Description
No description was provided for this meeting.
If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
B
For
the
folks
who've
logged
on,
I
just
want
to
thank
you
all
for
your
your
patience
as
you
all
are
aware,
and
I'll
make
the
same
announcements
once
we
open
the
meeting
due
to
the
rise
in
covid,
we've
had
a
number
of
staff
that
are
our
home
in
quarantine
over
the
holiday
weekend,
our
city
manager
issue
to
stay
at
home,
so,
with
the
exception
of
kimberly
a
lot
of
our
staff
is
there?
B
Hence
the
reason
we
are
not
meeting
in
person
and
meeting
virtually.
So
I
thank
you
all
for
your
patience
as
we
are
bringing
everybody
on
to
the
meeting.
We
are
in,
what's
called
a
webinar
mode,
so
that
means
that
the
participants
who
are
watching
are
viewing
this,
as
so
like
watching
tv.
So
there
won't
be
any
interaction.
D
Can
I
just
say
kimberly,
I'm
sorry
to
that
end.
You
know
you
guys
mostly
know
that
I
am
a
registered
nurse
and
the
omnicrom
has
affected
my
job
also,
so
I
am
gonna
have
to
leave.
You
know
right
at
10
a.m.
E
C
She's,
not
so
king,
we
we
can
get
started
and
she
does
come
on.
We
will
acknowledge
that
we
do
wanna,
go
ahead
and
call
the
meeting.
I
guess.
Okay.
B
All
right
good
morning,
everyone
and
welcome
to
our
thursday
january
6
reparations
committee
meeting.
I
want
to
wish
you
all
a
very
happy
new
year
and
thank
you
very
much
for
your
patience
as
we
are
getting.
This
meeting
started
for
those
that
are
listening
due
to
the
spike
in
our
coveted
numbers,
and
we
have
so
many
members
from
our
city
staff
that
are
home
quarantining.
B
We
had
to
our
meeting
to
a
virtual
setting
in
order
to
conduct
business.
So
with
that
said,
I'd
like
to
call
this
meeting
to,
or
our
committee
meeting
to
order,
we
will
bypass
our
public
comment
just
based
on
the
the
format
that
we're
in
and
then
we're
going
to
move
directly
to
approval
of
the
minutes.
C
So
we
have
to
do
public
comment.
I
would
refer
to
it
at
the
end.
We
do
have
the
ability
for
people
to
make
a
public
comment
vocally,
but
if
you
want
to
hold
that
to
the
end
of
the
meeting,
that's
fine
so
that
we
can
get
to
the
business
so
remember,
lockhart
can
depart.
B
You
for
that
update.
We
will
then
go
ahead
and
move
our
public
comments
to
the
end
of
the
meeting
just
to
accommodate
some
schedules
and
that
will
allow
us
to
conduct
our
business
with.
That
being
said,
is
there
a
approval
for
the
december
2nd
2021
minutes.
D
I
move
to
approve
the
december
second
21
minutes.
Second,.
B
E
Apologies:
birth
weight
on
the
virtual
setting.
We
do
have
to
do
roll
call
just
as.
B
A
matter
of
family,
can
I
ask
for
your
indulgence,
we're
we're
working
on
a
time
frame
and
we're
in
a
committee
setting
we're
just
approving
the
minutes.
I
appreciate
the
fact
you
know
in
terms
of
what
you
bring,
but.
B
B
I
first
want
to
say
thank
you
so
much
for
all
your
effort
to
bringing
this
bring
us
to
this
space.
I
want
to
make
sure
that
everyone
on
the
commit
on
the
call
right
now
has
had
an
opportunity
to
read
through
it
and
has
the
information
in
front
of
them
as
we
go
through
it
kimberly.
Do
you
want
to
go
ahead
and
kick
it
off
and
then
I'll
ask
rob
and
his
team
to
walk
us
through
the
the
main
components
after
you're
finished
speaking.
Thank
you.
C
Sure
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
that
councilmember
burns
has
joined
the
committee
as
a
member.
I
want
to
first
start
out
by
saying
that
this
process
of
the
document
that
you
see
in
front
of
you
started
back
in
july
as
we
were
finalizing
the
guidelines
and
began
the
process
of
creating
the
application
for
submittal.
The
the
staff
myself
and
other
staff
of
inner
city
organizations
started
thinking
about
what
next
steps
do.
C
We
need
to
begin
to
think
through
for
the
implementation,
as,
as
you
all
know,
and
are
aware,
this
is
just
not
the
ability
to
cut
a
check
because
of
how
we've
worded
the
the
process
and
the
guidelines
we
actually
are
submitting
document
payment
to
either
the
financial
institution
or
the
identifier
contractor
slash
vendors
that
the
resident
beneficiary
would
identify.
C
So
from
that,
it
was
recommended
that
we
start
with
first
cpa,
which
is
who
we
decided
to
as
staff
to
continue
the
process
and
implementation
with
cipa,
as
we
all
know,
has
worked
with
the
city
on
a
number
of
projects
within
our
housing
efforts.
And
has
you
know,
within
our
organization
at
least
we
can
say
administratively
have
been
a
great
working
partner
with
staff,
and
we
not
have
any.
C
Listen
to
what
we
were
trying
to
accomplish,
go
over
the
guidelines
and
they
then
came
back
with
a
proposal,
and
within
that
proposal
they
actually
said
we
would
do
this
project
for
the
majority
of
the
project
for
in-kind
costs
to
the
city,
so
the
services
that
they
had
are
presenting
in
this
country.
Within
this
procedure,
the
majority
of
it
is
for
at
no
cost
to
the
city
to
implement,
and
we
can
talk
about
the
one
that
does
have
a
cost
of
how
it's
going
to
be
addressed.
C
But
for
the
most
part,
we
were
very
surprised
and
pleased
that
that
was
something
that
cepa
had
offered
and
began
the
process
of
developing
what
we
would
call
the
program
procedures,
and
this
really
is
detailing
what
exactly
our
recipients
are
going
to
have
to
make
a
decision
on
how
they
make
that
decision
and
the
support
that
both
city
staff
and
cipa
will
provide
them,
as
we
begin
to
distribute
funds
to
support
their
housing
need.
C
So
what
I
would
like
to
do
is
quickly
just
go
over
the
program
as
it
listed
out
in
the
procedures
and
then
I
will
hand
it
over
to
see
if
it's
kind
of
walk
you
through
the
home
improvement
part
and
that's
where
really
the
support
of
both
councilmember
braithwaite
and
beau,
claire
and
bonnie,
as
well
as
audrey
thompson,
has
been
very
helpful.
As
these
first
individuals
who
are
going
to
be
receiving
our
ancestor
category.
C
These
individuals
have
to
be
at
least
70
years
or
older
to
qualify
for
ancestors.
So
we
recognized
it
was
important
that
we
are
also
being
mindful
of
the
population
and
did
not
want
to
make
any
assumptions,
and
so
we
brought
in
audrey
thompson
as
the
community
services
individual
manager
who
also
oversees
senior
services.
C
Finally,
as
well,
excuse
me
not
by
anybody
claire
as
her
expertise
and
then,
of
course,
the
chair
of
the
committee
councilman
braithwaite,
so
we
met
with
both
rob
and
carrie
who
are
on
call
today
and
to
just
go
through
these
procedures
and
kind
of
tighten
it
up,
see
where
there
are
holes,
missing
concerns
and
then
be
able
to
present
this
to
the
committee
prior
to
us,
making
a
selection
of
the
first
16
individuals.
C
So,
as
you
know,
there
are
three
categories
for
which
individuals
are
able
to
apply
for
being
home
benefit
home,
purchase,
benefit,
homework,
assistance
and
home
improvement
benefit
home
of
purchase
is
very
simple.
It's
really
a
once.
You
have
signed
that
contract.
You
have
the
funding
ready
to
get
ready
to
move
forward
with
purchase.
It's
a
matter
of
the
funding
going
directly
to
the
financial
institution
through
the
title
company,
and
that
is
a
very
clean,
very
easy
process
to
administer
the
home
improvement
benefit.
C
Actually
in
having
a
conversation
with
cifa,
it's
two
different
processes
that
one
can
access:
they
can
do
a
prepayment
of
monthly
mortgage
payment
or
they
can
do
a
lump
sum
principal
payment
and
in
our
document
we
detail
what
those
are
and
how
that
process
will.
Look
like
it's
important
to
know
that,
because
people
assume
that,
because
you're
paying
down
your
statement
that
you
are
just
you
know,
you
can
pay
your
statement
down,
but
your
principal
is
still
going
to
be
the
same
and
so
to
do.
C
This
is
giving
the
member
a
community
member
the
opportunity
to
select
how
they
want
to
see
that
mortgage
payment
be
administered
and
provide
them
with
the
best
options
for
them,
so
they
can
have
the
biggest
benefit
from
that
and
then
finally,
the
home
improvement,
which
is
where
we
spent
the
majority
of
the
conversation
on.
As
you
know,
this
is
a
reparations
program,
and
so
we
don't
want
this
to
feel
as
if
the
city
is
dictating
how
you
are
to
move
forward
with
your
housing
improvement.
C
But
we
also
want
to
give
individuals
some
safeguards
as
to
making
sure
that
you
know
they
themselves
are
being
protected
in
this,
as
we
recognize
that
25
000
is
not
a
lot
of
money,
but
is
a
lot
of
money,
and
so
I
will
hand
it
over
to
sifa
to
kind
of
walk
us
through
that
portion
of
it,
because
I
believe
this
is
where
we've
taken
the
most
time,
the
most
eyeballs
to
and
really
want
to
flesh
out
that
process,
so
that
we
can
ensure
the
residents
of
evanston
very
clear
on
what
their
options
are
as
they
select
either
the
home
improvement
for
home,
managed
or
super
managed
construction.
H
Thank
you
kimberly.
We
appreciate
all
of
your
hard
work
on
this
and
I
personally
am
encouraged
by
your
passion,
your
passion,
to
administer
a
program
that
is
not
only
successful
but
will
meet
the
needs
of
both
this
committee
here,
but
also
the
needs
of
the
community.
H
One
of
the
things
I
want
to
emphasize
at
the
start
is
that
at
cepa
we
not
only
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
meeting
housing
needs.
H
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
looking
at
the
full
scope
of
what
would
be
in
the
best
interest
of
any
of
our
clients,
and
in
reviewing
this
program
we
talked
about
how
homeowners
may
have
a
preference
or
desire,
or
relatives
or
whomever
that
they
would
choose
to
provide
to
utilize
the
funds
without
intervention
by
seeker
or
anyone
else
for
that
matter.
In
discussing
those
options,
we
came
up
with
two
both
options.
H
Looking
at
the
interests
of
the
seniors
wanting
to
make
sure
very
strongly
desiring
to
make
sure
that
seniors
are
well
cared
for
in
this
process,
that
they're
not
taking
advantage
of
that
we're
transparent
and
what
we
are
able
to
do
and
what
we're
not
able
to
do,
but
also
to
make
it
clear
that
you
know
cipa
is
an
advocate.
H
But
we
are
not.
You
know
responsible
for
the
specific
home
items,
we're
responsible
for
administering
the
program.
Yes,
but
we're
basically
an
intermediary
an
advocate.
H
So
with
the
homeowner
option,
a
the
homeowner
deciding
that
they
want
to
manage
their
own
construction,
we
felt
that
it's
important
to
make
sure
that
we
point
out
steps
to
make
sure
that
the
seniors
are
not
taken
advantage
of.
For
example,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
proposals
are
reviewed
for
reasonableness
of
costs.
H
We
want
to
make
sure
that
the
contractors
are
vetted,
that
they
are
providing
proposals
that
not
just
will
come
within
cost,
but
the
quality
as
well
so
sipa
is
recommending
that
we,
even
with
the
homeowners,
managed
construction
that
we
would
remind
the
homeowner
to
get
their
proposals
that
we
would
review
the
cost.
H
Reasonableness
and
then
we
would
administer
the
payment
to
the
contractor
based
on
completion
and
making
sure
that
the
homeowner,
as
well
as
the
contractor,
are
in
agreement
not
just
with
what
was
actually
completed,
but
the
quality
of
completion
as
well.
The
homeowner
can
request
up
to
three
payments
to
the
contractor:
an
initial
payment
to
get
started,
a
interim
payment
as
well
as
a
final
payment,
and
the
percentages
are
outlined
here
as
and
and
one
of
the
reasons
we
do.
That
is
because
we
want
to
make
sure
there
are
no
surprises
at
the
end.
H
We've
outlined
the
specific
steps
of
the
documents
that
we
need
to
be
able
to
make
the
payment.
Some
of
these
steps
are
just
you
know,
good
business
sense.
Some
are
making
sure
that
we
file
irs
rules,
for
example,
requesting
w9s
and
then
some
are
for
convenience.
For
example,
we
prefer
that
contractors
are
paid
via
ach
a
because
they
can
get
the
funds
sooner
and
b
because,
like
you,
many
times
we're
working
remotely
and
it's
just
more
efficient
to
process
payments
electronically
than
it
is
to
print
checks
and
send
them
out,
etc.
H
We
once
the
all
the
documents
are
received.
We
can
commit
to
payment
within
10
business
days.
That's
our
standard
current
process
for
making
payments
and
to
request
the
final
payment
we
need
to
make
sure.
H
Are
we
suggesting
that
when
cipa
manages
the
project
that
we
we
hold
back
10
percent
and
that's
just
to
make
sure
that
there's
a
guarantee
that
the
work
performed
is
of
quality
and
completed,
and
then
they
would
then
be
paid
that
at
the
end,
when
cepa
manages
the
and
and
that's
for
both
project
processes,
when
cipa
manages
construction,
we
have
our
current
or
owner
occupied
repair
rehab
program,
which
is
basically
what
we
are
currently
doing,
that
we
extracted
to
utilize
in
this
program
as
well.
H
Most
of
these
are
for
the
protection
again
of
the
homeowner,
and
we
inspect
cipa
inspects,
as
well
as
the
contractor
after
home
inspections
and
completed.
We
review
the
work
right
up.
We
make
sure
that
everything
that
the
homeowner
agreed
to
be
done
is
being
done
when
we're
doing
the
right
work
right
up
initially.
Also,
we
may
make
some
recommendations
in
terms
of
what
we
think
should
be
done,
based
on
our
experience.
H
For
example,
there
may
be
some
testing
that
needs
to
be
done
for
lead,
lead-based
paint
or
radon,
and
things
like
that.
Those
are
the
things
that
we
normally
do
in
the
course
of
slope
of
these
again.
This
is
for
the
protection
of
the
homeowner,
because
the
homeowner
may
or
may
not
be
aware
of
those
items.
H
When
cipa
is
managing
the
program,
we
we
have
a
bid
process
that
we
use
and
that
that
allows
us
to
screen
as
well
as
assess
costs
from
the
contractors,
and
then
we
have
a
process
where
we
make
sure
that
that
process
in
selecting
the
contractors
is
anonymous
in
terms
of
not
looking
at
the
details.
Looking
at
looking
at
the
the
names
of
the
organizations,
but
looking
at
the
details
only
does
anybody
have.
I
D
I
have
a
question
hi
good
morning,
my
question
when
you
just
said
that
you
all
have
a
process
of
sending
out
a
bid.
If
someone
has
selected,
I
mean.
Is
that
something
that
you
have
to
do
in
every
situation,
because
if
someone
has
selected
a
someone
they
would
like
to
provide
the
services
they
wouldn't
need.
That.
E
Yes,
I
I
have
questions
hi,
I'm
miss
williams.
My
name
is
davonnery
councilmember
from
the
eighth
ward.
I
I'm
curious,
so
I
to
a
similar
line
of
questioning
is
miss
lockhart.
I
am
curious.
E
So
all
of
there
are
a
number
of
suggestions
that
you
all
said
you
would
make
as
far
as
the
contractor
and
an
inspection.
So
if
the,
if
the
resident,
for
example,
doesn't
want
to
take
cipa's
advice
on
anything
as
far
as
let's
say,
cpa
determines
that,
maybe
they
should
update
their
paint
because
there
may
be
lead
paint
or
maybe
you
know
cepa
determines
whatever
is
the?
Is
the
resident
able
to
refuse
any
of
cipa's
recommendations.
I
It
would
operate
more
closely
to
that
program,
but
that
program
is
funded
through
state
and
federal
dollars.
That
has
specific
requirements.
So
we
have
to
address
lead-based
paint.
We
have
to
address
radon.
We
have
to
address
mold
any
kind
of
life,
safety
or
health
issue
we
have
to
address
and
so
that
the
way
this
is
structured
is
that
we're
trying
to
educate
the
homeowner
as
much
as
possible,
but
not
put
up
any
requirements
or
barriers.
I
So
if,
if
we
went
through
option
b,
those
things
and
those
recommendations
would
be
in
the
work,
write-up
and
recommended
to
the
owner,
but
it
would
be
up
to
the
owner
to
decide
exactly
what
work
they
do
and
don't
want
to
have
done.
I
think
we
also
had
in
here
in
their
procedures
that
they
would
sign
off
on
a
certification
stating
that
you
know
sipa
acknowledged
or
they
identified
lead-based
paint
or
whatever,
but
we
are
deciding
not
to
do
that.
E
Yeah
yeah
so
is:
is
there
an
inspection
required
by
cipa
for
a
and
b.
I
Managed
they
can
do
whatever
they
they
would
like.
We,
we
will
look
at
the
the
proposal
that
they
received
and
just
have
a
very
cursory
review,
make
sure
it
looks
reasonable
to
us
if
we
would
offer
any
advice
or
thoughts
to
the
homeowner,
but
ultimately
it's
up
to
them
to
do
whatever
they
would
like
to
do.
E
Okay
and
then,
lastly,
is
it
normal,
for
you
know
if
you're
having
work
done
in
your
house
by
a
contractor
for
that
contractor
to
turn
over
their
w-9
form.
D
E
I'm
sorry
is
that,
but
is
that,
if
I'm
you
know
just
private
homeowner
and
I
hire
a
contractor
to
come
in,
is
it
standard
process
for
that
for
a
contractor
to
turn
over
their
w9
to
me.
C
E
K
J
B
Then
devon,
just
our
council
member
reed,
we're
on
a
strict
time
limit
we're
trying
to
move
through
this
on
10
just
based
on
some
committee
members
schedule.
B
I
have
a
number
of
members
around
the
room
and
I
realize
that
you
haven't
been
present
for
a
majority
of
the
meetings,
but
we've
been
running
our
meetings
with
high
efficiencies.
So
can
you
continue
to
put
your
questions
in
the
chat
room
and,
as
you
come
up
with
your
questions,
I'm
sure
I
can
have
the
cepa
staff
respond
to
them.
I
appreciate
your
cooperation.
B
F
Thank
you,
mr
sutton.
I
was
going
to
ask
that
you
go
first,
even
though
I
had
my
hand
up
first,
but
I
was
really
going
to
try
to
wait
for
you
know,
you've
put
so
much
thought
into
this
proposal
and
I
have
questions
that
are
more
so
for
staff,
and
so
I
know
that
we're
trying
to
consolidate
and
condense
this
meeting.
But
my
questions
are
more
on.
Are
we
being
informed,
or
is
this
a
discussion?
F
How
did
we
come
to
cipa
and
not
consider
others
there's
an
opportunity
to
model
everything
that
we
do
and
that
will
be
including
organizations
that
are
historically
black
and
have
a
history
of
serving
black
communities?
I
understand
cepa
probably
does
in
the
affordable
housing
space,
but
I'm
I
have
more
questions
about.
How
did
we
land
on
this
and
then,
if
all
of
the
benefits
or
services
are
optional?
Why
is
the
mou
needed
we're
not
having
an
exclusive
agreement
with
a
mortgage
lender
or
an
appraiser
or
anyone
else?
F
Why
exclusivity
for
this
oversight
and
then
it
seems
to
be
unreasonable
redundancy
in
terms
of
inspections
from
cipa,
when
we
already
have
a
property
standard
department
we
have
permits
and
the
homeowners
that
are
doing,
improvements
will
have
to
go
through
a
process
of
inspection
already
with
the
city
of
evanston.
So
my
question
is:
I
really
appreciate
how
thorough
this
program
is
is
why
is
a
exclusive
relationship
needed
if
it
is
an
opt-in
service
for
these
types
of
programs
that
cepa's
already
administered
and
if
we
are
going
to
have
an
exclusive
agreement?
F
How
did
we
land
on
one
without
considering
others
and
in
terms
of
the
escrow
piece
with
the
funds
being
sent
to
cepa
is?
Is
that
are
we
going
to
discuss
that
because
it
looks
like
you
know?
It
says
here:
the
city
has
partnered
with
cepa
and
has
that
happened
already?
Has
there
already
been
an
mou
signed
and
then
I
also
have
questions
about
the
majority
of
costs
covered?
What
are
those
costs
that
aren't
covered
and
because
it's
not
in
the
packet,
unless
I
missed
it
somewhere
and
then
the
bid
process?
F
I
think
ms
lockhart
had
the
same
questions
on
requirements
for
bid
process
and
many
of
the
recipients
hopeful
to
receive
funding,
have
relationships
with
contractors
in
town
already
and
our
hope
is
in
having
that
wealth
day
and
having
cooperative
economics
and
circulating
the
black
dollar
within
the
community.
We've
already
been
intentional
about
identifying
black
community
contractors
bobby
has
worked
on
that
already
to
convene
a
group.
F
Mr
mr
bennett,
johnson
has
worked
with
a
group
of
black
contractors
for
a
long
time,
so
my
questions
are
really
less
for
cepa
and
I
think
more
for
our
lead,
our
staff
on.
How
did
we
land
here
and
is
this
a
decision
that's
been
made.
B
With
I'm
sorry,
I'm
sorry,
I
heard
her
questions
and
statements
and
we're
almost
at
like
10
o'clock.
So
that's
a
lot
to
unpack,
and
so
I
want
to
see
if
mr
sutton,
where
we
are
in
this,
is
just
talking
about
the
first
half
we
still
haven't
gone
through
the
whole
all
of
the
information,
so
I
just
want
to
see
what
carlos
has
to
say.
I
know
that
councilmember
reed
has
additional
questions,
and
so
I
want
to
try
to
be
as
efficient
as
possible
with
our
time.
Mr.
B
K
Thank
you.
I
just
want
to
reinforce
the
concerns
of
both
bonnie
and
robin,
and
I
thank
them
for
being
on
target
just
two
additional
concerns,
one
as
robin
mentioned.
I
hope
that
cpa
has
a
list
of
qualified
minority
contractors
having
the
work
done
on
my
homes
in
evanston
over
a
period
of
70
years,
I'm
pretty
much
qualified
to
determine
who
is
qualified
to
do
the
work
and
to
keep
this
money
circulating
in
as
many
hands
in
the
black
community
as
can
be
possible.
J
I'm
sorry
guys,
I'm
you
can
hear
my
voice,
I'm
not
well,
but
I
I
I
have
been
listening.
I
wasn't
able
to
come
on
on
the
panelist
mode,
but
I've
been
on
the
meeting.
K
B
D
H
Sure
I
was,
I
was
pretty
much
complete
condoned
with
the
overview
I
I
wanted.
I
invited
questions
to
make
sure
that
if,
if
there
was
something
in
the
document,
someone
did
not
understand
that
we
could
take
that
opportunity
to
clarify,
but
basically
we
we
looked
at
this
from
the
perspective
that
whether
cipa
is
doing
this
or
whether
another
organization
is
doing
this.
H
This
is
what
we
felt
would
be
in
the
best
interest
of
our
seniors,
to
make
sure
that
they
are
afforded
the
education,
the
knowledge
and
the
details
necessary
to
make
informed
decisions
in
terms
of
the
presentation
it.
It
clearly
is
an
option,
a
the
homeowner
deciding
that
they
want
to
manage
their
own
construction
process,
make
their
own
selection
of
contractors,
and
in
that
case
of
option
a
people
would
simply
provide
services
in
terms
of
making
the
payment
to
the
contractor
once
the
specific
criteria
is
met.
H
Obviously,
option
b
is
where
a
individual
may
feel
that
they
need
assistance
with
managing
that
construction
process
and
then
that's
where
sipa
would
come
in
with
the
the
the
information
and
detail
outlined
here
to
manage
the
process
to
provide
information
to
give
options,
as
rob
said,
not
necessarily
requiring
each
of
these
steps
but
again
engaging
in
the
process
to
make
sure
that
they're
educated
on
what
is
necessary
and
what's
available
and
then
in
that
option
b
as
well
sipa
managing
the
payments
to
make
sure
that
the
the
work
right
up
is
agreed
to
and
and
and
followed
through.
H
And-
and
you
know,
the
the
last
thing
I'll
close
with
is,
as
we
have
the
relationship
with
evanston.
We
have
that
relationship
with
other
communities
as
well,
and
we
are
well
respected
in
the
community,
and
we
also
have
recently
received
certification
from
ida
as
being
a
bypoc
organization.
B
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very,
very
much.
I'm
gonna
turn
it
over
to
kim
now
just
to
respond
to
the
operational
questions
as
it
relates
to
staff,
and
then
we
will
continue
to
go
down
the
list
kimberly.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
for
your
pace,
hello,.
C
Beth,
so
I
can
we'll
go
ahead
and
mute
so
to
go
to
you
back
to
your
question
first,
I
want
to
say
that,
with
the
home
ownership,
we
decided
to
get
two
options
from
feedback
from
the
community.
Everything
that
you're,
seeing
that's
put
in
front
of
you,
is
being
community
informed
and
wanted
to
be
responsive.
C
What
we
understood
is
that
it's
also
great
to
have
individuals
who
are
capable
of
managing
construction
projects.
We
also
know
there's
people
who
are
more
like
I
want
to
do
it,
but
I
don't
know
how
to
do
it
and
they
needed
that
extra
hand
holding
that
we
wanted
to
make
sure
was
available
to
them.
So
we
wanted
to
be
clear
of
what
the
expectation
would
look
like
if
they
requested
that
assistance.
It
is
option
a
and
option
b.
It
is
not
option
b.
C
You
know
given
an
opportunity
to
create
you
know
to
do
a
project
in
their
home
and
be
cost
over,
because
they
not
do
a
cost
analysis
that
actually
equates
to
the
fact
that
everything
is
costing
more
right
now.
So
we
have
things
that
are
where
it
used
to
be
three
dollars
for
a
lumber
is
costing
eleven
dollars
and
so
having
that
person
with
some
expertise.
Behind
that
to
give
you
some
guidance
may
be
of
help.
C
So
when
you're
looking
at
contractors,
regardless
of
who
you
select,
you
are
informed
on
what
cost
you
should
be
looking
for
and
that's
something
we
just
don't
have
internally
and
I
want
to
go
back
to
staff
are
not
housing
experts.
We
have
staff
who
have
experience
in
housing
granting,
but
we
do
not
have
the
same
type
of
experience.
C
Cpa
has
when
it
comes
to
how
to
transfer
money
to
a
bank
when
it's
time
to
do
a
title,
closing
how
to
have
have
relationships
with
institutions
so
that
you
can
make
sure
that
your
mortgage
payments
are
getting
into
the
bank
correctly
appropriately
and
they
have
those
relationships.
Staff
does
not,
and
so
we
have
to
be.
C
We
have
to
be
very
mindful,
there's
only
so
much
capacity
we
have
in
our
organization,
and
we
need
to
look
at
trusted
community
partners
and
again
I
you
know,
I
will
say
that
that
we
move
forward
with
cepa,
because
we
had
a
relationship
with
sifa.
We
didn't
have
to
worry
about
if
they're
going
to
come
in
and
and.
C
If
we're
going
to
do
this
right,
we're
going
to
do
it
right,
regardless
of
the
skin
color
of
the
owner
of
a
business,
and
we
want
the
right
person
in
the
right
organization
who
is
going
to
care
for
our
our
senior
population.
Our
black
community
and
cipa
has
shown
that
tremendously
they
have
said,
if
you
don't
use
us,
that's
fine,
but
this
is
the
standard
that
we
want
you
to
use,
because
this
is
important
for
you
all
to
ensure
the
the
implementation
goes
as
smoothly
smoothly
as
you
can.
C
The
mou
is
there,
because
with
any
organization
regardless,
if
they
are
organization
that
we
have
informally
or
formally,
it
is
best
practice
to
have
an
mou,
because
it's
clearly
defined
what
my
expectations
is
as
a
city
and
what
their
expectation
is
as
an
organization
and
we've
mutually
agreed
on
it.
We
are
not
asking
for
any
funds,
so
that
is
why
it's
not
one
that
requires
council
action
and
that's
why
we
wanted
to
bring
it
to
this
committee
so
that
we
can
be
very
clear
and
transparent.
C
It
did
not
have
to
come
from
committee
for
action.
We
chose
to
do
that
because
we
wanted
the
case
partner
of
this
and
feel
like
they
too
have
given
their.
You
know
somewhat
of
a
blessing
of
the
process
moving
forward,
but
I
would
like
to
get
this
implemented
and
I
can
tell
you
we
started
this
in
july.
It
is
now
january,
so
we.
C
Through
a
process
of
hiring
someone
of
going
through
a
bid
process,
selecting
and
embedding
another
organization
that
we
don't
have
that
relationship
as
an
organization
with
this
program
won't
get
implemented
until
at
least
late
spring
early
early
summer,
and
so
I
I
just
want
to
be
cautious
that
you
know
we
as
staff-
and
I
will
say
me
as
the
staff
that's
been
leading.
This
work
have
been
thinking
through
to
every
single
nugget
of
process.
C
Since
the
day
we
started,
and
even
with
the
implementation
of
the
guidelines,
it
took
us
months
to
get
to
that
document
to
be
finalized,
and
so
it's
something
that
we
are
now
if
this
is,
the
committee
gives
his
blessing
with
whatever
minor
changes
that
you
might
ask
to
make.
You
know
the
next
step
is
implementation
and
who's
going
to
be
a
part
of
that
implementation
moving
forward.
So
I
just
want
us
to
not.
You
know,
dwell
on
why
staff
you
know
staff.
Did
it,
because
staff
wants
the
community
to
not
be
put
in
a
situation.
C
We
didn't
have
someone
that
he
can
go
to
that.
We
know
they
can
trust
and
that's
important,
and
I
think
that
trump's
any
organization-
I
don't
know
those
organizations
that
you
speak
of
our
staff,
didn't
could
think
of
any
organizations
you
that
you
could
speak
of.
So
I
did
not
want
to
bring
an
organization
that
we
didn't
have
an
already
existing
relationship
on
something
that's
important
in
monumental
for
our
city.
So
if
that's
not
the
direction
the
community
wants
to
go
on.
M
C
B
Kimberly.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
for
your
comments.
I'm
just
looking
around.
We
have
robin
yeah.
F
So
it
so
what
I'm
hearing
is
that
either
at
cepa
or
we
don't
move
forward
on
track
and
right
now
we're
talking
about
an
initial
selection
of
the
first
16
and
I'm
hearing
concerns
about
capacity
or
managing
16
transactions
over
a
calendar
year
and
I'm
hearing
that
we
don't
have
any
best
practices
for
supporting
residents
in
in
rehab
and
residential
loans.
We
have
the
rehab
loan
program
that
is
run
with
sarah
flax
and
whomever
else
in
staff.
So
so
there
are
some
best
practices.
F
But
aside
from
that,
I'm
hearing
that
we
don't
have
the
capacity
and
either
we
move
forward
with
cipa
or
we
have
a
who
knows
when
we
implement
the
program
and
so
back
to
the
residents
that
we're
hearing
from
I
appreciate
some
may
have
said
they
would
appreciate
the
help.
But
more
of
what
I'm
hearing
are
residents
that
are
seniors
that
are
hopeful
to
be
among
the
first
selected
that
have
already
identified
what
work
they
plan
to
do
and
what
contractor
black
contractor
in
town
they
would
like
to
use.
So
I'm
still
back
to.
F
F
From
the
day
I
made
the
introduction
showed
up
in
town
they're,
the
nation's
longest
and
oldest
real
estate
trade
association
that
supports
black
community.
They
are
black,
led
they
produce
the
the
wealth
day.
There's
community
partners
for
affordable
housing.
There
are
other
organizations
local
in
town.
So
just
understanding
why
I'm
hearing
you
say:
that's
who
you
have
the
relationship
with,
but
we
have
to
model
everything
that
we
do
and
if
we
have
an
opportunity
to
keep
reparations
fund
directed
by
the
black
community
as
we
had
those
info
sessions
in
2019
that
informed
housing.
F
That's
how
we
got
here
if
we
have
an
opportunity
to
give
redress
those
black
recipients
use
black
contractors.
Those
funds
be
held
in
a
black
institution,
there's
a
real
opportunity
to
do
something
special
here
and
not
ordinary
ordinary
business,
as
it
relates
to
who
you're
comfortable
doing
business
with.
F
So
I'm
just
asking
that
we
don't
have
an
exclusive
agreement
that
there
is
a
requirement
that
anything
has
to
go
through
cipa
and
that
we
consider
if
the
funds
have
to
be
held
in
escrow
someplace
other
than
the
city
of
evanston,
who
that
might
be-
and
I
don't
see
why
that
would
have
to
hold
up
a
selection
in
one
week
and
preparing
for
disbursement
for
what
amounts
to
16
checks
over
a
calendar
year.
I
would
argue
that
we
have
the
capacity
in-house
to
manage
the
program
until
we
have
whatever
our
next
steps
are.
C
They
are
the
ones
dispersing
the
funds
and
making
sure
that
everything
has
been
completed
so
that
there's
cost
that
are
associated
with
you
know,
internal
permitting
and
so
forth
that
all
those
things
that
we
have
to
do
internally,
that
things
are
on
time
that
the
process
is
done
smoothly
and
that
we
can
hopefully
be
able
to
move
this
forward.
C
The
mute,
the
mou,
which
is,
when
you
say,
exclusive,
it's
an
mou
for
the
first
16.,
so
we're
all
testing
this
out
and
if
it
works
well,
then
there
is
going
to
have
to
be
conversations
be
beyond
this.
Cipa,
as,
like
I
said,
has
a
relationship
with
the
organization.
C
Has
a
relationship
with
evanston
has
done
construction
management
projects,
which
is
a
huge
component
of
this
work,
as
well
as
being
able
to
provide
assistance
with
first-time
home
buyers
or
home
buyers,
with
assistance
with
closing,
and
so
they
check
all
the
boxes
and
again,
looking
six
months
ago,
I
was
looking
at
how
do
we
move
this
forward
implementation?
C
As
you
all
know,
I
am
you
know
I
myself
will
not
be
here
in
two
weeks,
so
it's
very
important
that
we
have
in
place
a
process
that
staff
who
are
going
to
continue
in
this
organization
can
take
and
move
forward
and
be
able
to
implement
it
and
be
done
in
a
smooth
and
transition
will
happen
in
a
way
that
the
that
the
organization
does
not
have
to
take
a
step
back
due
to
my
absence,
and
so
it
has
been
six
months
that
we've
worked
on
this.
C
B
H
B
B
Now
were
you
finished
yeah,
so
my
response
before
you
get
started?
Is
you
want
to
be
mindful
of
the
time,
and
I
also
want
to
provide
a
little
bit
of
update
from
a
chair's
perspective?
Is
we've
been
doing
this
for
a
number
of
years
and
obviously
they're
very
strong
opinions
and
I'm
in
complete
respect
of
what
everyone
has
to
say?
B
So
I
just
want
to
repeat
that
this
was
seven
months
of
conversation.
I
want
to
highlight
some
things
that,
in
the
document
that
everyone
should
have
had
an
opportunity
to
read,
seniors
don't
have
to
opt
into
this
and
the
document
that
everyone
should
have
read
there
is
no
limit
in
who
they
can
choose
as
a
contractor
versus
nsp2
that
many
people
on
this
call
have
participated
in.
There
are
no
qualification
requirements
other
than
you
have
to
be
licensed.
B
So
there's
no
limiting
contractors
there's
nothing
that
says
that
they
have
to
do
it.
This
is
in
place
for
the
seniors
who
are
requesting
help.
I
also
ask
the
committee
members
to
keep
in
mind
that
the
reason
that
we
have
to
engage
a
third
party
entity
is
because,
if
we
were
to
transfer
the
money
directly
to
our
residents,
then
they
would
be
taxed.
B
F
You
have
a
committee
that
had
we
had
more
engagement
or
regular
updates
or
been
able
to
give
feedback,
or
at
least
if
the
feedback
was
taken
from
the
last
reparations
committee,
then
we
would
not
be
here
with
these
disagreements
right
now
and
then
to
continue
to
hear
every
time
there
is
a
disagreement
with
what
staff
has
decided
that
in
retaliation,
we'll
just
hold
we'll
just
hold
up
the
program,
so
there
is
an
opportunity
to
move
forward
and
also
not
have
an
exclusive
agreement.
F
Again,
it's
the
initial
16
of
this
project.
We
can
take
more
time
to
decide
on
if
this
is
the
right
partner,
or
this
is
the
right
mou,
so
I
don't
see
why
it's
either
a
yes,
exactly
how
we
set
it
or
we
will
don't
know
when
we
can
move
forward
with
the
program.
It
seems
to
be
an
extreme
decision
that
you're
putting
before
us
and
unfair.
B
I
have
and
thank
you,
mr
burns
kimberly
claire
is
waiting
to
speak
and
unfortunately
I
cannot
see
her
hand
on
my
screen.
N
Oh,
no,
that's!
Okay!
I
was
you
know.
I
know
it's
difficult
with
the
way
I
in
because
we
had
started
this
conversation
at
the
last.
Maybe
I
did
do
a
little
research
on
some
black
owned
entities
that
might
that
had
experience
that
were
well
thought
of
good
reputation,
strong
experience
that
might
be
able
to
provide
these
services.
N
N
You
know
that
we're
balancing
is
the
time
issue,
and
you
know
what
you
know
this
desire-
which
I
I
think
is
very
commendable,
and
I
share
with
wanting
to
use
you
know
black
owned
black
run
entities
just
on
principle
and
what
this
project
is
and
being
mindful
that
we
are
being
looked
at
nationally
and,
quite
frankly,
internationally
as
a
as
a
model
and
how
this
is
going.
So
it's
what
what
we
do
is
important
and
those
details,
and
I
don't
think
it's
necessarily
a
small
detail
are
important.
N
However,
I
think
we
could
start
these
discussions
with
some
of
these
entities
and
perhaps
look
at
them
for
further
on
maybe
with
the
next
16.
If
we
find
out,
there's
going
to
be
a
big
time
lag
or
with
some
of
the
other,
the
economic
development
or
education
portion,
or
something
like
that.
N
So
I
think
in
a
way
we
have
to
be
sensitive
about
time,
but
patient
with
ourselves
that
this
has
come
up,
and
I
think
you
know
we're
kind
of
caught
here
because
of
the
time
challenge
that
if,
if
it's
not
quite
ideal,
you
know
that
moving
forward.
This
is
something
that
we'll
tweak
and
look
at
in
the
with
maybe
with
the
coming
disbursements.
N
If
it's
not
possible
with
this
one,
I
don't
know,
but
I
I
do
thank
you
peter,
and
it's
very
sad
for
letting
us
know
it's
very
sad
that
we've
lost
three
ancestors
in
this
intervening
time
period
and
it
does
really
drive
home
the
need
to
be
really
time
efficient
with
getting
this
proposal
done.
But
of
course
we
want
to
do
it
properly
exactly.
C
C
So,
as
you
are
able
to
then
recruit
or
solicit
additional
support
or
additional
organizations,
you
have
a
better
understanding
of
what
your
ask
is,
because
my
ass
with
cipo
was
a
different
ass
than
what
it
ended
up
being
because
of
our
continual
conversation.
So
I
think
this
is
an
opportunity
for
us
to
test
this
to
make
sure
that
what
we're
doing
is
working
and
then
you
all
can
continue
identifying
partnerships
outside
that.
You
want
to
look
at
partnering,
partnering
with
and
also
looking
at
how
to
pay
those
costs,
because
cpa
is
doing
this
again.
C
B
Thank
you
so
much
kimberly.
Next,
we'll
have
council,
member
reed
and
councilmember
burns.
I
I
apologize
you're
you're
on
my
second
screen.
So
as
soon
as
mr
reed
is
finished,
with
his
questions
we'll
get
to
you
and
I
want
to
again
apologize
and
thank
you
for
your
patience.
E
Yeah,
thank
you
councilmember
burns
and
thank
you.
I
will
you're
always
council
member
ruth
simmons
in
my
head,
but
thank
you
rob
as
well
for
your
line
of
questions.
I
have
two
things
or
three
things
that
I
that
I
wanna
answered
so
one
I
heard
you
and
I've
heard
at
a
meeting
or
two
ago,
council
member
birthrate.
E
You
just
mentioned
that
the
reason
we're
going,
at
least
in
part
beyond
the
staff
capacity
issue
and
the
internal
issues
that
that
folks
are
raising
the
reason
we're
going
to
a
third-party
vendor.
If
you
will
is
because
we're
under
the
impression
that
residents
won't
be
taxed
if
it's
from
a
third-party
vendor
rather
than
from
the
city,
is
mine.
Just
did
I
hear
that
correctly.
B
B
O
O
The
only
thing
that
would
be
exclusive
is
the
disbursement
part
of
this.
So
to
me,
I
think
that's
the
the
first
question
we
need
to
answer
is:
are
we
comfortable
with?
Are
we
comfortable
with
with
cipa
having
an
exclusive
agreement,
at
least
for
the
first
16,
with
dispersing
the
funds,
because
other
than
that,
nothing
else
is
exclusive.
The
way
I'm
reading
this,
our
homeowners
or
our
our
residents,
who
are
awarded
the
benefit,
would
have
the
ability
to
hire
anybody
they
wanted
to
as
a
project
manager.
O
I
think
what
this
offers
is
is
cipa
at
no
cost
to
the
homeowner
and
then
some
costs.
I
guess
at
a
later
points
in
the
city,
would
offer
their
project
management
services
at
no
cost
to
the
homeowner,
but
they
could
go
with
any
project
manager.
They
wanted
a
project
manager
that
claire
mentioned
and
any
other
project
management
organization
that
we
could
come
up
with.
So
I
think
the
the
the
first
question
is
the
disbursement
part.
O
What
what
I'm
hearing
from
this
from
city
staff
is
that
we
don't
have
the
cap
capacity
even
before
you
you
get
to
the
tax
question,
that
we
don't
have
the
capacity
to
disperse
these
funds
through
the
city
and
that
they
would
prefer
to
partner
with
whether
it
be
sipa
or
another
organization
to
handle
disbursement.
So
I
just
wanted
some
clarity
on
that.
A
confirmation
on
that,
ms
richardson,
if
you
could
yes
manager,
richardson
yeah,.
C
Well,
there's
two
aspects:
so
capacity
is
one
and
to
get
to
the
point
of
what
councilman
marie
also
mentioned,
when
we
do
any
type
of
disbursement
as
a
city,
we
have
to
go
through
a
very
laborious
process
and,
as
you
know,
there's
bills
lists
that
we
have
to
then
do
which
gives
a
time
capacity,
whereas
with
sifa
they're
able
to
disperse
the
funds
and
re,
and
then
we
reimburse
them
for
those
expenses
which
is
for
us
a
more
efficient
way
of
getting
the
money
out
quicker.
C
And
if
you
go
through
the
builds
list
process,
you
know,
then
it
becomes
more
of
a
you
know,
a
process
that
really
should
be
between
the
homeowner
and
their
contractor.
That
becomes
a
public
process
if
you
are
going
through
cipa,
that
is,
between
the
homeowner
and
their
contractor,
and
the
city
is
being
reimbursed
to
cepa
for
those
services
and
so
that
information
doesn't
have
become
a
public
process
as
to
taxation.
C
The
city
could
still
do
that
to
do
the
disbursement
and
the
individual
will
not
be
taxed.
It's
just
that
we're
not
taxing
the
and
we're
not
sending
the
payment
to
individuals
at
all.
The
process
is
always
going
through
a
third
party,
either
the
financial
institution
or
the
contractor
or
vendor,
and
it's
through
the
process
of
our
permitting
that
will
determine
you
know
at
some
point
final
payment.
So
that
way
people
can
have
that
process.
C
Final
final
walk
through
whatever
they
do,
the
other
home
improvement,
but
as
to
the
other
two,
it's
really
a
matter
of
getting
the
money
out
quicker.
You
can't
do
it
in
our
current
system.
It
is
a
very
bureaucratic
process,
so
we
just
wanted
to
make
sure
someone
was
tracking
it
and
then
we're
able
to
reimburse
those
funds
and
money
to
continually
go
out
to
the
resident
in
a
manner
that
is
of
haste
and
not
of
deliberate
bureaucratic
processes.
E
Yes,
okay,
yeah!
So
if
I'm
clear
here
kimberly
from
what
you
just
said,
that
that
was
not
a
consideration,
maybe
sure
birthday
misspoke.
That
was
not
a
consideration
in
that
we
were
trying
to
avoid
residents
being
taxed
on
this
income.
E
E
Yeah,
but
the
benefit
I
do
miss
ozarido
is
our
attorney.
Is
this
something
that
you
can
weigh
in
on.
A
I
was
going
to
just
reiterate
what
ms
richardson
said:
that
the
city
is
giving
the
money
to
a
third
party,
and
I
did
just
check
with
corporation
council
on
this
as
well,
giving
the
money
to
the
third
party.
The
purpose
would
be
that
it
should
prevent
the
resident
from
getting
taxed.
However,
as
far
as
any
other
potential
tax
consequences
that
could
result,
that
would
be
actually
a
lot
beyond
our
legal
expertise
in
the
department
and
what
what
corporation
council
recommended
is
that
we
would
have
to
consult
with
a
tax
professional.
A
E
A
E
Then
I'm
sorry,
I
I
still
have
two
more
questions,
so
I
I
did
also
hear
from
the
one
question
that
sipa
is
paying
up
front
because
we'd
be
from
what
I
heard
reimbursing
cepa.
So
cipa
is
making
this
payment
from
their
own
coffers
up
front
and
then
we're
reimbursing
them.
That's
what
mr
richardson,
I
just
heard
her
say.
E
C
Mou,
so
I
will
tell
you
right
now
that
I
cannot
answer
that
question
definitively,
but
that
will
be
addressed
of
how
funds
are
getting
submitted,
because
we
will
want
to
have
documentation
as
to
the
funds
being
submitted
for
our
own
purposes
of
making
sure
that
funds
are
being
expended.
The
way
that
our
program
was
designed.
So
I
know
that
you
know.
E
Well,
to
be
fair,
excuse
me
if
I
can
reclaim
some
of
my
time
to
be
expeditious
with
our
time
here.
You
know
this
is
new
to
the
committee.
This
is,
you
know
it
seems
like
the
tax
question.
Yes,
it
has
been
discussed,
but
I'm
hearing
our
attorneys
say
should,
and
you
know
when
I
I'm
watching
closely
the
words
and
there
still
is
uncertainty
about
the
tax
whether
the
resident
would
be
taxed.
I
heard
you
say.
B
B
E
And
then
one
of
the
questions
that
was
asked
and
not
answered
yet
is
and
to
just
again
we're
here
voting
on
the
cipa
to
move
this
forward
with
cipa,
and
we
still
don't
know
it
was
stated
that
cipa
is
paying
upfront,
but
then
you
know
when
I
what
was
just
termed
as
cross-examined
when
I
asked
about
it
it
that
that
then
changed-
and
I
don't
know
from
the
faces
that
I
saw
from
super
folks-
it
doesn't
seem
like
cepa-
is
maybe
willing
to
be
on
the
line
to
pay
this
money
up
front.
E
If
I'm
wrong,
please
correct
me.
Secondly,
at
the
cost
council
member
ray
simmons
asked
us
and
it
wasn't
answered,
I
had
the
same
question.
It
was
mentioned:
there's
a
cost
that
would
be
associated
that
could
be
associated
with
this
and
that's
not
mentioned
in
the
documents
anywhere.
So
I'm
just
curious
what
that
cost
would
be
and-
and
why
would
be
charged.
C
Well,
I
can
speak
to
the
cost.
We
are
not
being
asked
to
to
pay
that
cost
as
a
city,
so
that
cepa
and
that's
equal
determination
that
costs
on
and
how
they
are
going
to
be
able
to.
C
You
know
support
that
that
decision
of
not
charging
the
city,
so
I
will
leave
it
to
rob
to
answer
that
question,
but
as
it
relates
to
the
conversation
of
how
funds
are
going
to
be
submitted,
I
mean
what
I
would
like
to
do
is
look
at
how
we've
done
previous
arrangements
with
simple,
but
in
the
day,
however,
that
would
be
it
would
be
spelled
out
in
mou.
C
I
think
the
kind
of
the
question
it
kind
of
caught
me
off
guard,
and
so
how
I
responded
wasn't
as
well
informed,
but
I
also
want
to
recognize
that
we
haven't
had
that
conversation
with
sql,
because
we've
been
more
concerned
about
making
sure
the
implementation
of
the
program
was
solid.
Before
we
talk
about
the
business
end
of
how
funds
are
going
to
get
to
them.
So
that
would
be
something
that
will
get
addressed
prior
to
my
departure.
I
Sure
so
I
it
may
be
just
to
take
a
a
step
back
to
for
a
second
there
and
there's
been
a
lot
of
discussion
about
cepa,
and
I
just
want
to
be
clear
about
our
motivation
to
be
involved
in
this
program.
I
Rob-
and
I
you
probably
will
remember
two
or
three
years
ago
after
that
first
public
meeting
when
when
danny
glover
came
to
town,
I
reached
out
to
you
at
that
time
and
you
know
shared
that
sipa
would
be
happy
to
be
involved
in
any
way
that
you
deemed
would
be
helpful
and
we
intentionally
did
not
insert
ourselves
too
much
into
any
of
the
conversations
we
did
not
want
to
appear
like
we
were
trying
to.
I
I
I
I
mean,
as
you
all
know,
this
country
has
seen
100
years
of
discriminatory
housing
policies
and
as
an
organization
part
of
our
mission,
to
try
to
help
address
those
discriminatory
housing
policies
that
have
resulted
in
the
segregation
and
the
loss
of
wealth
and
all
the
other
issues
that
that
we
all
know
too
well.
So
as
an
organization,
we
want
to
assist
and
participate
in
any
way
that
you
would
see
helpful
but
are
not
benefiting
from
this
or
or
wanting
to
insert
ourselves
where
you
don't
want
help.
I
So
we're
open
we're
flexible,
we're
open
to
whatever
you
you
would
like
help
with.
If
you
would
like
help
from
cipa,
if
you,
if
you
don't,
that
is
perfectly
fine.
There's
we're
happy
to
you
know
continue
to
continue
to.
You
know,
help
look
at
these
policies
or
whatever
you
would
find
helpful
or
at
all,
and
if
nothing,
that's
fine,
too,
and
just
and
personally,
as
an
evanston
resident.
I
This
I
mean
I
I'm
really
proud
of
this
program,
and
this
is
a
such
a
meaningful,
important
program
that
again
as
an
organization
and
as
an
innocent
resident,
really
means
a
lot
to
us,
and
we
want
to
try
to
support
and
help
wherever
we
can
so
getting
back
to
devon's
question
about
about
cost.
That's
part
of
the
reason
that
we've
we've
said
that
we'll
donate
our
services,
the
question
about
where
there
are
costs.
I
So
all
of
the
all
the
time
and
costs
related
to
the
mortgage
assistance,
whether
it's
helping
first-time
home
buyers,
purchase
a
home
or
whether
it's
the
cost
of
facilitating
those
checks
to
write
down
the
principal
payments
or
monthly
payment.
Prepayments
we'll
absorb
all
those
that
time
and
cost,
we'll
donate
that,
inter
and
in
option
a2
of
the
rehab,
where
the
homeowner
is
really
guiding.
That
will
absorb
that
time
and
cost
and
donate
that
as
well.
I
But
we
are
not
looking
to
we.
We
absolutely
don't
want
any
the
the
reparations
money
to
pay
for
that,
and
so
what
we
would
try
to
do
is
to
do
some
fundraising
to
help
cover
that
time
and
that
cost,
because
that's
a
construction
manager
being
on
site
spending
a
lot
of
time
that
we
have
to
figure
out
a
way
to
pay.
For.
So
we
would
look
to
fundraise
for
that,
but
not
put
that
on
the
reparations
program.
I
I
Question
about
payment.
We,
the
way
we
currently
operate
owner
occupied
rehab
programs-
is
that
we
with
evansen
is
that
we
can
initiate
the
payment
and
then
get
reimbursed
from
the
city.
I
So
we
can
structure
it
that
way
and
then,
in
terms
of
also
the
organization
you
know,
kerry
mentioned
that
ida
considers
us
a
bipac-led
organization,
there's
there's
as
as
a
as
a
non-profit
organization,
there's
no
black-owned
non-profit
organization,
because
there's
no
owner,
it's
it's
community
owned,
but
we
two-thirds
of
our
senior
leadership
are
black
and
57
of
our
director
level
and
up
positions
are
are
bypassed,
so
we
are
considered
by
ida
as
a
bipac-led
organization.
C
One
more
thing-
and
I
just-
and
this
is
why
I
want
to
be-
I
want
to
be
clear
and
mindful
of
the
holistic
specialist
program.
25
000-
is
what
we
are
giving
to
homeowners
if
they
decide
to
do
any
type
of
rehab
and
that
cost
is
is
not
much
in
this
in
this
day
and
age,
and
so
for
those
individuals
who
qualify
for
cdg,
rehab
loans
or
any
other
programs.
C
We
already
have
that
partnership
with
zifa
for
them
to
be
able
to
tap
into
those
resources.
In
addition
to,
and
so
there
is
a
added
benefit
to
our
community
members
who
may
qualify
that
they
don't
have
to
then
go
search
out
for
additional
resources
to
fund
any
additional
costs
that
may
come
about
the
program
that
they
the
project
they
choose
to
move
forward
with,
and
so
I
just
I
want
you
to
realize
too.
C
In
our
our
initial
conversation,
I
wasn't
aware
that
sipa
and
and
then
chair
simmons
had
conversations,
so
it
was
literally
us
going
to
them
as
staff,
because
we
were
looking
at
holistically
how
to
move
this
forward,
not
realizing
relationships
or
conversations
that
were
had
previously.
But
I
do
want
to
remind
you:
this
is
25
000
and
if
there
needs
to
be
additional
funds,
that's
going
to
support
a
whole
project.
There
may
be
opportunities
there
that
can
be
tapped
into
that.
C
The
city
does
not
that
the
city
uses
cpa
for
currently
as
part
of
those
programs.
H
F
B
Mr
reed,
I'm
gonna
move
us
forward.
We've
we've
spent
about
30
minutes
addressing
questions
multiple
times
so
in
terms
of
the
two
agenda,
and
can
we
let's
make
sure
that
we're
not
going
to
get
cut
off
as
we're
at
that
10
30?
We
have
an
open
link.
Okay,
that's
happened
to
us
in
the
past.
B
B
F
C
O
And
sheriff,
may
I
think
the
question
on
the
floor
really
is:
are
we
comfortable
as
a
committee
you
know,
approving
or
however
you
want
to
frame
it
at
least
for
the
first
16
cipa
managing
disbursement,
whether
it
be
in
in
a
reimbursement
you
know
set
up
as
a
reimbursement
or,
however,
it's
set
up,
but
are
we
comfortable
with
that?
O
I
think
I
truly
believe
that
is
the
first
question
we
need
to
answer
as
a
committee
and
then,
if
we're
comfortable
with
that,
then
I
think
that
gives
you
know
city
staff,
the
direction
they
need
to
move
forward
with.
O
That,
if
we
want
to
have
a
work
with
a
different
agency
with
disbursement
after
the
sixth
team,
that
we
could
do
that,
you
know
they
can,
we
can
come
up
with
a
process
where
they,
you
know,
apply
and
there's
a
big
process.
However,
we
want
to
go
about
that,
but
I
think
the
question
is
for
the
first
16:
are
we
comfortable
moving
forward?
E
Yeah,
I
would
love
to
see
this
held
into
our
next
meeting
or
tabled
until
our
next
meeting,
where
an
mru
could
be
presented
with
this,
because
there
there's
some
really
good
information
that
just
was
not
included
here,
such
as
the
cost.
You
know
for
option
b
of
the
be
clear.
C
We
are
not
paying
for
that,
so
that
wouldn't
be
our
mou
because
we
are
not
paying
those
costs.
So
there's
in
our
mou,
it's
about
the
service
being
provided.
That's
why
the
document
you
see
in
front
of
you
is
what
the
mou
is
going
to
be
other
than
when
funds
are
dispersed,
which
is
really
an
administrative
task.
C
There
is
no
cost
to
the
city
for
the
first
16,
so
there
wouldn't
be
any
cost
that
we
are
looking
to
approve
so
whatever
the
cost
it
is
that
zepa
has
to
look
for
to
manage
those
16
or
manage
individuals
who
decide
to
use
the
sipa
manage
that's
on
cipa
to
figure
out
the
mou
states
that
cepa
is
taking
on
that
obligation,
because
that
is
not
cost
that
the
city
will
be
required
to
provide
as
part
of
the
service.
B
C
C
What
you're,
looking
at
and
reading
is
a
very
complete
document
of
how
the
community
members
are
going
to
be
able
to
receive
the
funds
and
that's
what
we're
asking
you
to
approve,
not
an
administrative
task,
which
is
what
is
my
responsibility
to
make
sure
I
work
with
the
legal
department
to
ensure
that
that
is
completed
and
done
so
this
document
is
all
I'm
asking
you
all
to
review
and
to
give
your
approval
on
and
to
the
council
member's
point.
C
C
C
C
So,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
councilman
marie,
I
recognize
that
you
want
everything
in
front
of
you,
but
as
councilmember
briefly
just
mentioned,
three
individuals
has
passed
within
the
last
four
weeks,
so
we
can
continue
back
and
forth
or
we
can
begin
the
process,
at
least
with
the
first
16
moving
forward,
so
that
the
community
members
can
at
least
have
the
opportunity
to
receive
the
funds
before
june
or
july
of
this
year.
O
I
just
want
to
quickly
add
that,
as
other
amendments
and
changes
that
happen
on
the
floor,
it
is
binding.
So
if
we,
you
know
request
that
staff
make
any
change
or
amendment
or
addition
that
will
happen,
but
apparently.
O
O
It
is
here
means
we,
we
have
a
voice
in
it,
and
so
again
I
just
want
to
go
back
to.
I
want
to
keep
reiterating
that
this
really
is
only
about
disbursement.
Even
what
deputy
manager
richardson
just
said
about
working
with
siebel,
I
think
that
even
communicates
may
communicate
the
wrong
thing.
This
is
just
about
disbursement
because,
again,
even
in
what
we
have
in
front
of
us,
the
community
member
is
allowed
to
work
with
whomever
they
want
to
in
terms
of
project
management
or
manage
it
themselves.
O
So
I
just
want
to
be
very
clear
that
that,
fundamentally,
all
this
is
is
is
who
is
dispersing
the
money
and
cipa
is
offering
right
as
a
service
to
provide
project
management
if
it's
accepted
voluntarily
by
the
the
resident.
So
that's
really
all
that's
in
front
of
us
right
now.
E
Was
still
unclear
how
the
money
is
even
getting
and
when
it's,
when
we're
talking
about
400
thousand
dollars
going
from
city
coffers
to
an
organization.
I
think
that
is
something
we
need
to
be
clear
on
how
that
money
is
going
from
our
city
account
to,
and
that
certainly
needs
council
approval
for
transferring
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
from
the
city
to
an
outside
organization.
C
We
are
not
transferring
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
we
are
being
reimbursed,
so
that
goes
through
the
business
process.
So
uos
city
council
will
be
approving
those
disbursements
through
the
bills
list.
It's
just
that
this
resident
doesn't
have
to
wait
45
to
60
days
to
receive
a
check
from
the
city
through
our
bills
list
process.
So
you
will
have
an
opportunity
to
review
the
bills
that
are
coming
through
through
this
program
and
a
report
can
be
given
even
to
the
committee
just
so
you
are
aware
of
what
are
being
allocated
for
these
funds.
C
B
O
For
the
first
16,
I
I'm
comfortable
moving
forward
in
this
way
for
two
reasons:
one
because
it
is
really
important
to
me
that
that
our
ancestors
receive
this
benefit
as
quickly
as
as
we
can.
If
there
was
a
scenario
where
we
could
both
maybe
run
a
selection
or
bid
process
for
disbursement
and
keep
up
with
dispersing
the
funds
and
and
as
soon
as
possible.
O
You
know
that's
something
that
I'd
consider,
but
we
don't
have
that
on
the
table
today,
and-
and
so
I
there's
some
skepticism
on
whether
or
not
we'd
be
able
to
do
that
and
issue
the
benefits
to
our
ancestors
at
a
time
that
I
think
we
all
want
to
and
that
they
expect
that's
the
question
I
get
more
than
anything,
certainly
more
than
than
the
who
who
who
is
going
to
provide
pro
bono
project
management
is
when
these,
when
this
benefit
is
going
to
be
issued,
and
so
I
think,
to
remain
consistent
to
what
I'm
hearing
I'm
comfortable
moving
forward
in
this
way
for
the
first
16,
and
we
can
take
another
look
at
it
and
then.
O
The
second
reason
is
you
know.
Cipa
is
an
organization
that
that
that,
while
it's
headquartered
out
of
evanston
operates
in
everson
substantially
and
has
a
lot
of
deep
relationships
and
and
partnerships
in
the
community,
and
so
I
feel
comfortable
working
with
them
with
the
first
16
and
would
always
love
to
see
you
know
and
would
always
love
to
see.
You
know
black-owned
organizations
involved
and
have
a
prominent
role,
and
especially
in
this
type
of
program,
if,
if
one
presents
themselves,
I
think
we
can
consider
them.
E
I'll
tell
you
if
I
can
close
up
this,
I
you
know
I
I'm
like
we're
moving
forward
with
this.
I
guess,
and
I
certainly
want
to
get
the
the
money
to
particular
ancestors.
I
do
in
part,
see
it
a
little
sad
that
our
city
can't
prioritize
internally
or
working
with
someone.
You
know
prioritize.
E
You
know
something
as
important
as
repairing
the
harm
that
was
caused
by
the
city.
To
you
know
our
black
community
directly.
You
know
the
fact
that
we
can't
handle
16.
You
know.
Checks
tells
me
about
our
real
priorities
internally.
So
thank
you,
mr.
B
B
N
So
I
I
don't
have
anything
to
add
to
my
comment:
I'm
very
much
aligned
with
what
council
council
member
burns
said
that
you
know
this
whole
discussion.
O
And
chair
quickly,
I'm
sorry
I
just
I
do
want
to
acknowledge
what
in
dona
said
in
the
chat,
and
I
and
I
agree
with
her.
I
do
think
that's
true
and
I've.
I
mentioned
that
at
the
last
meeting
that
this
does,
you
know,
elevate
cipa
in
such
a
way
that
would
allow
them
to
raise
funds
for
their
organization
having
been
participated
at
this
early
stage
and
such
a
historical
event,
and
so
that
is,
I
agree
with
her
on
that
and
again.
O
B
F
I
need
I
need
to
say
this,
that
agreeing
with
indonna
and
bobby
and
and
mostly
everyone.
I
think
the
opportunity
here
is
to
remind
staff
that
you
have
a
volunteer
appointed
committee.
That
is
here
to
do
the
work
and
speaking
directly
with
the
residents
and
we've
had
other
organizations
predating
rob
coming
to
the
town
hall
in
december
of
2019
as
early
as
spring
of
2019
volunteering,
their
time
that
also
have
the
same
competencies
and
skills
to
do
something
like
this.
F
So
had
there
been
a
seven-month
dialogue
between
the
committee
and
staff
and
not
with
the
committee
and
their
partners
we
may
have
had-
or
we
certainly
would
have
had
a
more
comfortable
outcome
today.
So
I'm
just
going
to
encourage
staff
to
remember
that
you
have
volunteers
here
that
are
sacrificing
their
time
to
contribute,
and
please
do
consider
us
and
all
the
other
committees,
not
just
the
reparations
committee.
B
The
there
is
action
for
the
approval
of
the
reparations,
restorative
housing
procedures
and
implementation,
so
staff
is
seeking
that
approval
for
the
reparations,
restorative
housing
procedures
and
implementation.
C
K
Yes,
I
will
prove,
even
though
I
didn't
get
a
copy
of
the
of
what
we're
voting
on
and
in
the
future.
I
would
like
to
have
something
in
front
of
me
to
see
that
I'm
voting
on,
but
in
the
presence
of
a
new
year
and
goodwill,
I
will
vote
affirmative.
B
Thank
you,
mr
sutton,
we'll
make
sure
that
you
receive
a
copy
of
the
full
packet
from
this
meeting
as
well
as
moving
forward.
Mr.
O
N
Clear
I
I
approve,
but
I
I
want
to
say,
particularly
with
the
the
amendment
that
ms
richardson
said
for
the
first
16.
B
Thank
you
very
much
council
member
reed.
B
I
think
my
comments
just
briefly
after
this
is
a
reminder
to
those
that
are
listening
in
this
is
our
first
16
for
those
that
are
aware
of
organizations
and
other
groups
or
businesses
that
have
the
capacity
to
now
that
you
have
a
template
that
outlines
the
services
that
we're
doing
for
this
first
round.
B
Please
feel
free
to
share
that
document
and
send
that
information
into
staff
as
we
continue
to
move
forward.
So
I
would
like
to
thank
you
all
for
your
feedback
as
well
as
comments
throughout
this,
and
particularly
super
rob
and
carrie.
I
want
to
thank
you
all
for
for
for
walking
with
us
on
this
on
this
first
step.
Carrie
you've
been
real.
Instrumental
in
providing
good
feedback
in
terms
of
experiences
is
working
with
us
with
our
seniors
rob
you
have
a
long
history
of
providing
good
services
and
products
in
terms
of
housing.
B
So
I
just
can't
thank
you
enough
for
your
investment
during
this
process
and
then
I
also
know
that
audrey
thompson
is
on
the
line
who
has
been
able
to
provide
feedback
as
well
as
we
look
to
make
sure
that
our
seniors
are
treated
with
the
respect
and
dignity
and
receive
their
repair
in
timely
fashion.
So
with
that
being
said,
can
we
just
have
one
additional
item.
B
C
We,
as
we
mentioned,
we
have
verified
and
are
ready
to
move
forward
with
the
selection
of
the
next
16..
His
at
the
request
has
been
requested
that
we
do
that
as
soon
as
possible.
So
we
would
like
to
have
that
scheduled
in
person
on
january
13th,
so
that
we
can
begin
preparing
and
start
sending
out
notifications
to
those
individuals
and
secondly,
as
to
the
selection
process
and
how
again
per
the
guidelines,
it
has
it's
a
randomized
process.
C
C
So
we
are
going
to
do
some
type
of
selection,
where
it's
more
of
a
pulling
of
the
of
the
ping
pong
ball
from
a
device
either
cage
or
some
other
device
that
either
a
community
or
cities
committee
member
or
a
community
member
pulled
from.
I
want
to
be
clear.
The
idea
is
not
to
dramatize
this.
It's
really
to
make
this
part
of
business.
So
that
way
we
can
move
forward
with
finalizing
and
identifying
the
first
16
and
then
also
identifying
the
rest
of
the
participants.
C
So
they
know
what
where
they
sit
in
the
in
the
ranking
of
the
final
100
plus
individuals
that
will
be
up
for
funding
in
the
coming
years.
So.
E
If
I
may
ask
the
question
about
the
selection
process,
let's
say
that
I
am
a
you
know:
an
ancestor
senior,
you
know
someone
who
qualifies
for
this
first
round
100
and
whatever-
and
I
am
so
one
to
clarify
the
application
process-
is-
is
closed.
E
C
Ancestors
who
have
applied
have
been
verified
and
they
are
the
ones
that
we're
selecting
from
so
they
have
been.
They
are
in
receipt
of
their
unique
id
number,
so
they
know
that
number
as
well
as
the
next
steps.
They
have
been
informed
that
we
will
be
selecting
the
after
selecting
the
first
16
this
month,
so
they
are
already
identified
and
verified.
E
Guess
yeah,
that's
that's
not
the
question
necessarily,
but
it's
it's
to
be
clear.
The
folks
who
have
applied
thus
far,
I
think
alderman
braithwaite,
said
answered
this
already,
but
the
answer
is
yes.
The
400
somehow
people
overall
who
have
applied
are
the
only
people
who
are
going
to
be
eligible
at
all
for
evanston
operations
correct.
No,
no!
No,
so
there
will
be.
There
will
be
a
second
application
process.
E
Okay,
so
another
program
will
have
another
application
process.
This
program
will
not
have
another
application
process.
That's.
E
E
But
let's
say
I'm
a
senior
and
I
don't
want
this
particular
form
of
repair
and
I'm
one
of
the
hundred
and
some
odd
people
who
qualify
and
my
number
gets
drawn,
and
I
say
well,
I
want
reparations,
I'm
maybe
holding
out
for
the
next
program.
If
I
turn
this
down,
am
I
what
happens
to
me?
If
I
say
I
don't
I
want
reparations,
I
just
don't
necessarily
want
this
program.
C
B
E
Well,
I
highly
appreciate
that
you're
saying
that
my
presence
means
we
have
a
more
thorough
discussion.
So
I
appreciate
that.
But
what
I'm
asking
here
is
directly
related
to
item
b,
we're
talking
about
the
selection
process,
and
I
want
to
make
sure
that
if
it's
hold
on
alderman,
if
a
senior,
if,
if
one
of,
if
and
excuse
me
tim
excuse
me.
C
So
we
can
move
on
so
that
we
can
make
a
decision
on
when
to
do
this
next
step
questions,
so
I
can
answer
for
you,
sir.
E
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
if
a
senior
applies
for
this
and
or
if
they've
applied-
and
they
determined
that
this
is
not
the
repair
that
they
want,
that
they're
not
booted
out
of
out
of
the
the
program
that
they're
still
eligible
for
another
program
down
the
road,
it
was
not
clear
to
me
and
I
don't
think
it
was
clear
to
the
community
or
even
to
this
committee,
whether
or
not
we're
going
to
have
separate
application
processes
for
separate
programs
and
then.
E
Secondly,
you
know:
do
these
applications
they're
they're,
you
know
100
and
some
are
people
who
are
going
to
be
a
part
of
this
selection
process,
which
is
what
we're
talking
about
now.
The
rest
of
them
applied
thinking
that
they
may
be
eligible.
We
determined
after
the
applications
were
submitted
rightfully
so
that
we'd
be
focusing
on
the
ancestors,
and
so
I'm
curious
do
their
applications
roll
over
to
the
next
program
without
them
having
to
jump
through
hoops
again
to
become
a
part
of
the
selection
process.
So.
C
Let
me
just
answer
your
first
question
because
a
lot
of
the
questions
you
ask
actually
have
been
asked
and
answered
during
the
committee
conversation
as
well
as
our
community
forums.
You
should
go
back
and
look
at
one
of
those
forums
because
we
really
did
delve
deep
into
this
one.
This
is
a
the
application
that
was
submitted.
C
The
program
application
was
an
eligibility
application
for
this
program.
Those
who
have
submitted
that
application,
our
ancestors
have
been
dead.
We
went
through
to
verify
that
they
are
legit
our
ancestors,
those
who
weren't
were
notified
and
asked
to
submit
additional
documentation,
long
story
short.
We
were
able
to
verify
the
majority
of
those
listed
and
have
now
bring
forward
to
you
all
that
list
that
we
will
be
selecting
for
the
next
meeting.
C
To
your
other
point,
the
direct
descendants
were
notified
that
we
are
going
to
prioritize
the
ancestors
first
and
then
we
will
begin
the
process
of
allowing
us
reviewing
their
applications
coming
this
spring.
But
we
need
to
finalize
the
ancestors
and
get
that
program
up
and
going.
We
have
created
internally
an
implementation
team
so
that
they
are
going
to
begin
the
process
of
reviewing
those
applications
and
verifying
that
in
the
coming
months,
and
so.
C
C
So
to
that
end,
if
someone's
an
ancestor
decides
that
they
don't
want
to
participate
in
the
program,
they
have
the
choice
to
identify
a
direct
descendant,
as
it's
stated
in
the
guidelines
to
take
that
fund
or
they
can
decline
and
they
will
not
be
and
they
will
not
be
penalized.
If
another
program
is
developed
and
they
decide
they
want
to
apply
for
that
program.
So
it's
very
clearly
stated
in
the
guidelines-
and
we
have
discussed
this
publicly
on
a
number
of
occasions.
C
B
B
F
You
may
have
said
this,
but
the
this
will
be
public
or
open
to
those
that
receive
their
compliance
letter.
It
would
be
public.
C
B
Yes,
yes,
there's,
yes,.
B
O
And
we
had
a,
I
think,
something
in
the
chat
that
said,
would
it
be?
Will
the
public
be
okay,
never
mind?
We
answered
that
already:
okay,
yeah.
B
Yes,
thank
you
for
monitoring
that
it's
difficult
for
me
to
see
it
on
on
the
phone
who
else,
mr
sudden,
mr
reed,
are
you
available
to
attend?
Yes,
all
right!
Thank
you,
claire.
Are
you
available
on
the
13th.
N
B
E
E
Throw
one
thing
out
there:
I
think
I
heard
kimberly
say
this,
but
just
to
be,
I
think
you
know.
I
think
we
want
to
be
very
cautious
about
the
optics
of
this.
You
know
I
I
just
you
know
to
make
it
not
too
lottery
and
not
to
you
know.
This
is
a
kind
of,
and
I'm
sure
everyone
knows
this
is
a
serious
and
solid
moment.
B
E
B
You
people
for
your
for
your
statement
so
with
that
said
we'll
we
can
go
ahead
and
move
forward
to
calendar.
The
meeting
on
the
30th,
our
next
committee
meeting
thurs
next
thursday
january
thirteenth
at
nine
o'clock,
we'll
host
it
at
fleetwood
jourdain
more
any
additional
details
regarding
the
hybrid
camera.
We
can
talk
about
that
just
to
make
sure
we
have
that
accommodation
and
then
we'll
make
sure
that
the
information
goes
out.
B
C
I
know
that's
going
to
be
clear,
so
we
are,
this
is
going
to
be
for
next
thursday
9
a.m,
and
I
will
verify
the
location
this
afternoon.
B
Seeing
that
we
don't
have
any
additional
information
in
front
of
us
we'll
go
ahead
and
entertain
a
motion
to
adjourn.
C
We
cannot,
we
cannot.
I
mean
I,
I
we
don't
need
to
do
a
motion
to
adjourn,
but
we
also
need
knowledge
that
we
did
not
do
public
comment.
So
can
I
have
simmons
provide
her
comments
and
then
we
can
do
public
comment
at
the
end,
but
we
don't
need
to
make
a
motion
to
adjourn.
So
we
can
adjourn
once
the
meeting
as
the
public
comments
are
completed.
F
Just
wanted
to
say
that
I
actually
one
of
our
one
of
my
neighbors,
miss
diggs,
sent
me
an
article
that
illinois
has
doubled
the
cannabis
sales
from
last
year
and
that's
only
a
good
thing
for
the
funding
of
our
reparations.
I
know
we
didn't
have
our
financial
report
today,
so
I
just
want
to
say
I
was
encouraged
to
see
that
that
industry
is
doing
well
and
exceeding
its
projections.
M
C
I
will
allow
individuals
to
speak
and
then
those
who
are
all
right
can
I
go
ahead.
I'm
going
to
try
to
do
this
at
the
same
time.
So
apologies
here.
C
We
say:
go
ahead:
oh
okay,
deputy
brown.
C
Go
ahead
and
jesse
johnson
is
also
jesse
johnson.
C
Would
you
go
ahead
and
mute
yourself?
Thank
you.
C
Thank
you,
tina
payton.
Let
me
find
you
here.
Sorry,
I
don't
see
tina
hayden.
Do
anyone
else
see
tina
peyton
I'll,
come.
J
C
Oh,
oh,
okay.
Let
me
go
ahead
and
ask
demetrius
to
unmute
yourself.
J
C
I'll
get
to
her.
Let
me
go
through
here:
go
ahead,
miss
greer
go
ahead
and
go
ahead
and
make
your
comment.
L
Good
morning,
everyone
I
just
want
to
first
say
that
I
my
understanding
at
the
last
meeting
that
was
that
this
meeting
was
going
to
give
you
know
members
the
opportunity
to
come
up
with
a
list
of
other
organizations
that
would
be
able
to
do
the
same
work
that
cepa
has
agreed
to
do.
L
But
obviously
it's
not
that's
not
the
case,
but
I
do
want
to
ask
the
committee
that
going
forward
before
any
decisions
are
made.
Would
you
please
make
the
information
public
knowledge
you've
mentioned
on
numerous
occasions?
Transparency,
and
I
believe
that
in
this
particular
case
it
was
not
transparent.
It
was
brought
up
for
the
first
time
at
the
last
meeting
and
I
really
do
believe
that,
in
order
for
it
to
be
in
the
best
interest
of
our
community.
L
It
has
to
be
presented
to
us
before
the
final
decision
is
made
and
just
like
we're
asked
to
respect
the
time
and
participation
of
others.
I
would.
I
would
hope
that
you
kimberly,
as
well
as
other
committee
members,
understand
that
we
as
a
community
are
also
taking
time
out
of
our
lives
to
make
sure
that
not
only
our
seniors
are
taken
care
of,
but
also
the
descendants,
because,
though
they
do
come
first.
L
M
Hi
good
evening,
excuse
me
good
morning,
everyone
used
to
talking
in
the
evening.
I
would
like
to
say
that
I
agree
with
almost
everything
that
robin
roo
said
today.
M
It
is
very
important
that
that,
as
andona
said,
transparency
and
I
think
alderman
braceway-
that
you
should,
if
we're
having
a
meeting
that
you
should
not
start
cutting
people
off
when
we
have
important
questions,
especially
from
the
committee
people,
and
we
want
to
hear
it
online,
we
don't
want
you
to
have
a
discussion
offline.
M
We
would
like
the
answers
too.
So
when
a
committee
person
has
a
question,
we
hope
that
we
could
hear
the
answer,
not
in
the
back
door.
You
know
behind
where
we
can't
listen
to
the
answer
to,
because
sometimes
we
have
the
same
questions.
I
had
a
lot
of
same
questions
that
robin
answered
asked
and
I
don't
feel
like
we
got
appropriate
answers
from
that.
M
Also,
I
would
like
to
know
kimberly
said
that
she
was
leaving
in
two
weeks
who
will
be
taking
your
place
as
part
of
this
procedure.
Do
you
have
an
answer
for
that?
I.
C
M
Okay,
and
also
so
I
did
have
the
same
similar
question.
I've
I've
been
to
most
of
the
meetings
except
for
the
last
several,
because
I've
had
many
health
issues
in
person,
and
I
hope
that
the
meetings
will
be
hybrid
because
there
are
some
of
us
that
have
illnesses
that
do
not
want
to
participate
in
person
quite
yet
because
of
the
high
coveted
numbers.
M
So
I
would
appreciate
a
hybrid
meeting
and
also
I
did
have
a
similar
question
as
alderman
reed
about
the
the
next
selection
and
the
open
application.
I
know
that
I'm
kind
of
expediting
you
know
the
the
procedure,
but
unfortunately
I
was
not
able
to
my
family
was
not
able
to
apply
for
this
round,
and
I
hope
that
we
will
have
an
opportunity
to
apply
for
the
next
time.
M
M
And
so
I
would
expect
that
after
we
get
through
with
the
first
distribution
that
there
should
be
quite
a
bit
some
large
sum
of
money
to
distribute
quickly.
And
I
hope
that,
again
with
robin's
comment
that
we
should
be
able
to
have
someone
other
than
cepa,
I
think
that's
kind
of
like
you're
you're,
forcing
the
people
to
participate,
even
though
you
say
there's
option
a
or
b.
M
Maybe
we
don't
want
them
to
be
involved
at
all.
I
have
a
issue
with
them
personally
myself,
but
you
know
that's
a
different
issue,
and
so
I
hope
that
you
will
have
a
much
more
discussion
about
that
in
the
next
time.
Okay,
I
hope
everyone
stays
safe
and-
and
thank
be
you
tina.
P
Thank
you.
I
am
carter.
I
would
like
to
say
first
of
all
that
I
am
not
from
evanston.
I
am
from
durham
north
carolina
and
I've
been
watching
from
durham
what
evanston
has
been
doing,
because
I
represent
the
back
in
the
black
coalition
in
durham,
and
we
have
been
fighting
for
45
of
the
american
rescue
plan
at
funds
to
go
to
black
lead
and
black
owned
businesses,
organizations
and
individuals
that
qualify
for
arpa.
P
P
We
are
also
struggling
with
transparency,
as
it
sounds
like
you
all
are,
and
we
are
really
just
trying
to
make
sure
that
these
funds,
that
are
that
were
specifically
made
available
to
address
virtual
equity
and
transformational
projects
to
be
operationalized
and
put
into
the
hands
of
those
who
need
them.
So
I
am
just
putting
in
the
chat
my
email
address
and
also
a
document
that
we've
been
keeping
of
some
a
bunch
of
information,
and
that's
all
of
my
comments,
I
commend
all
of
you
all
on
the
work
that
you're
doing.
P
We
have
struggled
with
staff
as
well
as
with
our
council
members,
and
we
some
of
the
things
that
I've
heard
and
seen
in
this
meeting
are
very
similar
to
what's
happening
in
durham.
But
what
I
also
see
is
multiple
groups
of
people
from
citizens
to
policy
makers
that
are
really
trying
very
hard
to
make
sure
that
funding
is
more
equitable
than
it
has
been
in
the
past.
Those
are
my
comments.
Thank
you.
C
G
Stay
the
best
hi
everybody,
it's
vanessa,
johnson,
mccoy
first,
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
kimberly
for
all
of
your
work
and
your
service
and
each
one
of
you
that
have
served,
but
because
I
heard
you
mentioned
that
you're
leaving
us
in
two
weeks,
boo
hoo.
D
G
And
secondly,
I
am
actually
really
glad
that
you
see
the
end,
because
what
I
would
have
said
at
the
beginning,
I
don't
have
to
ask
face
those
things
because
you've
already
discussed
it.
So
I'm
happy-
and
I
want
to
just
echo
a
number
of
things
that
have
already
been
stated
and
I
won't
restate
them
because
they've
already
been
stated,
but
I
will
just
I
just
will
say
that,
as
you
all
probably
know,
I'm
a
local
african-american
realtor
in
evanston
born
and
raised
and
going
forward.
G
As
has
already
been
stated,
we
are
here
to
support
I've
been
engaged
in
this
work
since
the
beginning,
since
I
heard
about
it
and
I'm
a
strong
supporter
and
anything
that
I
can
do
we're
here
to
assist
so
please
reach
out.
We
know
black
contractors,
we
know
black.
I
mean,
like
almost
anything
in
the
real
estate
arena.
G
We
know
I
am
a
member
of
dearborn
realtors
and
we're
looking
to
establish
a
north
shore
nehrab
chapter
here
in
the
in
the
well.
We
can't
do
evanston
because
we're
too
close
to
chicago
but
in
the
north
shore,
so
we're
here
to
help
and
support
in
any
way.
G
We
can
so
I'm
excited
about
the
selection
next
thursday
and
I
do
hope
that
it
will
be
available
virtually,
as
has
already
also
been
stated
for
our
seniors
and
one
last
question
is:
I
was
helping
one
of
the
ancestors
and
I
did
get
the
email
that
more
information
was
needed.
So
I
didn't
get
another
follow-up,
but
I'll
just
call
her
and
ask
her:
did
she
get
a
letter
that
says
yes
or
no
and
then
take
it
offline?
So
again,
thank
you
all
for
your
work
and
I'm
excited
about
the
selection
process.
C
If
vanessa,
if
you
want
to
email
me,
I
can
tell
you
if
that
person
got
a
letter.
B
Well,
thank
you
all.
This
concludes
our
public
comment.
What
a
wonderful
note
to
end
on
I
want
to
thank
you
all,
not
only
our
community
members
for
your
participation
today,
but
throughout
this
whole
process,
to
move
us
one
step
closer
to
our
first
repair
to
our
committee
members.
I
want
to
thank
you
all
for
a
very
robust
conversation,
a
lot
of
good
ideas
and
and
definitely
areas
that
we
will
follow
up
in
the
future
as
we
continue
to
move
through
this
this
process
to
kimberly
our
staff
michelle.
B
I
want
to
thank
you
all
very
much
so
much
more
to
work.
That
needs
to
be
done,
but
your
commitment
to
this
effort
has
been
landmark
and
I
cannot
thank
you
enough
and
kimberly.
We
look
forward
to
celebrating
you
the
appropriate
way
next
week
when
we're
in
person
with
that
being
said,
we
will
adjourn
our
meeting
and
I
look
forward
to
seeing
you
all
next
week.
9
a.m,
at
pleat,
with
jordan,
have
a
good
day.
