A
Good
evening,
everyone
thank
you
all
for
being
here,
I'd
like
to

to

we'll
first
start
with
the

Excuse

Our

of
discussion

First,

the
restorative
housing
program
staff
is
seeking
further
direction
from
the
committee
in
terms
of
next
steps
for
the
first

A
She's

all
can
take
a
moment,
I
will
move
to
item

which

That's

here.
A
Yeah,

Our
meeting
dates
are
confirmed.
Next
up,
we
have
item
4a,
which
is
the
financial
reports
that
you
touchy.
Yes,
perfect.
F
So,
as
of
november,
the
24th,
the
city
received
31
510
dollars
to
the
reparations
fun.
A
Right,
no,
we
we're
going
to
place
it
on
file.
I'm
sorry
was
the
dollar
amount
again.
F
D
Turn
up,
I
am
so
excited
about
community
wealth
day.
It
is
happening
on
saturday.
It's
a
long
time
coming.
We
had
such
great
outcomes
from
community
wealth
day
in
2019
pre-pandemic.
We
have
folks
that
left
pre-approved
for
mortgages.
Then,
and
this
year
we
have
a
financial
institution
that
has
committed
to
reparations
with
us.
D
That
is
going
to
make
a
really
exciting
announcement
about
a
mortgage
product
that
is
available
to
reparation
eligible
residents.
So
this
is
not
just
the
original
16
that
will
be
selected,
but
it
is
all
reparation
eligible
residents
in
evanston
will
receive
a
special
mortgage
offer
from
self-help
credit
union.
D
It
is
a
non-profit
credit
union
that
is
nationwide
and
they
have
a
location
on
the
south
side
of
chicago,
so
they
are
extending
their
service
area
to
include
the
reparation
eligible
residents
of
evanston
with
a
special
program,
and
so
we
do
hope
that
you
can
come
learn
more
about
that.
There
will
also
be
other
housing
policy
experts
and
affordable
housing
advocates
and
many
in
the
nonprofit
space.
D
But
in
addition
to
that,
we'll
have
our
black
real
estate
professionals
that
are
there
vending
they
will
be
realtors
and
contractors
and
real
estate
attorneys
and
insurance
agents
all
black,
and
our
hope
is
that
this
community
wealth
day
is
a
place
where
we
can
begin
to
have
a
solidarity,
economic
goal
and
support
one
another
in
business
and
use
our
reparation
benefits
and
other
benefits
to
grow
wealth
in
the
black
community.
It
is
saturday
the
fourth,
it's
all
day,
long
from
nine
to
three.
There
is
licensed
child
care
and
there's
food.
D
The
vendor,
the
food
vendor
is
our
very
own
yo
fresh
yogurt,
the
lovely
couple
that's
located
on
chicago
avenue:
please
go
there
and
support
them.
They
will
be
providing
lunch
and
snacks
at
the
community
wealth
day.
It's
at
faith
temple
church.
If
I
didn't
mention
that
which
is
on
dewey,
the
exact
address
is
miss
lockhart.
You
probably
know
the
exact
address,
they're.
B
D
G
D
And
sponsored
by
dearborn
realtors,
which
is
the
chicago
chapter
of
narab,
the
national
association
of
real
estate
brokers,
which
is
the
nation's
oldest
black
real
estate
trade
association.
They
were
founded
many
years
ago
because
they
were
not
invited
to
be
real
estate
professionals.
A
I
don't
know
if
she's
here,
but
this
is
one
of
the
things,
and
I
just
want
to
thank
I'll
call
you
the
honorable
ambassador,
to
reparations
since,
because
I
mean
she
started
this
work
years
ago
and
and
so
the
first
one
went
over
with
incredible
success.
A
And
then
during
the
community
meetings
there
were
a
number
of
questions
around
home
ownership
and
I
I
want
to
say
and
not
characterize
the
whole
sessions.
But
there
was
a
question
from
an
individual
who
was
waiting
for
the
repair
to
be
issued
before
she
started,
and
any
of
you
who,
who
own
a
home
or
have
gone
through
the
process,
is
something
that
that
does
take
some
time.
A
So
this
event,
the
resurfacing
of
this
event,
was,
was
really
due
to
lab
to
from
the
from
the
residents
who
participate
in
our
community
events,
so
whether
you're
a
first-time
homeowner
you're,
looking
to
refinance
or
you're
just
looking
to
get
into
investment
properties.
I
would
encourage
you
all
to
attend,
and
please
please,
please
spread
the
word.
It
isn't
very
often
that
we
have
banks
institutions
coming
to
our
town,
real
estate
agents,
contractors,
everyone
in
the
same
place.
A
So
if
you
have
an
interest
in
a
property,
if
it's
one
of
your
goals
for
2022
I'd
strongly
urge
that
you
attend
as
well
register
register
register.
The
information
is
out
there
and
if
you
have
questions
I
see
miss
mccoy.
Can
you
please
raise
your
hand?
So
people
know
that
that
you're
here,
if
you
have
any
questions
regarding
the
event,
please
see
mrs
vanessa
mccoy,
who
is.
H
I
do
have
a
question
please,
for
persons
who
are
not
able
to
register
online.
A
A
A
B
A
B
A
H
Just
came
before
this
kimberly
gives
her
report.
Can
we
just
give
a
round
of
applause
for
the
amount
of
applications
that
we
got
over.
B
A
A
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
and
my
apologies
for
for
rushing
over
that.
That
is
very
true.
So
here
we
are,
you
know
we
spend
a
lot
of
time
with
our
staff
we're
as
well
as
our
partner,
I'd
like
to
tell
thank
bonnie
claire
for
participating,
ambassador
simmons
for
her
comments
and
then
there's
also
another
staff
member
audrey
thompson,
who
was
present
a
lot
of
the
the
areas
of
focus
for
these
conversations
with
the
agency.
That
will
help
to
provide
a
number
of
things:
they're,
all
they're,
bringing
the
money
to
the
table.
A
They're
also
there
to
help
keep
the
the
process
organized.
I
guess
for
lack
of
better
words
and
so
for
the
committee
members.
A
Whenever
kimberly's
ready,
we
can
have
a
discussion
in
the
high
points
of
what
we've
worked
out
and
then
we'll
listen
to
your
feedback
and
move
on.
I
just
want
to
remind
people
and
I'll
constantly
do
that.
This
is
just
the
just
four
percent
of
the
10
million
dollars
and
we
can't
spend
what
we
don't
have.
So
this
is
money,
that's
budgeted
and
ready
to
go
and
we'll
be
looking
forward
to
awarding
our
first
16
and
also
being
the
first
in
the
country
to
to
issue
the
repair
kim.
Oh,
please.
D
This
is
kind
of
not
part
of
the
agenda,
but
I
was
downtown
evanston.
Did
I
notice
a
new
dispensary
coming
soon
on
davis?
So
that's
sad
too.
Is
it
yeah?
So
I
say
that
to
say.
B
D
Soon,
sign
on
so.
A
A
C
And
so
that
would
have
to
go
back
to
cal
severity
type
of.
C
Want
to
see
up
by
the
may
yes,
so
her
discussion
at
our
previous
meeting
we
had,
you
know
we
knew
the
numbers
were
going
to
end
up
on
the
higher
end,
and
so
we
requested
that.
Could
we
start
with
the
review
of
the
ancestors,
and
so
you
all,
thankfully,
agreed,
and
so
that's
where
we
started
so
all
of
the
146
applications
that
were
received.
C
They
were
categorized
as
ancestors
and
in
those
numbers
we
have
updated
numbers
because,
as
you
may
know,
we
have
some
outstanding
and
what
outstanding
meant
is.
They
did
not
qualify
either
because
they
didn't
provide
any
id
a
government-issued
id
or
that
had
a
picture
id
with
them
or
that
they
did
not
provide
the
correct
documentation.
C
C
C
We
did
have
17
individuals
who
did
not
qualify
and
the
qualification.
The
reason
that,
for
that
inability
to
qualify
was
due
to
their
age
or
due
to
incomplete
information
that
once
verified
they
were
still
it
was.
They
were
still
not
qualified,
so
they
were
qualified
as
a
direct
descendant,
not
as
a
ancestor.
H
C
We
have
to
acknowledge
that
if
we're
going
to
stick
to
that
age
range
that
those
individuals
which
were
the
majority
of
them,
I
mean
we
had
someone
who
was
born
in
1984
trying
I
mean
applying
as
an
ancestor,
so
we
had
to
acknowledge
that
they
were
not
qualified
in
this
category.
So
what
we
would
do
for
those
individuals
once
we've
kind
of
once
everyone
has
agreed
to
us
cutting
us
off.
We
can
then
verify
and
say
if
you
you
qualify
or
you
apply
under
ancestor.
C
However,
you
should
be
qualified
a
direct
descendant.
Would
you
please
update
your
information
so
that
we
can
then
put
you
in
the
correct
category,
but
that's
a
separate
process
and
that
doesn't
need
to
hinder
moving
forward
with
where
we're
at
today,
with
with
the
ancestor
categories
being
finalized.
E
C
Yes,
yes,
yep,
because
the
information
was
id
and
documents
and
we
knew
like
they
this
the
reason
why
we
were
comfortable
that
they
were
going
to
be
verifiable
was
because
it
was
literally
everything
matched
it
just
didn't,
have
a
picture
id,
and
so
what
we
wanted
to
do
is
make
sure
we're
consistent
so
anytime,
if
someone
ever
wanted
to
come
back
and
say
well,
how
did
you
do.
B
C
We
can
say
everyone
had
the
same
information,
so
we
knew
they
probably
would
be
verifiable.
It
was
just
a
matter
of
just
getting
the
corrected
information
now,
as
for
those
third,
those
additional
that
are
outstanding
still,
we
will
need
to
do
one
final
reach
out
and
we
were
discussing
that,
possibly
by
phone
just
to
make
sure
those
individuals,
if
they
are
not
looking
at
email,
that
they
have
a
follow-up
phone
call
but
again
trying
to
move
this
along.
E
So
so
in
in
thinking
about
that,
can
you
be
very
specific
about
how
you
have
is
that?
Has
it
just
been
through
repeated
emails,
correct,
okay
and.
E
E
A
C
Mean
some
people
really
like
responded
immediately.
Some
people
responded
literally
within
a
couple
of
minutes
and
a
couple
hours,
so
these
13
haven't
responded
at
all,
so
we
were
going
to
reach
out
by
phone,
but
we
wanted
to
not
again,
we
needed
your
direction
on
when
we
should
cut
this
off,
because
we
want
to
be
clear
that
this
is
not
a
staff
decision.
B
E
You
know,
although
the
applications
came
in
online,
and
so
they
would
have
had
to
have.
You
know
some
initial
familiarity
with
it.
To
do
that,
I
I
can't
imagine
scenarios
where
there
was
a
lot
of
assistance
and
we
did
offer
assistance
anticipating
we
wanted
to
remove
that
barrier
for
particularly
for
the
age
group.
You
know
that
they
ancestor
qualify
as
ancestors.
E
B
D
C
So
we've
been
very,
very,
very
protective
of
not
sharing
the
name,
so
we
will
do
our
best
to
reach
out
in
the
methods
that
we
know
that
is
achievable.
Okay,
again,
those
who,
actually,
in
that
instance,
we
have
a
couple
people
who
their
it
was
their
their
relative
or
friend
email,
and
they
even
said
this
is
not.
I
am
not
such
and
such,
but
this
is
their
information,
so
we
have
had
that
situation
happen,
but
we
will
reach
out
and
we
will
share
with
you
all
when
we
get
to
that
point
of
okay.
C
We've
now
done
x,
y
z.
I
think
if
I
sent
a
letter,
it's
going
to
slow
down
the
process
because
we
can't
depend
on
the
metal,
so
we'll
figure
out
how
best
we'll
make
a
couple
attempts
we're
not
just
going
to
leave
one
call
and
say
we're
done
we'll
at
least
try
to
spread
them
out
over
a
couple
of
days,
but
I
just
need
a
date.
A
E
D
C
H
B
B
H
D
Think
even
the
15th
is
because
we're
getting
like
really
into
the
holiday
time,
so
it's
not
that
they
have
not
there's
been
multiple
emails
that
came
in
in
the
same
way
that
they
communicated
to
to
us.
So
next
week
seems
to
be
you
know:
you're
gonna
make
multiple
phone
calls.
I
think
that
we
should
consider
next
week.
D
I
I'm
quickly
open
to
both
I
just
want
to
whatever
we
do
for
this
group
is
only
fair.
We
do
it
for
the
next
group
in
the
next
round,
when
this
happens.
C
The
next
time,
well,
I
would
say,
with
the
direct
descendants,
because
they
are
the
majority
of
the
applicants
you're
going
to
probably
need
more
time,
because
I
have
a
feeling
that
that
group
is
going
to
require
us
to
really
have
to
do
another
round
of
check-ins,
because
it's
I
mean
the
majority
of
that
number
is
the
direct
descendant.
So
that's
going
to
be
a
herculean
process
to
verify.
E
Can
can
I
can,
I
very
guiltily,
add
another
suggestion
here,
mindful
of
your
time,
etc,
but
because,
after
the
deadline,
some
people
might
be
cut
off.
I
would
not
rely
on
a
letter,
but
I
might
send
out
a
letter
saying
we
have
made
these
different
yeah.
These
different
attempts
to
notify
you
and
you
know
so
so
that
they
they.
E
We
can
get
a
letter,
no,
not
necessarily
a
letter,
as
I'm
not
suggesting
a
letter
to
reach
out
for
the
contact.
I'm
not
hopeful
for
that,
because
the
the
you
know
vagaries
in
the
mail
system,
these
days
etc.
But
I
do
think
that,
if
we're
not
able
to
make
contact
with
the
13
and
then
someone
is
cut
off
in
the
deadline,
a
letter
then
saying
we
attempted
on
these
days
to
contact
you
and
you'll
be
moved
into
the
direct
descendant
just
to
be
clear.
A
C
C
And
everyone
so
per
our
guidelines.
All
applicants
will
receive
a
letter
of
some
sort.
So
one's
going
to
be
receiving
a
letter
saying
you
have
been
identified,
verified
as
an
ancestor
and
will
be
consider.
It
will
be
a
part
of
the
selection
process.
Another
letter
is
going
to
say
due
to
these
criteria's.
C
You
do
not
meet
the
ancestor
category,
however,
you
are,
will
you
are
able
to
submit
for
direct
ascendant
with
these
x
y
and
z
requirements
and
then,
the
last
being
we
attempted
to
reach
out
to
you
to
verify
through
these
methods
of
communication
and
had
not
heard
back
for
you
from
at
this
date,
if
unable
to
provide,
by
date,
certain
whatever
that
is,
you
will
be
moved
into
the
direct
ascendant
category,
but
we
still
need
you
to
reach
out
to
us
to
verify
that
this
application
is
valid.
That
sounds
great.
Okay,.
C
So
do
we
have
the
direct
descendants
that
we
do
need
to
probably
send
something
to
them
say
hey.
We
did
receive
your
application,
however,
we
are
prioritizing
the
ancestors
first,
please
be
patient,
and
once
we
get
to
the
direct
descendants,
we
will
be
notifying
that
process
when
that
verification
process
begins
right.
C
C
The
amount
right
that
or
to
approve
the
process,
so
we
can
say
we've
we
have
16
we
now
moving
forward.
We
have
a
hundred.
We
have
x
amount
of
people,
we're
going
to
select
the
16
out
of
that,
and
this
council
can't
vote
to
as
an
action
as
a
resolution
or
something
to
acknowledge
those
16
will
be
selected
at
a
future
date.
I'm
just.
A
I
guess
my
recommendation
would
then
just
well
not
even
a
bit
yeah,
not
even
a
bills
list,
but
just
put
it
on
ap
and
sorry
for
those
put
it
on
administrative
public
works
and
just
accept
and
put
it
on
file,
because.
B
C
Is
receiving
the
the
so
here's
what
happened
so
back
in
april,
there
was
discussion
that
we
need
to
prove
this.
We
need
to
take
final
action
on
this,
the
16.
that
was
the
discussion
at
the
council
level
in
april.
So
I
guess
the
question.
The
council
wants
to
be
the
final,
the
final
action
of
these
this,
so
we
have
to
probably
pull
first
and
then
submit
to
council
16
the
16.,
so
we
probably
are
going
to
have
to
do
that.
First.
D
Wait
a
second
because
we
we
talked
about
this,
like
you
said
in
the
last
committee,
and
it
is
a
the
commitment-
has
been
made
by
a
act
by
a
by
a
council
action
that
we
have
committed
to
doing
this
as
a
city.
So
at
this
point
it's
a
bills
list
item,
so
I'm
I
want
to
be
clear
on
what
you're
saying
needs
further
approval
other
than
approving
the
budget,
as
we
do
any
other
financial
line
item.
C
So,
but
the
way
that
this
is
going
to
be
implemented,
it's
not
just
going
to
be
a
bill's
list,
because
you're
going
through
probably
we
we're
going
to
have
to
go
through
another
entity
to
disperse
this
to
manage
the
disbursement
so
they're
going
to
get
the
bill
back
per
the
the
guidelines
the
council
makes.
The
final
act
takes
the
final
action
before
disbursement
occurs.
Right.
That's.
C
A
A
My
thought
is,
rather
than
send
the
names
for
our
city
council
to
approve
that,
in
terms
of
a
process
moving
forward.
That
doesn't
make
sense
to
me
just
in
the
simple
fact
that,
if
someone
for
some
crazy
reason,
whether
it's
today,
tomorrow
or
in
four
years,
was
to
say
no
to
a
name
that
compromises
are
all
of
our
efforts.
So
I
think,
if
we're
looking
at
our
current
situation
with
the
first
16
that
represents
the
first
four
percent
of
the
funds.
Is
that
we'll
authorize
the
transfer
of
those
funds
to
the
entity?
A
B
H
A
Can't
determine
it
now
yeah
and
the
reason
that
we're
having
the
discussion
now
is
because
this
is
our
last
meeting
for
the
year.
So,
if
there's
an
action
that
needs
to
take
place,
I'm
trying
to
bring
that
clarity
to
the
conversation
and
for
members
of
our
public
and
anyone
who's
listening
at
home.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
engagement.
A
It's
we're
now
into
the
weeds
of
of
the
distribute
of
the
distribution,
and
so
where
do
we
want
to
be
very
careful
and
meticulous
that
we're
not
missing
any
steps
to
ensure
that
we
have
a
really
good,
clean
process
that
everyone
can
understand?
Thank
you.
C
Okay,
so
per
page
10
of
the
guidelines,
it's
it
states
section,
9
disbursement
process
upon
approval
by
city
council
funds
will
be
disbursed
electronically
or
via
check
to
closing
agent
for
dispersable
dispersal.
When
an
applicant
closes
on
a
home
purchase
to
the
contractor,
upon
receipt
of
invoice
or
to
the
lender
for
mortgage
payment.
B
D
Says
right
there
upon
a
city
council
approval,
we're
talking
about
what
is
city
council
approving
other
than
this
first
allocation,
because
we
passed
it
by
in
march
of
2021,
we
passed
in
november
of
19.
so
other
than
the
city
council
saying
like
they
do
anything
else.
Okay,
we're
building
this
park,
we're
approving
these
funds
we're
moving
forward
on
this
action.
What
more
is
there
for
for
them
to
approve.
I
A
So
can
I
make
a
suggestion
to
our
staff
just
so
we
move
forward,
so
obviously
nick
is
not
here
and
then,
if
we
need
to
take
further
action,
I
think
we're
all
committed
to
moving
this
forward
if
we
can
leave
ourselves
open
to
a
virtual
meeting
at
some
point
once
we
get
clarity,
obviously
we're
not
going
to
be
able
to
solve
this
issue
now
right.
I.
A
B
C
Think
what
you
have
to
move
to
council
is
is
the
cipa
agreement,
because
they're
the
one
that's
going.
If,
if,
if
the
committee
agrees
to
this
process
of
bringing
cpa
as
a
third
party
to
disperse
then
they're
the
ones,
that's
dispersing
the
the
dollars,
not
they're
indirectly,
not
the
city,
the
city
is
funding
it,
but
they're
the
ones
dispersing
it,
and
so
then
they
would
have
to
take
that
action.
But
we
are
not
close
to
even
bringing
it
to
committee
to
even
have
that
conversation
go
to
counsel.
C
Well,
we've
been
talking
about
this
since
april.
This
has
not
just
started
today,
but
at
the
end
of
the
at
the
direction
that
I
was
given,
we
need
to
figure
out
how
to
disburse
funds.
We
can
discuss
deepa
the
next
step,
but
I
guess
the
question
is:
do
we
just
wait
and
have
that
all
together
packaged
to
go
to
council?
That
means
you
will
have
to
wait
till
january.
Well,.
A
A
G
D
B
A
I
don't
want
to
be
argumentative,
but
I
want
to
make
it
clear
that
the
first
step
that
we're
in
a
lot
of
moving
pieces
is
there
anything
that
requires
council
approval.
The
reason
that
we're
trying
to
get
that
question
answered
is
we
only
have
one
date
in
december.
So
if
we
don't
have
anything
that
needs
council
approval
and
again,
if
between
this
action
and
when
you
circle
back
with
nick
because
he
isn't
here,
then
I
would
like
to
leave
it
open
for
us
to
have
a
virtual
meeting
we're
moving
with
the
assumption
it's
disbursement.
C
B
D
C
A
C
B
C
Is
supposed
to
prove
it,
but
we
don't
have
to
disper.
The
city
could
have
a
designee,
it
doesn't
like.
We
have
about
the
programs,
and
so
I
am
going
to
be
honest.
We
do
not
have
the
capacity
to
do
this
program
as
an
administrative
staff
to
disperse
funds
and
and
talking
with
councilmember
brave
weight.
Chair.
C
C
Nor
do
we
have
the
time
that
needs
to
be
invested
to
ensure
funding
is
getting
to
the
appropriate
individuals
and
that
they're
not
going
to
be
in
any
harms
and
relate
to
the
projects
that
they
may
end
up.
Selecting
we've
had
a
relationship
with
cipa
who
has
done
housing
continue
to
do
housing
programs
in
partnership
with
the
city.
It
was
an
actual
partnership
to
to
come
with
to
the
committee.
C
J
C
C
D
D
Have
committed
discussions
when
we're
having
these
types
of
exclusive
agreements
with
organizations
so
that
we
can
share
in
the
discussion.
So
I
think
the
only
thing
that's
left
pending
now
is
a
discussion
about
cepa.
It
sounds
like
we've
agreed
on
the
process.
D
We
don't
have
much
council
action
left
other
than
the
approval
of
the
specific
dollars
or
the
names,
and
that
the
only
thing
pending
is
this
fiduciary
relationship
and
that's
what
we
should
be
discussing.
A
So,
thank
you.
First,
I
want
to
recognize
that
we
have
council
member
our
corporate
council
nicholas
cummings
with
us.
We
had
a
previous
discussion
prior
to
walking
into
the
room
regarding
council
approval
and
steps
towards
issuing.
So
that's
the
first
thing,
so
I'm
glad
that
you're
here
kimberly
just
read
the
rules
and
then
the
second
question,
we'll
answer
is
our
the
mou
and
the
relationship
with
entity
to
help
us
to
deliver
the
first
repair.
A
B
J
So
the
way
that
I
understand
this
this
the
section
9
to
be
written
is
that
the
committee
will
have
selected
applicants.
Correct
x,
number
of
applicants
equals
x
number
of
dollars.
That
disbursement
would
need
to
be
approved
by
council
and
then
all
the
other
work
administrative
work
will
be
handled
under
the
mlu.
D
C
D
D
Just
walking
back
through
the
process
since
we're
here
now,
and
so
that
was
something
that
I
remember
and
then
if
there
is
a
cost,
and
it's
going
to
be,
I
remember
discussion
distinctly
that
the
the
possible
fiduciary
in
this
case.
What
is
it
cpa,
would
possibly
identify
funds
or
raise
funds,
as
as
their
own
entity
or
non-profit,
to
be
able
to
support.
C
C
When
you
start
getting
to
the
weeds,
you
realize
there's
more
work
behind
us
than
you
think
of
just
hanging,
someone
cutting
a
check.
So
that's
where
we're
trying
to
figure
out
what
that
cost
would
look
like
if
there
is
a
cause
sipa
in
full
transparency.
So
we
want
to
be
a
partner
in
this
in
some
form
of
fashion.
C
We
will
gladly
be
able
to
do
disbursement,
but,
as
we
are
looking
at
project
management
with
certain
projects
for
seniors
who
may
not
have
any
background
in
construction
management,
there
are
some
things
in
there
that
cipa
has
a
history
of
providing
a
service
for.
So
we
are
trying
to
figure
out
what
that
looks
like
and
what,
where
expectations
of
cpa
is
so
they
can
give
us
if
they're
in
need
for
a
dollar
amount,
we
can
then
fundraise
or
they
can
fund,
raise
to
get
that
money
to
offset
that
cost.
C
J
A
Accurate,
so
if
we
can
just
focus
ms,
I
know
I
we
understand
your
question
and
it's
in
this
conversation
that
we're
clarifying
that,
and
so
I
want
to
be
respectful
to
those
that
are
here
and
the
only
time
that
the
public
is
asked
to
speak
is
during
public
comment.
So
we're
going
to
I'm
going
to
ask
you
one
more
time.
I'm
going
to
we
hear
your
question
so.
A
Here's
how
we
we
we
got
there,
and
this
is
an
important
conversation
to
have
throughout
the
process,
and
this
this
conversation
took
place
two
meetings
ago,
I
shared
with
with
kimberly
that
we're
really
going
into
the
weeds-
and
I
think
claire,
I'm
going
to
ask
you,
because
you
shared
a
statistic
in
terms
of
the
harm
to
seniors
that
that
started
us
down
this
path,
and
if
you
can
share
that
statistic
of
the
harm
towards
seniors,
I
can't
remember
I
should
have
written
it
down.
E
For
this
year,
but
they're
when
we
look
at
the
crime
of
financial
exploitation,
thank
you.
There
is
a
huge
it's
something
like
between
80
to
90
percent
are
aimed
at
the
elderly,
and
so
with
that
in
mind,
and
unfortunately,
a
lot
of
the
financial
exploitation
comes
from
people
who
are
familiar
with
them.
E
So
with
that
in
mind,
we're
trying
to
put
some
things
in
place
and
and
be
mindful
that,
with
with
these
people,
don't
become
that
our
ancestors
don't
become
vulnerable
to
financial
exploitation,
with
the
award
of
the
money
that
that's
able
to
that.
That's
actually
used
to
benefit
them
in
the
way
that
they
choose
that
they're
we're
not
coming
back
with
rogue
contractors
with
some.
E
You
know,
mechanics
liens
and
whatever
yeah
coming
out
of
this
process,
so
we're
trying
to
put
being
aware
of
people's
dignity
and
independence
and
so
forth,
but
also
trying
to
give
them
the
resources
so
not
babysitting
them,
but
trying
to
give
people
the
resources
so
that
they
can.
You
know
that
they
can
use
this
in
the
way
they
can.
Their
plans
can
actually
come
to
fruition
and
and
try
to
put
some
safeguards
and
things
in
place
against
the.
D
Financial
wellness-
and
I
think,
if
we
had
the
first
of
office
and
administrative
action,
then
we
this
could
have
happened
without
this
discussion,
but
if
it
is
going
to
need
a
a
legislative
or
some
sort
of
council
or
committee
action,
then
it
would
be
difficult
to
even
continue
this
discussion
without
the
mou
understanding.
Is
it
mandatory
that
they
go
through
sifa,
I
mean
some
ancestors
are
fully
competent
to
manage
their
own
improvements.
A
Two
meetings
ago,
I
brought
it
up,
and
I
specifically
pointed
to
mr
sutton
and
I
said
pretty
much
summarizing
claire's
point
anyone
that
has
been
involved
with
the
construction
project,
whether
locally
or
someone.
You
know
there
are
so
many
opportunities
for
conflict
in
terms
of
expectations
of
work
that
that
we
all
have
experienced
at
some
times
the
other.
If
you've
been
involved
with
that,
and
so
our
attempt
and
we've
talked
about,
you
know
utilizing
an
organization
like
sipa
and
I
said
we're
going
to
myself
clear.
A
A
A
So
so
that's
that's!
That's
the
conversation,
that's
where
we
are
right
now,
and
so
I
know
nick
you,
you
wanted
to
say
something
but
again,
if
those
details
were
lost
with
the
committee
we're
not
taking
on
action
before
it
comes
to
the
committee,
what
we're
saying
is
the
cake
isn't
even
half
baked
yet
to
give
you
something
to
read
to
take
action
on.
Is
that
pretty
well
before
before
we,
because
before
we
get
into
another
round
of
questions,
nick
did
you
that's.
C
C
We
initially,
I
initially
reached
out
to
cipa,
because
I
needed
someone
to
help
me
with
disbursement,
and
it
literally
was.
Can
you
just
be
the
person
to
cut
the
check
to
give
to
the
financial
institutions
and
to
the
vendor,
like
I
was
thinking
very
naively
like
all
I
need
you
do
is
to
do.
Is
administrative
action.
We
will
give
you
the
names.
We
will
do
all
the
application
processes.
C
We
will
take
care
of
the
back
end,
but
you
will
be
the
one
as
the
fiduciary
partner
to
cut
the
check
again.
The
reason
why
is
because
we
cannot
manage
making
sure
that
we
are
getting
vendors
paid
on
time
or
someone's
checking
up
with
the
vendor?
We
don't
have
the
same
type
of
relationship
with
the
financial
institutions
like
cpub
would
have
to
make
sure
that
the
correct
mortgage
payment
is
getting
paid
in
the
way
that
the
individual
has
requested.
C
We
started
talking
about
construction
management
because
I
went
through
sipa's
previous
program
with
the
city,
and
I
said
well:
would
that
be
a
nice
option
for
people
who
may
not
want
to
do
it
on
their
own?
Could
we
look
at
an
option
to
where
if
they
chose
that
they
were
saying,
you
know
what
this
may
be
a
little
bit
out
of
my
my
scope
of
knowledge.
I
want
someone
to
help
me.
C
We
had
a
partner
already
there
ready
to
be
able
to
provide
that
assistance,
and
then
the
conversation
continued
to
go
on
about
well,
you
know
there
are
some
other
things
that
we
may
want
as
a
benefit
to
those
beneficiaries
that
cepa
provides.
They
could
also
provide
those
benefits
to
them
on
their
own.
That's
not
something
the
city
is
requesting,
and
so
we
wanted
to
flush
out
and
provide
the
committee
with
a
very
clear
proposal.
C
C
C
I
don't
think
we've
gotten
this
done
this
quickly
to
get
us
to
somewhere
where
we
can
begin
the
process
of
actual
disbursement
at
the
beginning
of
the
year,
and
I
think
if
we
go
through
a
committee
process,
the
way
that
our
committees
are
structured,
this
would
have
dragged
out
for
many
many
months
and
so
we're
trying
to
accelerate
this.
So
we
can
get
something
in
front
of
you.
It
will
be
in
a
packet.
People
will
have
a
understanding
of
what
the
expectations
are.
C
Nothing
that
we're
going
to
do,
even
if
it's
administrative
will
not
happen
without
you,
as
the
committee
having
some
part
or
some
in
some
action
towards
it,
even
if
it
doesn't
require
the
city
council
action.
So
I
just
want
to
be
clear.
We
weren't
prepared
to
talk
about
cipa
today.
So
that's
why
I
did
not
have
it
on
the
committee
on
an
agenda,
but
when
that
time
comes,
our
hope
is
to
bring
cipa
here.
J
And
if
and
if
robin
and
chair
braithwaite,
if
you
guys
recall
when
we
were
a
subcommittee,
there
was
discussion
about
staff,
the
necessity
of
city
staff
in
order
to
administer
the
program
right,
neither
program
manager,
et
cetera,
et
cetera.
We
don't
have
that
right
and
so
cepa
being
an
organization
that
has
you
know,
resources
and.
I
A
A
D
Is
just
my
last
comment
on
it
and
completely
respect
we've?
Always
you
know
expected
that
there
would
be
a
capacity
challenge
and
talked
about
a
designated
staff
person.
I
use
the
example
of
nsp2
and
jolene
saul
or
whatever
it's
going
to
be.
I
think
just
that
we
haven't
had
a
robust
conversation
named
who
it
was
talked
about
any
details
of
the
mou.
D
When
there
was
an
introduction
about
compensation
for
some
sort
of
financial
agreement,
we
had
a
consensus
that
we
didn't
support
that.
So
we
just,
I
think,
just
more
information
would
be
necessary
and
then,
if
there
is
going
to
be
some
sort
of
compensation
and
they're
not
doing
it
as
a
non-profit
partner,
then
there's
probably
going
to
need
to
be
a
lot
more
discussion
about
it.
D
So
I
just
think
that
this
dialogue
is
premature
because
we
don't
have
enough
information
in
front
of
us,
but
the
way
that
it
was
thrown
out
there
like
sepa
and
the
mou
without
enough
information.
You
know
it's
just
difficult
to
move
forward
in
the
conversation.
I
J
If
it'd
be
attached,
it's
usually
attached
to
a
certain
amount
of
funding
when
you
have
a
memorandum
of
understanding,
but
typically,
if
it's
an
exchange
in
services,
it's
the
city,
manager's
office
and
the
entity.
J
A
J
Partner
is
handling
the
administrative
functions
that
the
staff
would
normally
handle
in
an
nsp
with
arpa
with
other
federal
funds
that
we
receive,
but
this
committee
has
already
said:
we're
not
funding
any
sort
of
administrative
fees
with
reparations
fund
money,
so
we
don't
have
staff
to
do
it.
So
we
got
to
get
somebody
else
to
do
it
because
it
we
need
someone
to
do
it,
but
they're
not
making
any
decisions.
J
G
Yeah,
I
I
just
have
a
concern
that
we're
back
we're
having
this
discussion,
but
I'm
more
concerned
about
our
credibility
as
a
committee
to
effectively
have
the
community's
concerns
dealt
with
at
this
particular
moment
and
if
they're
all
questions
like
who's
going
to
be
doing
distributor
will
they
be
verified.
G
First,
the
people
who
have
been
selected
in
the
16th
will
they
be
given
a
letter
that
they
know
the
notification
that
they've
been
accepted.
I
A
A
This
is
a
function
of
just
local
government,
there's
always
a
lot
of
hands
that
go
into
a
product
before
we
bring
it
before
the
public.
So
this
is
no
different
than
anything
else
that
we
do,
and
so
as
soon
as
we
finalize
those
details,
we'll
then
bring
it
to
the
committee
and
just
before
the
committee
sees
it,
it
will
be
in
a
public
packet
for
everyone
to
read,
and
then
you
can
come
prepared
to
to
whatever
that
next
meeting
date
is
with
your
questions
and
comments.
Does.
C
B
C
So
we're
trying
to
take
our
time
and
do
it
right
exactly
so.
We're
measuring
we're
trying
to
measure
twice
cut
once
in
this
scenario
and
so
I've
again,
because
we
have
not
made
a
lot
of
comments
about
it
publicly
because
we
weren't
sure
if
that
was
the
direction
we
should
go
into
until
we
started
having
additional
conversations-
and
you
know
again
keeping
the
chair
in
the
loop
of
those
conversations.
C
So
this
may
slow
us
down
a
little
bit
because
we
do
need
to
do
this
right
and-
and
I
think
patience
is
asked
and
we
will
continue
to
be
transparent
when
decisions
are
being
made.
No
decisions
have
been
made.
All
we're
trying
to
do
is
just
identify
the
appropriate
partner
that
will
help
us
with
a
housing
program
that
we
don't
have
internally
administrative
staff
to
be
able
to
support
and.
D
So
we've
always
supported
that.
I
think
the
difference
and
the
concern
here
is
that
and
it
took
staff
a
year,
but
it
also
had
a
lot
of
touches
and
feedback
from
the
reparations
subcommittee.
At
that
time
we
saw
it.
It
was
a
working
document.
We
it
went
back
and
forth.
All
that
is
in
public
record.
So
all
we're
saying
now
is
that
the
same
courtesy
is
and
responsibility
to
this
committee,
in
fact
is
necessary.
D
We
are
appointed
by
the
mayor
to
oversee
and
give
direction
and
come
to
a
consensus
on
what
we're
going
to
do
in
response
to
what
we're
hearing
from
the
community.
So
the
only
thought
is
that
we
have
an
opportunity
to
review
or
give
feedback
on
a
document
we've
already
established.
We
don't
support
the
reparation
fund
funding.
You
know
the
the
whoever
is
going
to
manage
it.
We
never
determined
that
it
wouldn't
be
a
designated
staff
person.
D
This
sounds
like
it
could
be
the
best
case
scenario,
but
more
about
who
the
organization
is
where
here
in
the
community
doesn't
know
who
the
organization
is.
If
they're
going
to
be
compensated,
you
know
why
is
it
sole
source?
Why
is
it
you
know?
You
know
these
are
questions
that
that
we're
going
to
have
to
leave
here
and
respond
to
these
questions
after
this
meeting
I.
C
But
here's
what
I
would
say
to
you
committee,
member
simmons.
I
take
this
responsibility
very
highly
seriously.
C
I
also
am
not
just
a
staff
person-
I
am
the
number
two
person
in
this
organization,
so
I
am
going
to
ensure
that
anything
that's
coming
out
of
the
city
manager's
office
is
going
to
be
excellent
work,
not
just
good
work,
so
I
will
not
come
to
you
all
with
half
baked
information,
so
you
cannot
deliberate
on
it.
As
I
did
you,
the
courtesy
as
chair,
I
am
doing
the
same
courtesy
with
our
current
chair.
He
is
giving
me
the
direction
and
I'm
following
the
direction
given
to
me.
E
Can
I
just
interject
as
well?
I
I
understand
that
there
are
these
there's
a
balance
between
keeping
people
informed
and
in
the
loop,
but
also
there's
some
point
there.
There
have
been
some
things
that
we've
brought
up
that
we've
had
in
these
discussions
that
you
know
upon
going
back
with
this
stakeholders.
We've
amended
discarded
revised
and
I
think
that
it
needs
to
be
in
a
more
finished
product
to
be
brought
to
this
forum.
Otherwise
I
think
there
might
be
a
lot
of
confusion.
E
I
could
imagine
someone
attending
a
meeting
and
then
you
know
us
moving
on
and
for
some
reason
changing
something
and
then
there's
a
lot
of
confusing
information
that
gets
out
there,
and
I
I
just
want
to
the
timeline.
I
I
of
course
it
would
be
preferable
if
we
had
all
of
this
synced
up,
so
that
this
disbursement
could
just
happen
immediately
and
so
forth,
but
the
care
that
has
to
go
into
it
and
the
work
that
has
gone
into
it.
It
you
know
it's.
E
I
can
say
it's
not
that
people
are
dragging
their
feet
or
you
know,
there's
there's
different
research
and
things
that
have
come
back
about
what's
worked
and
what
hasn't
and
a
lot
of
moving
parts
to
bring
together,
and
so
it
it
really
is
just
premature
to
bring
you
know,
but
you
know
I
I
you
know.
I
also
share
your
desire
to
keep
the
community
informed,
but
it's
just
it's
such
a
changing
animal.
At
this
time.
E
A
A
So
I
don't
want
anyone
to
leave
here
with
a
thought
or
suspicion
that
all
of
a
sudden
we're
getting
closer
to
this,
that
we're
doing
something
outside
of
order
or
procedure,
and
I
want
to
be
crystal
clear
with
that,
and
so
I'm
so
I'm
looking
forward
to
kimberly,
hopefully
in
the
next
we'll
we'll
finalize
this,
and
then
we
will
bring
it
forward
for
everyone
to
look
at
and
then
we
start
the
whole
process
over
with
a
document.
That's
hopefully
well
awarded.
C
So
how
do
you
so
what's
the
what's
the
next
steps
that
we
need
to
be
preparing
ourselves
for,
should
I
be
focusing
on
getting
this
draft
completed,
ready
for
a
discussion
at
our
next
committee
meeting,
or
are
we
going
to
have
some
meeting
in
between
to
select
individuals?
Are
we
going
to
do
that
all
at
the
next
meeting.
C
I
And
I
think,
having
some
other
options
I
mean
cipa
is
a
I
like
cipa.
I
work,
you
know
we're
working
with
them,
often
in
the
community,
but
I
think
we
can't-
and
I
don't
think
anybody
is
at
fault
here.
It's
just
somewhat
new
information.
New
organization
has
been
selected,
you
know,
nonprofits
are
non-profits,
but
they
employ
people
right
and,
and
they
also
can
use
programs
to
get
other
funds
right.
I
So
at
cepa
being
the
premier,
this,
the
disperser
of
reparations
funds,
strengthens
their
organization,
so
they
can
go
out
and
and
seek
other
funding
and
grants
and
and
their
organization
grows
and
they
employ
people
and
they
determine
who
they
employ.
This
is
the
reality
of
how
this
works,
and
so
I
think
also
the
concern
is:
are
there
other
organizations,
potentially
black,
led
organizations
or
organizations
that
have
a
commitment
to
diverse
hiring?
Maybe
that's
cipa,
but
I
I
just
want
to
be
clear
here
that
the
concern
is
not
the
process.
The
process
makes
total
sense.
I
We
need
somebody
to
do
the
disbursement,
I
think
is.
Are
we
have
we
determined
yes
to
sipa?
Have
we
looked
outside
of
sipa
at
other
options?
Both
here
locally,
but
also
regionally,
I
think
those
are
some
of
the
questions
that
I'll
get
at
the
next.
You
know
fifth
floor
meeting,
so
I
don't
think
anybody's
at
fault
here.
It
makes
total
sense.
The
decision
that
was
made
have
we
decided
on
seat
bar.
There
are
some
other
options
that
we
can
explore.
A
And
I
don't
mind
responding
to
that.
First
of
all,
there
was
no
decision
made,
and
I
want
to
be
clear
about
that.
There
was
no
decision
made
right
and
to
correct
your
language.
We
wouldn't
be
able
to
go
out
for
an
rfq
if
we
don't
have
all
the
information
in
terms
of
what's
important
and
so
rather
than
dwell
on
sipa
or
any
other
organization.
A
A
I
have
to
have
an
answer
sure,
so
the
the
answer
is
we're
working
on
criteria.
We
haven't
made
a
decision,
so
the
criteria
of
the
project
management
to
make
sure
that
those
that
are
awarded
are
provided
you're.
I
don't
want
to
make
it
I'm
sorry,
because
if
I
can,
can
I
finish
my
statement,
I
think
it's
important
that
I'll
finish
it
because
we're
having
a
hypothetical
discussion
over
something
that
we
haven't
even
seen.
A
I
I
Take
that
off
the
I
said,
request
for
qualification
makes
sense
right.
You
go
out
in
the
community,
we
want
zebra
anybody
else
that
thinks
they
can
that
they
can
handle
a
process
of
dispersing
this.
To
give
us,
it's
called
a
request
for
qualification,
that's
something
that
can
go
out
to
not
just
sepa
but
any
organization
and
they
can
submit
their
qualifications,
and
then
we
will
make
a
decision
based
on
that.
I
understand
the
process,
but
that's
different
than
drafting
a
mou
with
cipa.
So
that's
different
respectfully.
I
C
And
I
take
ownership
of
the
I
take
ownership
of
the
mou
because
it
was
an
administrative
decision,
on
my
end,
to
find
someone
to
disperse
the
funds
who
who
had
relationship
with
banks,
and
it
was
only
based
on
who
I
can
get
to
who
I
knew
the
city
already
had
an
existing
relationship
with
that.
All
I
had
to
do
was
just
attack
on
this
and
they
were
not
asking
for
funds
or
asking
for
any
any
any
type
of
embarrassment
for
their
services.
C
Once
we
started
having
once
I
informed
the
chair
about
this,
he
and
I
had
a
separate
conversation
and
then
questions
start
popping
up
that
made
me
realize
we
needed
to
slow
this
down
and
then
that's
when
this
conversation
became
broader.
So
I
will
take
ownership
of
the
mlu
conversation
because
I
literally
just
saw
it
as
a
transactional
partnership
that
they
were
not
charging
the
city
for
and
no
one
would
have
a
clue,
because
it's
behind
the
scenes,
it
literally
was
just
cut
the
check
for
us,
but
that
ended
up
not
being
the
case.
C
I
And
just
so,
the
communities
are
where
we
do
the
direct
negotiations
right.
So
I've
talked
to
luke,
dave,
stoneback
and
other
people
who
run
these
type
of
processes.
If
we
think
an
organization
is
that
good
and
they
just
meet
all
the
qualifications,
we
don't
have
to
go
out
for
an
rfqr
fee.
Any
of
that
we
can
do
a
direct
negotiation.
So
all
of
this
is
in
bounds.
I'm
not
saying
it
is.
I'm
just
thinking
it's
important
for
us
to
know
as
a
committee
how
we're
moving
forward
and.
H
What
we're
going
to
discuss
you
know
at
the
next
meeting,
and
I
just
before
we
adjourn
this
meeting.
I
just
want
to
address
mr
sutton's
concerns
about
the
community
and
I
think,
as
a
committee,
we
do
need
to
be
aware
of
that
people,
thinking
that
maybe
we
don't
have
a
plan
and
that
we're
not
going
forward
in
our
last
meeting.
We
talked
about
how
important
it
was
to
do
this
right.
H
H
You
know
our
neighbors,
the
evanston
people
of
african
american
descent,
to
be
patient,
to
know
that
we
are
working
hard
to
make
this
right,
because
haste
makes
waste.
