does
this
now?
Would
that
also
likewise
increase
our
liability?
J
Because
anyone
who
sells
a
house
would
have
standing
you
know
and
who
buys
or
sells
a
house
would
have
standing
to
challenge
Us
in
court
because
they
are
now
a
taxpayer
and
so
I
think
there
is
some
risk
with
with
all
of
this,
but
I
think
I,
I
trust,
evanstonians
and
I
and
and
right
now
the
real
estate
transfer
tax
is
a
tax
that
goes
to
the
general
fund.
J
You
know
we
can
make
this
transfer
and
and
I
and
I
do
not
believe
that
you
know
we
have
some
great
thing
to
worry
about.
I.
Think
we
can
make
this
transfer.
We
can
do
right
by
our
ancestors,
we
can
live
up
to
our
commitment
and
we
can
be
bold
and
their
communities
right
now
that
are
using
10
million
dollars
in
arpa
funding
for
reparations.
J
You
want
to
talk
about
bold
and
they're,
not
you
know,
worried
about,
and
the
taxpayers
standing
there
is
a
is,
is,
is
you
know
much
greater
than
it
is
for
our
local
use,
general
fund
taxes,
so
I
I
hope
that
you
know
in
about
over
cautiousness.
J
We
sell
our
seniors
short
and
we
don't
live
up
to
the
values
that
we
committed
to
years
and
years
ago,
when
Robin
first
made
the
Bold
a
presentation
of
putting
forward
this,
this
very
concept
and
so
I
think
we
need
to
continue
being
bold.
We
need
to
stand
up
to
the
bullies
that
have
tried
to
threaten
us
from
Washington,
D.C
and
other
places.
These
aren't
evanstonians
that
sent
those
letters
to
us.
These
are
folks
from
out
of
town.
We
should
be
able
to
trust
our
community
and
live
up
to
our
values,
chairs.
G
And
it's
gonna
just
break
please
on
the
first
two
issues:
that's
that's
precisely
why
every
Southern
Chapman
of
color
for
more
learning
opinion
with
respect
to
the
other
taxes,
whether
that
would
propose
taxpayer
standings
my
understanding
that,
as
for
lack
a
better
term
voluntary
taxes,
it'll
responsibly,
no
but
I'm,
that's
why
I
reached
out
for
that
piece
and
as
far
as
using
arpa
funds
for
reparations,
we
have
looked
in
I
believe
it
was.
Providence
was
one
of
the
communities
that's
doing
it,
but.
G
Funneling
those
funds
to
qualify
census
trials,
which
is
how
they
are
able
to
substitute
rates.
The
one
community
that
tried
to
use
cares
funding
I
believe
was
in
Oklahoma.
It
was
before
our
vote.
They
were
immediately
sued
and
those
monies
were
are
still
tied
up
by
an
injunction
because
they
tried
to
utilize
the
money
based.
L
G
If
they
would
have
gone
to
qualified
census
tracts,
it
might
not
have
been
a
problem,
but
you
know
I,
just
I'm
trying
to
my
job
is
to
be
overly
cautious
and
you
guys
job
is
to
be
bold,
so
I'm
just
giving
advice
to
try
and
reduce
the
risk
profile.
That's
all
Mr.
E
Saturn
yeah
two
concerns
if
we
had
not
already
lost
several
recipients
from
the
ancestors
I
probably
would
not
see
this
as
something
that
we
should
address,
but
more
important.
When
I
looked
at
that
lawsuit
from
Boston
to
Texas
that
came
in
here,
we.
E
As
a
city
have
made
a
commitment
to
fund
reparations
for
10
years
now,
are
we
going
to
be
like
when
Martin
Luther
King
went
on
the
march
of
Washington?
We've
presented
you
a
promissory
note
and
your
answer
to
us
from
Evanston
that
there's
insufficient
funds.
So
go
back
that
piece
of
paper
that
we've
given
you
from
the
Constitution
that
you
deserve
these
kinds
of
commitments
that
you
no
longer
are
eligible
for
these.
E
That
kind
of
callousness
I
do
not
want
to
be
in
a
city,
that's
afraid
of
some
racist
asking
about
a
question
of
how
his
money
is
being
spent
when
one
the
city's
already
made
a
commitment
to
people
like
me
and
two
that
there's
no
way
you
could
repay
me
or
my
family
for
the
Damage
Done.
So
anyone
who
has
a
question
like
that
I
would
love
to
address
him
personally.
G
G
Is
made
on
how
the
city
is
going
to
spend
its
money
from
the
get-go
the
money
and
it's
part
of
the
the
to
the
response
to
the
adult
use
cannabis
tax.
The
city
made
before
a
single
dollar
even
came
into
the
city,
the
city
determined
that
it
was
going
to
direct
that
money
into
the
reparations
fund,
so
it
was
never
had
an
opportunity
to
get
into
the
general
fund.
If
the
city
council
does
the
same
thing
in
2023
and
says
we're
going
to
direct
certain
taxes
into
the
reparations
fund,
there's
there's
no
question.
G
It's
a
political
decision
that
the
city
council
can
make
to
do
that.
The
only
risk
arises
when
you
have
money.
That's
already
been
set
aside
for
use
for
the
general
welfare
and.
D
So
this
this
is
this
is
where
I
really
feel
my
lawyer
had
coming
on.
D
I
I
share
from
the
beginning
and
I
think
we
again,
we
all
share
trying
to
get
those
distributions
out
as
soon
as
possible,
but
given
that
we
have
some
options
for
some
streams
that
are
less
likely,
sorry
to
invite
litigation,
I
think
we
do
have
well
I
strongly
I
I
I
feel
strongly
that
we
should
explore
those
initially
I
appreciate
that
you
know
the
passage
of
this
ordinance
really
solidifies.
D
The
city
has
made
the
commitment
and
I
think
that,
generally,
when
I
speak
to
people
they're
very
supportive
and
really
proud
of
this
historic
program,
but
all
it
takes
is
one
and
the
whole
thing
can
be
caught
up
in
litigation.
Funds
can
be
tied
up
and
joined.
Those
cases
can
go
on
for
years
and
we're
stuck
that's
where
I
don't
want
to
go,
and
so
that's
why
my
you
know
I
I,
think
the
program
is
bold.
I
am
all
for
coming
up
with
and
and
it's
hard
and
that's.
D
Why
we're
here
coming
up
with
Alternatives
I,
really
love
the
others
that
attorney
Cummings
is
exploring,
because
those
seem
to
be
safer
options,
and
it
seems
to
be
that
we
do
have
some
other
options.
There
may
come
a
time
when
we
want
to
push
the
envelope
and
become
the
municipality
that
has
made
some
historic
legislative
history
as
well
and
judicial
history.
In
the
case,
we've
made
the
legislative,
a
Judicial
history
in
the
case,
but
I
think
let
that
be
at
our
planning
when
we
are
prepared
and
not
when
we're
prepared
for
that
hit.
D
That
may
come.
I
think
that
should
be
part
of
a
plan
that
we
are.
You
know
that
we've
made
provision
for
at
the
moment
the
risk
of
having
the
whole
thing
tied
up
in
injunction.
You
know
as
what's
happened,
what
what
some
previous
States
and
the
the
risk
to
the
program
I
feel
that
and
unless
and
until
we
explore
all
these
other
options.
J
I
I
just
want
us
to
really
we're
saying
you
know
we're
using
this.
You
know
almost
like
Boogeyman
wrist,
that's
under
the
bed,
and
what
really
is
that
risk?
What
are
we
saying?
Do
we
have
any
analysis
on
you
know?
Does
this
increase
our
Risk
by
five
percent
by
point
five
percent?
What
kind
of
analysis
has
been
done
to
really
determine
that
this
truly
outweighs?
J
Have
we
done
a
cost-benefit
analysis
and
and
I
don't
think
we
have
we've
just
stated
a
risk
without
quantifying
it
and
without
without
truly
naming
exactly
what
that
risk
is.
If
anything
I'd
be
more
worried
about
someone
who
would
have
standing
right
if
you're
paying
a
real
estate
transfer
tax,
you're
moving
out
of
Evanston
and
that
person
might
be
the
person
that
I'm
more
worried
about
potentially
suing
this,
then
you
know
someone
who's
choosing
to
live
in
this
community
or
who's
still
committed
to
staying
in
this
community.
J
So
I
think
again,
it's
it's
3.5
million
dollars
from
local
general
fund
from
our
local
general
fund.
That
would
be
going
to
reparations,
I,
don't
know
of
and
Nick.
Please
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong.
If
a
single
Evanston
resident,
who
has
sent
a
formal
letter
to
your
office
or
any
other
city
office,
that
said
hey,
I'm
thinking
about
soon
with
this
one,
it
would
be
costly
litigation
on
their
end
and
they
would
become
someone
who
probably
couldn't
show
their
face
in
this
community.
J
With
the
shame
that
would
be
attached
to
you
know
filing
a
suit
against
this
program.
So
I
would
love
us
to
do
if
we're
going
to
say
no
to
those
seniors
and
we're
going
to
let
more
and
more
people
and
and
hate
to
say
this,
but
more
and
more
people
pass
away
before
they
receive
the
benefit
that
we
committed
to
them
years
ago.
J
Then
we
should
really
have
a
deep
understanding
of
what
we're
passing
up
on
what
were
what
the
real
risk
is
and
not
just
a
you
know:
AAA
an
invisible,
Boogeyman
version
of
risk.
Let's
quantify
it
I.
G
Can
I
can
happily
try
and
get
that
announced
for
you,
as
I
mentioned
previously,
General
block
is,
has
graciously
stated
that
they
would
defend
Us
in
such
litigation.
Pro
bono
and
so
I
can
ask
them
for
such
analysis,
with
respect
to
standing
I
believe
I've
brought
it
up
to
them
a
long
time
ago.
Actually,
but
I
do
not
have
that
analysis
that
I
can
certainly
push
forward
for
you.
I
E
Sutton
yeah
I
I
want
to
address
everyone's
concerns.
Let's
do
one
thing
clear:
City
of
Evanston
black
residency
as
far
as
our
concerned
should
have
had
a
class
action
suit
against
the
City
of
Evanston
and
realtors
for
the
red
lining
and
the
denial
of
generational
wealth
that
has
affected
Us
in
this
community.
I,
don't
know
how
many
of
you
are
sitting
around
this
table.
Your
grandfather's
house
was
moved
from
the
seventh
Corps,
with
compliance
with
the
city
and
realtors
in
this
city.
That's.
E
To
him
destroyed
the
man's
reputation
in
this
community
and
had
at
harm
that
has
taken
me
almost
two
generations
to
return
to
the
place
where
we
had
some
kind
of
family
stability
and
I'm
not
going
to
sit
here
worrying
about
what
someone's
going
to
say,
my
concern
to
them
that
we'll
come
up
with
our
lawsuit
too.
You
want
to
sue
us
about
this.
Then
we
can
come
back
and
sue
you
for
the
damages
that
you've
done
Us
in
the
past.
Now
we
want
to
start
talking
about
lawsuits.
E
I,
don't
want
to
use
that
as
a
concern
or
weapon,
but
at
this
time,
in
this
political
climate
in
America,
I
favor
boldness,
rather
than
the
kinds
of
things
that
we
should
withdraw
going
forward
because
of
worrying
about
Kickback
for
reaction,
great.
A
And
so
obviously
I
favorable
in
this
too.
That's
why
we're
all
here
today,
but
sometimes
the
federal
law
and
morality
and
our
values,
don't
always
like
completely
align,
and
so
with
that
we
do
have
to
have
a
vote
on
this
because
it
keeps
coming
up
for
a
discussion
and
I
personally
feel
there's
a
lot
more
discussion
to
be
had
so
much
has
not
been
said.
A
We
don't
have
the
information
that
council
member
Reed
is
requesting
in
terms
of
you
know
what
is
the
harm
or
the
possibility,
the
threat?
How
do
we
quantify
it
and
so
on?
A
J
J
G
The
end
of
the
year,
you
know
that
the
council
has
to
do
sort
of
a
bucket
budget
reconciliation
and
if
there.
G
Happening
during
that
process,
because
I
wonder
then,
if
it
would
be
an.
D
G
G
J
A
G
I
think
conjunctive
relief
is
is
not
exactly
easy
to
obtain
correct.
There
are
four
elements
that
you
have
to
meet
and
that
and
the
the
person
who
has
standing
to
be
able
to
meet
those
elements
would
have
to
meet
all
four
of
those
elements,
but
if
they
are
and
and
let
me
back
up
a.
G
A
little
easier
than
a
permanent
injunction,
and
so
what
we
would
face.
A
This,
let's
get
the
information
that
councilmember
Reed
is
requesting
understanding
that
our
audacity
could
have
the
whole
program
stalled
and
that's
something
that
we
need
to
know.
What
is
the
risk?
What
is
the
time
frame
look
like,
or
is
there
a
so
little
risk
that
we're
willing
to
move
forward
understanding
that
risk?
J
That
to
be
cleared
if
we
made
this
transfer
to
three
point,
whatever
three
three
million
dollars
and
we
transferred,
as
we
have
with
in
the
past,
the
money
to
sipa.
G
G
So
to
your
point.
Yes,
we've
already
paid
money,
the
16
ancestors
that
have
already
qualified
and
have
received
funds,
they've
already
been
paid.
They
would
not
be
at
risk,
but
but
the
only
risk
potential
risk
would
be
any
new
recipients
post
transfer.
If
somebody
went
to
the
courthouse
immediately
and
filed
something
and
again
I'm
not
trying
to
beat
the
Boogeyman
and
scare
people
my
job,
if.
M
A
So
also
it's
going
to
be
helpful
to
have
the
list
of
home
rule
taxes
and
that
that
we
can
consider
so
that
we're
making
a
really
informed
decision
moving
forward
so
much
more
to
say
on
this,
but
for
the
sake
of
time
we're
going
to
move
forward.
Our
goal
is
to
have
these
meetings
until
10
30.,
just
so
that
everyone
understands
us
not
to
attend,
but
we
do
have
more
to
discuss,
and
so
there
we
are
going
to
give
further
Direction
once
we
have
more
information.
Thank
you.
A
Next,
we're
going
to
move
on
for
a
discussion
item
3B
the
approval
of
the
local
reparations
assorted
housing
program,
designation
of
beneficiary
form
staff
is
recommending
this
approval.
This
came
from
the
unfortunate
loss
of
ancestors
and
so
we're
looking
to
have
our
recipients
identify
a
beneficiary
in
the
case
of
their
transition.
Is
there
a
motion
to.
J
All
right
I
also
it's
a
great
idea.
I.
Just
wonder
you
know
if
you
know
I'm
number
21
in
line
and
I'm
an
ancestor,
and
you
know
the
person
right
before
me
passes
away,
and
then
you
know
their
16
year
old
gets
funds
before
I.
Do.
J
You
know
how
do
I
feel
as
the
ancestor
who's
getting
skipped
over
for
someone
who's.
You
know
likely
got
got
more
time,
so
I
wonder
if
these
folks
I,
like
this
form,
I,
think
we
should
allow
folks
to
designate
to
their
ancestors
but
I
wonder
if
they
could
move
to
some
other
point
in
the
line.
So
then
our
seniors,
who
are
still
alive,
our
ancestors,
who
are
still
alive,
are
getting
the
funds.
A
First,
so
I
appreciate
that
thinking
but
I
think
in
part,
this
commitment
is
to
build
generational
wealth
and
Legacy
and
in
some
cases
of
even
at
least
one,
if
not
more,
of
our
current
recipients,
they
are
transferring
their
benefit
to
a
direct
Descent
of
their
son.
C
A
H
C
G
G
G
We
say
we're
going
to
use
the
money
for
these
three
things,
but
if
they
pass
away
and
they
die
intestate
and
the
court
says
okay,
this
25
000
goes
in
a
pot,
and
this
is
not
what
we
split
it
up
and
it
has
nothing
to
do
with
improving
the
house
paying
out
a
mortgage
or
anything
like
that.
That's
how
the
money
gets
spent.
G
A
There
did
you
have
something.
A
With
that,
this
is
for
Action
is
I'm.
Sorry,
council,
member
who
read
did
you
have.
J
A
No
okay,
I
move
approval,
so
I
guess
I
said:
oh.
G
G
Designation
for
power
of
attorney
and
I
have
Mari
Johnson
from
my
office,
who
worked
on
this
with
the
Sheikh.
Did
the
research
to
make
sure
that
this
was
exactly
how
it
should
be
done.
So
I
wanted
to
make
that
clear
to
the
committee
that
is
specifically
when.
H
G
A
Thank
you
for
that
clarification.
All
in
favor.
C
A
Opposed
okay,
emotion,
passes
we'll
be
going
for
communications.
We
have
a
lot
of
communications
one.
We
have
our
reparations,
Town
Hall,
which
is
going
to
be
on
October
22nd
at
the
great
Second
Baptist
Church,
which
is
downtown
Evanston
pastored
by
Reverend,
Dr,
Michael
neighbors
all
are
invited.
It
is
a
public
event
and
our
hope
is
that
everybody
on
the
committee
will
be
there.
So
OMB
rules
will
apply.
There
will
be
public
comment,
it
will
be
live
stream.
A
Is
it
interactive,
live
stream,
so
she's
set
up
or
is
it
just
a
visual
visual,
visual,
okay,
perfect
and-
and
so
is
there
any
discussion
on
the
committee
on
that?
Perfect
I'm
excited
yes
excited
about
that,
and
then
we
have
our
our
Flyers
should
be
in
the
packet.
Hopefully
you
can
share
it
with
your
networks
and
Community
as
well
we're
having
a
reparations,
our
contest,
it's
important,
that
our
young
people
get
engaged
and
start
getting
themselves
educated
and
expressing
themselves
on
their
feelings
about
reparations
through
many
ways,
including
art.
A
So
this
is
being
run
by
our
city
staff.
Here
there
are
cash
prizes
for
our
young
artists.
200
each
I
think
is
four.
A
So
200
cash
prizes.
Please
share
that
with
your
young
Networks
The
Big
Payback
there
was
a
documentary
released
on
our
work
here
in
Evanston,
and
so
it
is
really
shows
the
detail
of
what
happened
from
the
point
that
we
passed
reparations
in
2019
and
to
the
point
that
we
passed
our
first
initiative
in
2021
20.,
a.
C
A
Happening
it's
playing
at
the
Chicago
film
festival
at
the
Chicago
History
Museum
on
October,
22nd
and
23rd.
Please
do
check
it
out
if
you're
interested
and
the
next
5D
the
housing
services
provider
for
the
city
of
evanston's
local
reparations,
restorative
housing
program
I
just
want
to
bring
that
up
for
discussion.
If,
if
there
was
any
discussion
on
that
item
as
well.
M
H
A
We're
hoping
you
know
as
soon
as
we
do
have
funds
right
now.
We
do
have.
We
can't
say
exactly
how
much,
but
we
do
have
funds
in
our
in
our
reparations
funds
that
can
be
dispersed
once
we
identify
a
new
administrator
of
the
program.
So
we
hope
that
we
get
responses
on
that
and
then
oh
do
you
want
to
give
us
our
financial
donation.
I
J
Yeah,
just
question
for
I
know
that
we
a
while
ago,
Council
Cummings
and
you
engage
with
three
different
firms
to
get
opinions
on
whether
or
not
a
direct
cash
benefit
would,
you
know,
be
viewed
in
a
similar
light,
as
the
program
that
we
have
now
is
that
something
we
can
get
an
update
on
either
now
or
at
the
next
meeting.
That.
G
Opinion
has
been
shared,
I
believe
with
the
Committees
I
know
we
got
one
right,
and
so,
if
the
committee
chooses
to
to
take
that
route,
the
tax
lawyer
that
I
engaged
I
won't
say
I
found.
G
G
Were
regarding
whether
those
benefits
would
negatively
impact
folks
who
already
receive
government
benefits
and
I
forgot
what
the
third
third
item
was,
but
I
do
have
those
opinions,
I
can't
recall
what
they
are
from
my
head
right
now:
I've
received
them
sort
of
in
a
window
when
I
was
unavailable
to
the
city,
so
I
do
have
them
on
those
last
two
issues
and
I
will
share
them.
Let's.
A
A
Three
two-minute
public
comment
and
we're
going
to
start
with
Jason
Lauren
welcome.
H
We
need
reparations
to
Ripple
throughout
the
entire
community,
and
this
is
a
great
start
and
I'm
hoping
that
when
we
do
the
public
hearing,
the
public
and
a
town
hall
meeting
and
I've
been
at
both
of
those
so
far,
I
don't
see
enough
representation
from
Caucasian
residents
of
the
community
present
and
I
hope
that,
for
example,
members
of
this
Jewish
Community
could
be
invited,
perhaps
to
speak
at
that
public
comment
section
or
as
part
of
the
program.
Now.
H
H
That
is
it
critical
talking
point
when
it
comes
to
reparations
and
why
it's
owed
to
our
community
Across,
the
Nation
and
in
other
countries
as
well.
You
know
move
on,
whereas
healing
and
Reconciliation
cannot
begin
without
confronting
the
truth
of
the
United
States
history
and
it's
long
past
time
to
acknowledge
and
address
the
multiple
and
incalculable
harms
perpetrated
against
people
of
color,
black
and
Indigenous
people.
Communities
throughout
colonization,
slavery,
oppression
and
white
supremacist
policies
and
practices.
I'm
going
to
move
on
the
Jewish
tradition
holds.
C
A
A
Yes,
absolutely
thank
you
and
we
don't
respond
to
public
comment,
but
I
just
want
to
lift
up
some
of
our
Jewish
leaders,
most
active
leaders
in
this
community,
starting
with
Rabbi
Andrea
London
at
bethelma
church
and
the
entire
congregation
there
and
a
coalition
of
more
than
a
dozen
houses
of
worship
that
are
committed,
and
these
are
Ally
houses
of
worship,
non-black,
majority
houses
of
worship,
and
so,
if
anyone
wants
to
connect
with
that
Community
Reach
Out
to
Beth
Emmett
and
find
out
how
you
can
get
engaged
and
we
would
love
to
see
more
of
our
allies.
A
L
On
what
you're
doing
here,
it's
more
than
important
I
want
to
recall
that
in
1999
there
was
a
conference
on
Restorations
at
Northwestern
University,
led
by
isil,
Taylor
and
I.
Think
that
you
guys
should
find
out
more
about
that.
I,
unfortunately,
have
moved
three
offices,
so
I
can't
find
my
records,
but
that
was
a
very
a
planned
film.
Was
there
Maria
a
lot
of
people
who
are
aware
of
these
people?
I
just
want
to
say
that
a
lot
of
people
in
this
Six
Flags
do
not
have
a
house
Sunday
in
time.
L
Then
there
are
others
who
have
paid
for
and
don't
need
any
help
at
all
with
their
house.
So
there's
a
need
to
think
about
how
to
expand
reparations
so
I'm,
suggesting
one
of
the
Real
Estate
Investment
Trust,
to
take
care
of
all
the
mouth
two
of
venture
capital
group.
That
would
help
people
get
in
business,
three
Health
and
Welfare
fun.
L
I
think
I've
put
them
together
as
a
freedoms
trying
to
speak
because
you
know
and
buying
you
too
and
I
think
I
have
no
idea
with
you.
So
I
think
we
ought
to
thinking
okay,
I
I'm,
not
saying
you
should
stop
what
you're
doing
on
the
contrary,
but
as
you
can
see,
you're
thinking
currently
whether
we
have
some
nicely
that
I'd
rather
discussion.
L
F
Was
just
going
to
say
that
I
was
in
agreement
with
both
Claire
fun
and
Devon
that
we
should
increase
the
ask
above
3
million
I
mean
I'm
a
salesperson
at
heart
and
I
was
going
to
say
to
ask
for
more
than
5
million,
but
you
guys
already
voted
on
that
and
then
councilman
Council
Cummins
Cummings
had
mentioned
that
you
couldn't
specify
race
when
inquiring
about
money
from
the
arpa
funds
and
I
was
going
to
say
that
I
know
that
Family
Focus
was
is
going
to
receive
three
million
dollars
for
the
immigrants
welcome
center
and
that
they
had
specified
that
it's
for
the
Latino
community
that
they're
receiving
considering
that
Evanston
has
been
receiving
immigrants
for
years
decades
decades.
A
N
Good
morning,
good
morning,
I
don't
know
what
the
real
money
is
going
to
from
either
the
transfer
tax
or
even
the
for
when
you
need
something
done
in
your
house
on
your
pet,
because
I
had
it
and
no
one
ever
came
to
check
it
out,
but
any
black
person
who
owns
or
rents
and-
and
it
happens
then,
who
has
a
home,
needs
some
kind
of
repair
or
maintenance,
so
reparations
money
for
all
African
Americans
should
go
for
income
producing
benefiting
all
Africa
American
generations
with
roots
since
the
beginning
of
the
1800s,
going
back
to
19,
whatever
it's
not
using
all
of
the
people,
not
even
thinking
about
all
of
the
people
who
had
red
lightning
from
the
time
they
came
to
us
and
I
think
this
is
not
16.
N
A
I
E
M
First
I'd
like
to
thank
you
for
making
the
meetings
hybrid-
it's
very
important
and
I
wouldn't
have
been
able
to
attend
today.
If
you
didn't
do
that,
so
I
really
appreciate
that,
and
so
do
the
other
seniors
and
people
with
health
conditions.
M
Number
two
economic
development
for
the
arm
for
money
has
already
designated
the
five
million
dollars,
so
maybe
you'll
have
to
call
it
something
else,
because
they
had
a
certain
amount
that
they
were
going
to
use
for
each
category
and
they've
already
designated
the
5
million
for
economic
development
number
three,
the
real
estate
transfer
tax
and
probably
why
you
couldn't
use
it
earlier
was
because
that
money
goes
to
affordable
housing
fund.
So
people
were
not
going
to
use
that
for
anything
else,
except
the
Affordable
housing
fund.
M
Then
I
thought
maybe
that
this
committee
should
combine
the
donations
and
the
Cannabis
money
into
one
pot,
and
then
we
would
know
how
much
is
in
there
without
devoting
how
much
the
money
would
be.
So,
for
instance,
if
you
have
a
million
dollars
in
the
Cannabis
tax
and
you
have
500
000
in
donation
and
you
put
them
together
and
each
maybe
quarter,
you
could
say
this
is
the
new
pot
and
you
wouldn't
have
to
stay
if
it
was
from
the
Cannabis
tax
or
from
donation.
M
M
I
just
put
I
I
didn't
hear
attorney
Cummings
talk
about
the
cash
payment
that
he
said
that
told
Mr
Sutton.
So
I
would
like
to
talk
about
that
next
time,
if
possible
and
open
the
application
for
cash
payment
and
in
response
to
the
earlier
gentleman
with
including
the
Jewish
Community
I'm,
not
saying
not
to
include
the
Jewish
Community,
but
they
have
received
reparations
already
and
maybe
next
time
a
robin
chair,
Robin.
M
You
can
talk
to
him
or
talk
to
the
committee
in
public
next
time
about
the
Jewish
Community
I
know
you
did
several
conferences
with
made
of
this
and
the
synagogue
and
mayor
Miss
talked
about
his
relative
receiving
cash
payment
for
reparations.
So
maybe
we
could
talk
about
that
next
time.
Thank
you
so
much
and
have
a
good
day.
Everyone
thank.
K
Thank
you
so
much
first
I'd
just
like
to
say
thank
you
so
much
councilman,
Robin
roo,
as
well
as
the
committee
members
for
all
the
work
that
you
are
doing
and
continuing
to
push
forward
on
this.
My
first
thought
was
I
wanted
to
ask.
If
there
was
going
to
be
a
education
component
added
to
the
reparations
being
able
to
obtain
an
advanced
producer
would
help
African-American
families
in
Evanston
to
achieve
equality,
Independence
and
prosperity.
K
It
would
also
even
the
playing
field
for
African-Americans
to
achieve
higher
incomes
on
their
car
on
our
current
jobs
and
to
meet
the
rate
of
inflation
happening
right
now.
Being
afforded
reparations
would
also
help
African-American
families,
who
are
already
in
an
economic
drain,
to
be
able
to
pay
for
their
young
adults
education
and
to
achieve
generational
wealth
like
their
white
counterparts,
to
not
put
a
strain
on
young
adults
to
be
able
to
take.
K
I
She's
still
on
screen,
but
something
wrong
with
her
volume.
Okay,.
A
L
O
O
I'm,
a
researcher
at
Johns,
Hopkins,
University
I,
did
my
graduate
work
in
Chicago
and
I
am
conducting
a
case
study
on
the
Evanston
reparations
ordinance.
I
just
wanted
to
introduce
myself
and
let
you
know
that
I'll
be
reaching
out
over
email,
I've
reached
out
to
a
couple
of
you
already
and
just
to
have
a
short
interview
and
conversation
about
the
origin
of
the
housing
ordinance
and
the
political
conditions
around
developing
the
ordinance
and
so
I'd
love
to
be
in
conversation
with,
as
many
of
you
as
possible.
O
I'll
drop
my
contact
information
in
the
chat
here
to
share
out
after
the
meeting.
If
anyone
wants
to
reach
out
and
is
willing
to
be
interviewed,
I
really
and
am
in
awe
of
all
the
work
that
you
all
are
doing
here
and
I'm
excited
to
be
in
conversation.
I
K
I
am
so
sorry,
well,
I
I
dropped.
My
comments
in
the
the
chat
to
everyone.
I
am
not
sure
my
audio
is
going
in
and
out
so
I'm
gonna
try
to
see
if
I
can
drop
it
into
the
chat.
If.
K
A
Okay
with
that,
may
we
have
a
motion
to
adjourning.
