A
A
We
honor
those
enslaved
African
people
whose
forced
labor
was
exploited
for
generations
to
help
establish
the
economy
of
our
region
and
the
United
States.
We
honor
those
black
ancestors
who
persevere
despite
the
discriminatory
laws
and
practices
that
created
a
racial
caste
system,
legitimized
anti-black
racism
and
continue
to
plague
our
community.
Today.
A
It
is
only
by
recognition
and
understanding
of
these
errors
begun
during
our
nation's
Origins
and
continuing
today
that
we
hope
to
correct
our
path.
We
acknowledge
this
exploitation
of
not
only
minds
and
labor
but
of
our
Humanity.
We
grieve
for
those
black
ancestors
who,
despite
their
contribution
to
this
City's
wealth
and
freedom,
were
never
recognized
fairly
compensated,
nor
allowed
to
fully
realize
their
own
sovereignergy
sovereignty
because
of
their
work.
A
We
are
here
and
will
invest
in
the
descendants
of
that
Legacy
and
through
this
process
we
work
to
repair
some
of
the
harms
caused
by
the
City
of
Evanston.
We
also
hope
our
focused
attempts
at
reparations
will
serve
as
an
example
to
the
United
States
government
and
prop
other
institutional
accomplices.
To
begin
the
process
of
repair,
Evanston
reparations
committee.
B
Thank
you,
Committee
Member,
Lockhart
and
moving
on
to
agenda
item
QA.
We
have
our
reparations
use
our
contest
results.
This
is
a
really
exciting
and
special
contest
for
our
youth
City
to
express
what
reparation
means
to
them.
I
hope
you
all
will
look
at
the
package
and
see
the
art
that
they've
submitted.
It's
been
a
tremendous
effort
on
their
part.
We
do
have
some
winners
and
since
I'm,
not
in
the
in
person,
I'm
going
to
ask
council
member
excuse
me
Committee
Member,
Claire
McFarland.
If
you
could
share
the
announcements.
F
C
G
Hi
everyone,
I'm,
Maya,
Hadaway
or
I,
am
safe.
Thank
you
very
much
for.
F
Mother's
Day,
thank
you
for
acknowledging
me
I'm,
really
happy
to
be
a
part
of
this
historical
movement
and
especially
in
the
city
where
I
was
born.
That's
very
exciting
and
I'm
really
excited
to
see
these
sorry
I'm
really
excited
to
see
our
obstacles
begin
to
subside
through
this
historical
movement
through
reparations,
yeah.
F
My
piece,
it
actually
came
from
a
conversation
with
my
mom
when
we
were
talking
about
reparations
and
what
that
means
to
us
and
the
visual
that
came
to
our
heads
was
like
a
bunch
of
doors
opening
for
new
generations
as
they
overcome
obstacles
that
leave
and
our
ancestors
have
endured
towards.
E
I,
don't
know
if
the
camera
has
is
able
to
focus
on
her
submission
was
very
impressive
and
I
should
have
introduced
her
she's,
a
second
ward
resident
and
she's
in
her
junior
year
at
the
University
of
California,
Los
Angeles.
There's
her
submission
and
I
know
you're
here,
virtually
Mia,
so
I
wanna
I,
hope
we
can
show
you
your
certificate,
which
will
be
sent
to
you
soon.
Congratulations
and
thank
you
for
participating.
E
Have
our
next
Generation
see
our
next
Generation
developing
there?
Wonderful,
so
our
do
we
have
javaya
Wright
is.
C
E
E
I
E
We
want
to
extend
congratulations
to
you,
and
would
you
like
to
say
something
about
your
piece.
J
E
E
J
My
artwork,
my
painting,
represents,
if
you
haven't
noticed,
but
at
the
bottom
of
the
people,
those
are
shackles.
The
shackles
represents
the
struggle
that
black
people
had
to
endure
while
buying
property
events.
C
D
D
Can
read
what
she
the
description?
Okay,
she
said:
I
want
to
pair
my
art
style,
full
of
different
small
Doodles
with
an
overall
Universal
message.
Truth
there
was
broken
just
because
it
happened
a
long
time
ago
doesn't
mean
people
forget
or
that
injustices
aren't
happening
right
now
and
just
ignoring.
That
is
not
right,
even
if
the
Injustice
was
in
the
past.
If
no
one
took
the
first
step,
who
would
not
all
wounds
heal
on
their
own?
Not
all
problems
can
be
fixed
of
words.
E
Thank
you
so
much
for
that
submission
and
for
those
wise
words,
I
understand
you're,
a
student
at
Caven
middle
school,
and
this
is
I
I
hope
that
you'll
be
able
to
see
your
receipt
I
can
received.
If
you
see
your
certificate,
your
award
and
you'll
be
a
receipt
of
that
shortly.
Thank
you.
So
much
everyone
for
participating
very
impressive,
have
a.
B
I
B
L
B
And
so
we
also
want
to
thank
the
Arts
Council
for
coordinating
this
effort
and
making
available
the
budget
to
give
them
a
monetary
award
for
their
efforts,
and
so
we're
going
to
move
on
now
to
item
three
which
is
testimonials,
and
we
shared
last
week
that
we're
going
to
do
more
to
hear
from
community
and
continue
listening
as
well
and
using
it
to
inform
our
work.
B
And
so
this
testimonial
period
is
for
anyone
that
would
like
to
take
three
minutes
to
share
their
case
for
Recreations
and
Evanston
historically,
currently
a
black
resident
in
Evanston.
That
wants
to
share
their
experience.
Their
lived
experience
as
a
black
resident
and
any
way
you
want
to
contribute
to
the
case
for
reparation
here
in
Evanston.
M
N
L
My
name
is,
and
for
those
that
don't
know
me,
I'm
a
fifth
generation
evanstonian
and
my
live
experience.
I
must
say,
as
someone
who
left
here
at
the
age
of
17
and
moved
back
over
20
years
later,
coming
back
to
my
hometown
and
finding
that
it's
very
difficult
for
young
families
to
be
able
to
purchase
affordable
homes
and
it's
extremely
difficult
for
people
who
want
to
remain
here.
And
unless
you
have
a
very
high
income,
oftentimes,
a
six-figure
income.
L
You
will
not
be
able
to
afford
to
remain
here
and
the
more
you
do,
research
on
how
families
have
been
displaced
and
how
generational
wealth
has
been
systemically
stolen
from
black
people
throughout
the
United
States
and
specifically
in
Evanston.
It's
very
hard
not
to
become
angry,
and
just
personally
my
own
Journey,
coming
back
into
Evanston
and
just
trying
to
find
an
apartment
with
very,
very,
very
difficult
and
I'm.
Just
I'm,
proud
of
the
work
that
my
city
has
been
doing
and
the
work
that
Robin
the
Simmons
has
been
doing.
L
B
O
M
Okay,
okay
yeah,
my
name
is
Brenda
Greer
and
I
was
born
in
Evanston
and
raised
in
Evanston
and
I
was
only
out
of
the
City
of
Evanston.
For
maybe
three
years
when
my
mother
went
back
south,
my
mother
wouldn't
I
wanted
to
buy
when
I
was
working
in
the
South
and
because
of
my
mother's
experiences.
I
did
not
because
she
did
not
want
to
go
move
back.
South
I
wanted
to
buy
a
summer
home
there
when
I
was
working
at
able
and
I
did
not.
M
For
that
reason,
I
wish
I
had
gone
on
and
did
it
here
in
Evanston
I've
lived
most
of
my
life
I
was
discriminated
against
as
a
young
single
mother,
raising
three
children
when
it
came
to
housing,
I
was
discriminated
against,
while
working
at
the
Evanston,
Police,
Department
and
I
did
about
a
claim
against
them.
During
that
time,
I
think
Owen
Thomas
was
in
human
relations
and
that
went
nowhere.
Also
I
was
discriminated
against
by
this
stuff
and
search
procedure
by
the
Evanston,
Police
and
I.
M
Think
that
was
in
the
70s
or
the
early
80s
and
guns
were
drawn
on
me.
The
reason
I
was
told
was
was
because
my
car
resembled
a
car
that
had
been
in
a
boat,
a
burglary.
Someone
had
committed
a
burglary
that
was
not
true.
I
went
to
The
Establishment
the
next
day
to
question
it
and
no
one
knew
of
such
thing.
M
Seemingly
it's
not
happening,
especially
for
our
black
males.
When
it
comes
to
law,
enforcement
and
I
will
say,
this
Evanston
has
had
some
problems,
but
we
do
have
one
of
the
best
law
enforcement
officers
that
there
are
I've
experienced
it
with
my
guys,
my
boys,
my
sons
and
other
male
members
in
my
family,
and
so
we
still
have
a
lot
of
improvement
to
do
with
the
Everson
Police
Department,
where
we
do
have
some
of
the
best
police
that
they
are
in
the
United
States.
Thank
you.
L
B
Thank
you
for
participating
in
this
process
for
years.
Miss
Greer
and
everyone
wants
to
know
that
these
testimonies
will
be
on
record
they'll,
be
in
our
minutes,
and
we
will
look
to
document
them
in
some
formal
way
in
the
future.
B
D
B
Close
it
out
and-
and
we
just
want
to
one-
let
everyone
know
that
this
will
be
available
at
every
meeting-
that
we
have
going
forward
on
this
committee
and
additionally,
we'll
talk
later
in
the
agenda
about
listening
sessions
that
will
allow
for
more
dialogue
to
the
to
Michelle.
If
you
could,
please
go
for
it
with
your
comment
or
testimony
first
of
all
good
morning.
I
I
You
know
having
to
leave
establishments
with
my
grandmother
owned
property
and
was
pushed
on
a
great
room,
I'm,
sorry,
but
out
of
those
things
so,
but
to
be
an
evanstonian
and
to
see
it
on
the
news
and
be
able
to
say
that
is
representing
me,
you
know,
and
I'm
I'm
proud
of
I've
been
proud
of
evidence
and
all
of
my
children
are
born
here.
Their
children
are
born
here
so
first.
I
My
first
thing
is
to
thank
you
to
Evanston
for
finally
putting
something
in
place
and
being
the
four
front
to
the
nation
to
say
that
this
needs
to
answer
to
African
Americans.
There
are
so
many
things
that
have
happened
us
if
you
look
at
Edison
alone.
If
you
look
at
certain
parts
of
Evanston,
you
can
see
where
certain
parts
are
kind
of
left
behind.
I
You
know
there's
no
flower
planter
in
certain
parts
of
Evanston,
but
they're
flower,
planters
and
beautification
and
other
parts
sentences
and
those
things
need
to
to
change,
to
change
the
mindset
and
to
change
the
part
of
a
hope,
I'm.
Sorry
of
those
people,
the
people
who
are
there
so
I
just
my
thing
is
thank
you.
This
really
thank
you
for
putting
us
together
and
I
hope
to
be
any
kind
of
help
that
you
need
on
the
ground
or
anything
that
you
need
me
to
do.
Just
keep
my
name
I'm
going
to
be
there.
B
Thank
you
so
much
for
sharing
I
know
that
it's
tough
just
reflecting
on
our
experience
and
the
experience
of
the
elders
in
our
family.
So
I
want
to
thank
you
for
sharing
that.
That's
what
brings
us
to
this
work
and
please
do
to
she
if
you
could
make
sure
that
you
go
ahead
and
add
Michelle
to
our
list
serve
if
she
isn't
at
it
already
for
updates,
and
we
will
keep
your
name
Michelle
for
volunteer
needs
and
Outreach
and
all
of
the
above.
So
thank
you
very
much.
Q
Yes,
hi,
my
name
is
Nick
Murphy,
12,
29th,
well,
Cutler,
Avenue
neighbor.
For
one
reason,
one
main
just
brass
tax
reason
to
keep
reparations
going
in
Evanston
would
be
the
fact
that
it's
an
entitlement.
Typically,
you
don't
let
entitlements
go
after
they
get
started.
You
just
keep
that
train
going
for
as
long
as
you
possibly
can
that's
the
general
rule
here
in
America,
so
why?
Why
stop
that
now?
Number.
C
Q
More
meta
to
all
of
us
is
that
we
started
reparations
here
in
Evanston.
We
we
owned
reparations.
It
started
here,
it's
our
baby,
I'm
very,
very
proud
of
that
as
an
Estonian
I
would
never
want
to
walk
away
from
that
I'm
very
proud
of
all
the
work
that
all
of
you
have
done.
I've
been
tracking
along
for
years
now,
and
that's
that's
got
to
be
our
thing.
That's
got
to
be
our
thing.
There
needs
to
be
at
every
entrance
into
town,
saying
First,
Step,
first
to
reparations.
R
C
Then
you.
Q
Know
number
three:
it's
not
perfect.
We
got
a
lot
of
work
to
do
within
the
system.
I
can
think
of
a
number
of
things
that
failures,
if
you
will,
but
there's
still
plenty
of
time
to
fix
those.
So
let's
just
keep
the
wheels
turning.
You
know
let
the
good
times
roll
as
far
as
reparations
are
concerned.
I'm,
all
about
that.
B
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
I
couldn't
agree
more
with
everything
that
you
said
we
actually,
since
some
of
the
comments
were
were
short.
Is
there
one
last
in
person?
If
not,
then
we'll
move
on
to
the
next
agenda
item.
B
Thank
you
all
and
please
do
know
that
we're
inviting
everyone
to
share
their
testimonials
continuing
to
inform
this
committee's
work.
But
in
addition
to
that,
we
hope
that
the
other
institutions
in
town
and
leaders
in
town
are
paying
attention
to
this
process
and
hearing
so
that
other
institutions
are
beginning
to
do
their
vulnerable
as
well.
It
is
not
intended
for
the
City
of
Evanston
to
do
this
work
alone.
It
is
not
only
the
city
of
Evans,
it
is
harmed
black
Evanston.
P
Moved
for
the
approval
of
December
1st
2022
reparations
committee
meeting
minutes
hi
seconds.
D
F
B
B
D
B
Okay,
that
the
motion
passes
as
well.
We
have
a
few
items
for
discussion.
5A,
we
have
approval
of
the
reparations
committee
committee's
time
committee
meeting
time.
We.
B
That
survey
came
back
with
kind
of
all
over
the
place,
but
we
do
have
some
limitations
with
our
particularly
our
council.
Members
already
have
a
very
packed
evening
meeting
commitments,
and
so
it
looks
like
if
I'm
not
mistaken,
we
are
either
staying
at
nine
or
moving
to
ten
to
see.
Can
you
tell
me
where
we
landed
on
that
and
then
we'll
need
to
discuss
that
and
settle
on
the
time
so
that
we
can
get
our
calendar
out
for.
B
It's
been
properly
moved
and
seconded.
Is
there
any
further
discussion
on
that?
Yes,
and
one
thing
that
I
will
say
just
so
that
everyone
knows
in
terms
of
accessibility,
is
we
will
remain
hybrid
on
this
until
further
notice
so
that
it
allows
more
flexibility,
guarantee
a
forum
and,
more
importantly,
more
Community,
Access
and
engagement
foreign.
P
Thank
you,
councilmember
Harris
here
and
I
just
wanted
to
acknowledge
that
we
clearly
see
what
the
desire
of
the
community
was,
but
that
we
have
to
make
a
hard-line
decision
for
the
people
who
sit
and
make
these
decisions
and
our
availability,
but,
as
all
the
person
Simmons
has
said,
is
we
are
accessible.
We
are
available,
there's
only
so
many
hours
in
a
day,
so
many
meetings
that
we
can
attend
and
we
want
the
best
representation
of
this
committee
to
be
able
to
effectively
do
the
work.
P
B
Thank
you
so
much
councilwoman
Harris.
If
there's
no
further
discussion,
we
can
I
think
we
actually
have
a
motion
and
a
second
so
to
speak.
If
you
want
to
take
the
role
on
that
Committee.
B
Hi,
okay,
that
motion
passes
we'll
get
that
out
to
our
list
serve,
and
next
we
have
item
5B
and
I'll,
give
some
background
on
why
this
is
on
the
agenda.
We
have
not
dispersed
anymore
than
our
first
16.
and
that's
huge
that
we've
done
that.
It's
huge
that
we
have
set
aside
an
agenda.
We've
found
a
a
funding
stream.
G
B
C

D
S
Hello,
everybody
Audrey
Thompson,
director
of
parks
and
rec.
So
for
that
meeting
we
did
discuss
their
ability
to
do
16
to
20,
but
to
also
kind
of
gradually
have
those
individuals
to
be
assigned
to
P
to
sipa.
I
do
want
to
bring
up
one
thing
that
we
discussed
in
that
meeting,
because
we
have
so
many
ancestors
that
are
who
are
left
on
the
list.
We'd
like
to
pursue
really
going
through
the
entire
list
to
find
out
what
those
individuals
would
prefer.
S
So
if
they
are
desirous
of
their
mortgages
being
paid,
then
that's
easier,
and
so
you
know
why
why
make
them?
Wait
if
that's
the
only
thing
that
they
need,
so
if
they
they
are
wanting
to
use
their
entire
25
000.
For
that,
then
that's
a
benefit
that
we
can
go
ahead
and
proceed
with,
rather
than
the
longer
option,
which
is
the
construction.
N
First
I
want
to
commend
you
Audrey,
but
I
have
a
very,
very
serious
concern.
We
have
two
individuals
that
have
been
placed
in
the
category
of
ancestors
who
do
not
own
property
through
no
fault
of
their
own.
Whoever
the
city
person
was
who
filled
out
their
application
made
a
mistake.
I,
don't
think
that
we
should
punish
them
for
what
they
did
in
good
faith,
to
abide
by
the
process
and
now
be
told
first,
there's
a
limitation.
If
they
don't
accept
it,
it
will
not
be
distributed
to
them,
but.
N
I
want
to
thank
you
for
the
kinds
of
options
that
you've
given
and
me
as
a
Committee
Member,
whatever
option
that
you
have
given
them
that
they
approved
I
approved
so
I.
Thank
you
for
that.
So,
let's
move
on
with
that.
I've
never
been
in
favor
of
this
organization.
That's
distributed
and
I
want
that
on
the
record
dilatory
practices.
Procrastination
brought
me
a
brief
concern
with
the
number
of
people
who
went
through
the
process
in
good
faith,
and
here
were
years
into
this
process,
and
we've
only
distributed
it
to
about
10
people.
I.
E
Thanks
for
recognizing
me,
I
have
two
confidence.
First,
relating
to
the
possibility
of
extending
cephas
contract
and
I
understand
that
logistically
and
with
time
constraints,
it
may
be
desirable
because
you
know:
we've
come
that
fall
with
Siva.
Notwithstanding
that
convenience
I
want
to
voice
a
concern
that
I
believe
when
the
statistics
came
out.
Sipa
the
there
was
a
very
I,
don't
know
I'm
trying
to
I'm
struggling
for
the
adjective
the
con
when
When
contractors
were
required
by
the
recipient's
needs,
according
to
the
recipient's
needs
for
housing,
I.
E
I
didn't
see
enough,
African-American
contractors
being
used,
I,
don't
know
what
attempts
were
made.
I
don't
know
if
we
could
go
forward
logistically
with
amending
that
and
having
that
conversation
and
requiring
some
attempts
to
be
made,
the
distribution
amount.
You
know,
as
we
said,
is
not
it's
not
restitution,
but
it
would
be
wonderful
if
some
of
the
benefits
could
Ripple
through
extend
out
through
the
black
community.
So
we
have
well
qualified
contractors
here
and
it
would
be
wonderful
to
see
them
being
used
or
at
least
contacted,
or
you
know,
for
the
for
these
projects.
E
I
didn't
see
that
happening
with
sipa
I,
don't
know
what
conversations
were
had
or
they
reached
out.
I
I
I,
don't
I'm
not
privy
to
that.
But
I
would
like
to
just
Express
that
concern
and
to
see
what
we
could
do
about
it.
I'm,
not
sure
if
the
agreement
with
them,
if
we,
if
it
needs
to
be
extended
for
expedience
sake,
could
be
amended
so
that
we
could
address
that
and
have
that
addressed
more
formally
and
have
that
information
come
to
us.
So
that's
an
inquiry
that
I
would
direct
to
sequel.
So.
D
I
could
provide
some
so
Audrey
and
I
when
we
met
with
Rob
Anthony
and
FIFA
and
I
see
Rob's
hand
has
raised.
We
raise
this
issue
with
them
and
we
agreed
to
do
a
contractor
event
in
Evanston
before
the
process
starts
to
get
those
black
contractors
involved.
E
B
Thank
you,
I'm,
going
to
add
something
before
Rob
speaks.
I
couldn't
agree
more
with
either
of
my
colleagues
on
the
committee
and
that's
why
we
didn't
initially
continue
and
that's
why
it
would
be
a
very
limited
and
conditional
step
forward.
We
have
had
conversations
expressed
our
intentions
for
this
commitment
that
there
be
a
value
that
kind
of
Economic
Opportunity
for
black
contractors.
B
I
believe
that
has
is
well
understood
and
so
I
just
want
I
want
to
make
that
point
that
also
this
is
I
believe
we
have
some
urgency
to
begin
getting
dollars
out.
So
we
can
hear
from
tashiq
on
what
the
process
will
look
like
for
an
alternative
which
I
think
we
have
more
interest
on
the
committee
for
an
internal
contracted
or
a
staff
person
that
is
taking
Direction
directly
from
the
committee.
B
But
this
would
be
a
temporary
option
and
a
way
for
sipa
to
you
know
actually
engage
more
so
with
black
contractors
than
they
have
in
the
past,
and
we
would
have
more
oversight
on
making
sure
that
there
is
compliance
with
our
intentions
of
a
value.
Add
so
Rob
if
you
want
to.
If
you
want
to
speak
to
that.
T
Sure
I
can
just
set
up
a
little
bit
later
a
couple
of
comments.
So
in
terms
of
the
timing,
there
was
a
comment
about
a
slow
process
or
stalling
and
I'm,
not
sure
if
that
was
related
to
sipa
or
whether
that
was
that
the
process
overall,
but
just
for
the
records
of
sifa,
got
involved
with
this
process
about
one
year
ago
we
were
given
14
clients
to
work
with,
and
12
of
those
14
wanted,
simple
managed
rehab.
The
other
two
were
requesting
Mortgage
Assistance.
T
Only
so
that's
that's,
14
reparations
recipients
that
were
referred
to
us,
the
two
that
won
in
their
mortgage
assistance.
Those
were
paid
out
very
quickly,
the
other
12.
All
of
those
have
been
done.
The
rehab
have
been
done
over
the
past
year,
with
the
exception
of
two
one,
that's
finishing
up
this
month
and
another
the
last
one.
That's
needs
some
exterior
drain
tile
work,
and
so
it's
difficult
to
do
that
in
this
weather
and
that
we
wrapped
up
in
March,
so
those
those
projects
moved
along
very
quickly.
T
We
were
given
14
projects
to
do
and
if
we
got
those
all
done
very
quickly
in
terms
of
the
minority
contractors,
I
I
think
Robin
has
even
recognized
in
the
past
that
we've
had
a
long
history
of
reaching
out
to
minority
contractors.
We've
worked
a
lot
with
the
minority,
business,
Consortium
and
other
groups
in
terms
of
the
reparations
program.
When
we
got
started
a
year
ago,
contractor
situation
was
extremely
difficult.
T
T
We,
so
you
know
we
continue
to
work
with
as
many
and
recruit
as
many
black
contractors
as
we
can
and
it's
something
that
I
brought
up
with
fishy
and
Audrey
when
we
spoke
the
other
day,
I
think
a
different
type
of
outrage
that
we
could
do
some
kind
of
joint
minority
contractor
recruiting
events
with
the
city.
I
think
that
would
be
very
helpful
and-
and
we
would,
you
know,
be
very
appreciative
of
doing
that
with
the
city.
B
So
I'll
speak
I'll
respond.
I
will
say
that
understanding
the
process
of
residential
construction
I
would
say
that
it
was
expeditious
process
and
rolled
out
again.
Those
that
had
the
mortgage
payments
was
extremely
quick.
I
know
that
councilmember
burns
have
been
working
with
a
group
of
contractors
and
maybe
there's
some
opportunity
there.
U
Yesterday,
I
just
wanted
to
jump
in
and
say
we
will
invite
if
he
decides
to
move
forward.
The
committee
decides
to
move
forward.
U
We
will
invite
you
know
Rob
and
sepa
to
the
next
nweb
committee
meeting,
where
one
of
our
working
groups
is
working
diligently
or
creating
events
and
and
as
in
particular,
creating
event
to
organize,
identify
and
organize
black
contractors.
So
we're
prepared
to
partner
with
siba
or
whichever
group
you.
R
T
Thank
you
guys,
I
I
would
I
would
also
add
that
flash
last
year
that
the
direction
of
the
committee
was
that
they
really
wanted
to
get
these
dollars
out
at
expended
very
quickly
and
there
was
an
urgency
to
get
the
construction
work
started,
and
so
you
know
I
think
we
we
could
have
slowed
that
process
and
you
know
done
more
attempted
to
do
more
recruiting,
although
again
at
that
time
it
was
very
difficult
to
get
any
contractors,
but
the
defense
from
the
committee
at
that
time
too,
was
it
really
wanted
to
get
this
rolling
and
get
their
construction
started,
and
so
we
we
went
with
contractors
that
were
responding.
B
To
see
if
there
is
a
path
forward
on
how
many,
how
many
of
the
recipients,
what
would
the
limitations
be
or
whatever?
What
is
the
discussion
here
in
terms
of
the
terms
of
the
agreement
to
move
forward
temporarily.
S
S
We
would
look
to
contact
all
so
that
if
there
are
individuals
who
only
want
mortgage
payments,
then
that's
something
that
we
can
roll
out
ASAP
to
cepa,
which
we're
hoping
will
reduce
the
number
and
and
in
all
fairness
I
would
also
like
to
be
transparent
about
what
that
process
might
look
like
and
what
other
challenges
we
may
have
or
face
because
of
going
through
the
entire
list.
So
if
we
go
through
the
entire
list,
we
know
that
of
the
over
100
that
we
have
left
there
are.
S
S
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
thinking
about
that
and
that
we
really
have
to
be
very
open
and
honest
number
two-
is
that
if
we're
saying
that
number
80
will
be
up
will
have
all
of
their
payments
on
their
mortgage,
we
also
don't
want
it
to
appear
that
we
are
pushing
people
in
that
direction,
because
the
other
options
take
longer.
S
But
if
we're
looking
to
get
payments
out
in
order
to
you
know,
because
I
I
am
saddened
to
look
at
the
list
and
know
that
there
are
individuals
on
the
list
who
are
not
here
anymore,
so
I,
just
so
I
just
want
to
put
everything
on
the
table.
So
we
can,
you
know,
make
a
so
you
all
can
make
a
decision
based
on
just
some
of
the
things
that
we
thought
about.
S
B
B
So
with
that
I
I
don't
see
how
we
would
even
discuss
skipping
the
line
or
any
any
anything
of
that
order.
Council,
member
I'm,
sorry
Committee,
Member
McFarland
did
you
have
something
else
to
add.
G
E
It's
not
I,
totally
agree,
I
think
it
would
cause
us
some
legal
problems.
We've
already
announced
and
people
know
their
order
and
understanding
the
desire
to
be
expedient,
but
I've
gotten
calls
about
other
other
issues.
With
the
order
would
we
reconsider
you
know
by
age
order,
because
some
people
are
nearing
or
passing
their
100th
birthday.
You
know
they're
and,
and
that's
that's
a
valid
concern
or
some
people
have
expressing
health
concerns
or
want
to
receive
before
you
know,
while
they're
here
with
us
on
Earth.
E
These
are
all
pressing
concerns,
so
I
I
just
don't
think.
Legally,
once
it's
been
announced
exactly
what
you
said
has
been
announced,
people
are
aware
of
their
place
on
the
list.
I
think
there
would
be,
we've
been
inviting
problems
and
perhaps
litigation
if
we
started
switching
that
up.
It
may
inform
us
for
future
programs,
but
this
this
has
been
announced
and
I
think
the
things
that
have
been
you
know,
announced
and
put
in
place
and
are
out
rolling
to
the
public.
E
We
have
to
kind
of
slaw
through
and
perhaps
be
mindful
with
our
other.
We
have
our
Economic
Development
our
education
piece.
These
other
pieces
that
are
coming
out
be
mindful
of
some
of
the
things
we've
learned
in
this
process.
A
I
just
see
that
we
have
you
know
a
couple
of
issues
before
us
and
I
I
want
us
to
really
focus
on.
You
know
what
we're
discussing
I
mean.
First,
we
need
to
talk
about
the
timeline
that
we're
going
to
extend
the
contract.
D
Yeah
committee
members,
that.
N
About
those
members
who
are
already
deceased,
what
process
I
don't
believe
in
exposed
Factor
laws,
but
I
do
believe.
There's
been
a
considerable
burden
placed
upon
people
who
should
be
either
descendants
or
should
receive
the
benefits
of
their
deceased
person.
I
want
to
know,
if
legal,
to
give
me
an
opinion
of
why
we
can't
put
these
into
unclaimed
funds
and
through
the
Illinois
treasurer
and
let
the
families,
rather
than
have
us,
go
back
to
court.
N
Go
through
wheels,
go
through
all
of
this
probate
procedure,
which
I
think
is
an
additional
expense
to
people
they
should
not
incur
and
I'm
not
opposed
to
the
lottery
system.
Okay,
we
decided
on
that.
That's
the
one
we're
going
to
have
to
to
stick
with,
but
I
think
at
this
time
we
could
probably
make
some
amendments
due
to
age
considerations,
Health
considerations
that
were
not
really
pushing
anyone
up,
but
the
expediency
of
their
current
condition
and
our
lack
of
procrastination
to
get
this
through.
V
Okay,
I
will
marry
Johnson
assistant,
City
attorney.
I
will
try
to
answer
those
kind
of
in
the
order
that
you
presented
them
in
regards
to
making
the
money
unclaimed
funds
I
would
have
to
check
into
that
to
see
kind
of
what
the
ramifications
are
primarily
because
once
that
money,
you
know,
leaves
us,
then
a
different
organization
gets
to
decide
kind
of
How.
It's
dispersed.
C
E
B
Asked
can
we
talk
there
on
that
question,
just
for
a
little
clarity
when
we
made
the
the
option
for
the
descendants
to
designate
a
recipient,
I'm,
not
sure
Claire
helped
me
with
the
language
of.
B
B
Yeah
right
when
we,
when
we
did
that,
did
that
not
take
that
burden
away
from
us
and
take
it
to
whatever
sort
of
probate
or
estate
process.
There
is
so
I
think
Mr
Sutton
is
it's
right
to
be
concerned
about
burdens
and
extra
fees
and
costs,
but
it
was
my
understanding
that
it
would
go
to
a
Judicial,
a
legal
process,
some
type
of
estate
or
probate,
and
that
would
be
managed
independent
of
the
city.
V
So
that
is
correct
for
forms
that
have
been
signed
and
submitted.
But
I
may
be
misunderstanding.
Your
question:
are
you
referring
to
people
who
have
already
passed?
Who
did
not
have
the
opportunity
to
sign.
N
Up
that's
right
when
they
were
approved
for
the
distribution.
There
was
no
requirement
by
our
committee
to
identify
descendants
and
and
recipients.
V
Right
so
that
would
mean
there's
two
different
pools
that
people
were
talking
about.
We
are
talking
about
one
people,
who've
already
passed
and
did
not
have
the
benefit
of
being
able
to
designate
their
beneficiaries,
and
then
two
people
who
were
who
have
been
able
to
to
designate
their
beneficiaries
so
as
far
as
it
relates
to
the
form
that
was
signed
and
submitted
by
recipients.
Yes,
that
will
take
care
of
all
of
those
legal
property
questions
that
may
arise
on
the
events
of
their
passing.
V
In
regards
to
making
amendments
to
the
program
for
potential
health
concerns
old
age,
Etc
I
think
that
if
there
is
a
legitimate
public
interest,
there's
a
possibility
to
do
something
like
that.
I,
of
course,
would
like
to
do
some
research
to
just
kind
of
ensure
that
it's,
you
know
a
wise
option.
If
you
choose
to
do
that
option,
what
would
be
the
best
way
to
proceed
with
making
an
amendment
and
the
wording
of
that
Amendment?
So
I
would
like
some
time
to
answer
that
question
more
thoroughly
did
I
miss
any
of
your
questions.
B
So
if
I'm
hearing,
you
say
and
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
two
to
three
rehabs
but
say,
for
example,
in
the
first
10
three
of
them
want
to
pay
down
their
mortgage.
Is
that
two
or
three
applications
period
or
is
it
two
to
three
rehabs
and
say
as
many
mortgage
payments
as
possible
since
that's
a
pretty
easy
transaction
correct.
S
B
B
So
so
we're
a
couple
months
out
and
if
we
move
forward-
and
this
is
where
the
committee
to
discuss-
if
we
move
forward
with
FIFA
for
two
to
three
per
month,
would
we
like
to
do
that
with
council
member
Burns,
taking
our
ownership
on
getting
FIFA
connected
to
our
black
contractors
and
collaborating
with
them
more
on
making
sure
that
the
value
add
is
there
or
Economic
Opportunity
and
limiting
back
to
maybe
a
three-month
agreement
with
folks
that
we
decide
on
a
more
permanent
solution.
B
T
Yeah
I
just
want
to
clarify
that,
from
with
the
capacity
that
we
have
right
now
and
that
the
programs
and
projects
that
we
have
going
on,
we
could,
as
Audrey
said,
we
could
take
a
number
of
mortgage
payments
or
mortgage
assistance
files
that
that
would
not
be
a
problem
for
us.
But
on
the
rehab
side
we
could
really
only
take
on
literally
start
about
One
Rehab
per
month,
not
two
to
three.
T
And
then
the
other
piece
that
I
talked
about
with
Audrey
and
tashiq
is
that
you
know
we've
We've
donated
all
of
our
services.
Up
to
this
point
between
January
last
year
and
through
November
last
year,
is
about
thirty
thousand
dollars
by
the
time
that
we're
done
with
this,
it's
probably
going
to
be
closer
to
fifty
thousand
dollars
of
intent,
services
that
were
contributed.
T
We
also,
we
are
very
supportive
of
the
reparations
program
and
want
to
help
in
any
way
that
we
can,
but
we
we
can't
continue
to
make
that
kind
of
contribution,
so
we'd
have
to
find
some
kind
of
funding
source
to
help
cover
some
of
our
costs
and
administering
that
construction
piece
that
the
mortgage
pieces
is
I'm
not
concerned
about
that.
That's
there's
not
a
lot
of
time
involved
in
that,
but
the
construction
management
is
very,
very
time
consuming
and
they
have
construction
managers
that
we
need
to
pay.
A
C
T
Their
workloads
are
very
busy.
There
are
a
lot
of
construction
projects
that
we
did
not
get
to
last
year
because
we
had
these
12
reparations
projects
that
we
were
doing,
and
so
we
we
don't
have
the
capacity
with
three
staff
to
manage
the
other
construction
work
that
we're
doing
and
and
take
on.
You
know
two
to
three
new
projects
per
month.
U
I
was
gonna,
say
just
that:
a
little
bit
more
detail
and
Rob
directly
with
our
office.
Google
manages
edmondson's
cdbg
rehab
loan
program
as
well
as
I
I,
believe
it
manages
other
cities
CBC.
We
have
the
loan
programs
as
well
and
and
I
I
think
that's
part
of
why
looked
at
going
out
with
you
know.
G
U
Out
another
RFQ,
which
I
don't
think
is
on
today's
agenda.
For
for
why
you
know
we
put
that
RFP
out
into
DC
and
and
open
communities
and
EDC,
responded
and
I.
Think
it's
why
we're
going
to
be
talking
about
hiring
or
potentially
two
additional
people
to
work
on
this,
but
it's
as
Rob
said,
as
we
all
know,
but
you
know
been
a
part
of
construction
projects
to
renovated
homes
or
whatever
it
is.
It's
just
very
time
consuming
and
I.
U
I
think
I
I
appreciate
that
Siva
has
has
worked
with
us
this
far,
but
I
fell
for
the
beginning
that
we
really
need
to
identify
four-time
Faith.
You
know
staff
of
some
sort
to
work
on
these
projects.
This
is
a
big
big.
This
is
a
big
project
that
we
really
and
we'll
talk
about
this
later
on
the
call,
but
if
you
have
the
money
that
you
know
to
really
support,
you
know
I
would
say
the
remaining
number
of
our
ancestors.
U
B
Thank
you.
So,
let's,
let's
come
to
a
close
on
this,
we
have
some
decisions
to
make.
We
I
think
we
all
agree
that
this
work
is
so
important
that
it
should
be
a
dedicated
person
or-
or
that
is
doing
this
work
as
an
administrator
we're
going
to
discuss
that
later.
But
right
now
we
have
worked
really
hard
to
get
additional
funds
worked
really
creatively.
C
B
Of
our
ancestors
this
year,
this
quarter,
or
even
so
we
need
to
make
a
decision.
Do
we
want
to
have
a
temporary
option
as
deeper
continuing
as
an
administrator
they've
done
a
a
fine
job,
they
struggle
with
getting
black
contractors.
We
can
do
more
to
support
them
and
make
sure
that
happens,
or
do
we
want
to
just
continue
on
pause
and
wait
until
we
come
up
with
a
more
long-term
solution.
B
We
do
have
that
other
other
response
from
our
rfu
from
the
three
org
collaboration,
we're
going
to
talk
about
some
other
things.
Let's
just
get
emotion
at
this
point
on.
If
we
want
to
move
forward
I'm
hearing
that
FIFA
has
a
capacity
to
do
one
rehab
a
month,
sort
of
unlimited
capacity
to
do
mortgage
payments,
and
the
same
would
be
the
case
for
those
that
are
looking
to.
C
B
Their
benefit
to
look
to
purchase
a
property
or
do
we
want
to
move
just
just
pause
completely
and
continue
to
work
through
the
process
to
identify
a
long-term
Solution.
That's
going
to
include
finding
the
funds
to
do
so,
because
we've
also
made
a
decision
as
this
committee,
which
I
completely
support
and
probably
made
the
motion
board
that
we
don't
use
our
reparation,
Revenue
to
fund
administrators
and
other
organizations
and
Partnerships
and
so
on.
B
But
I
also
feel
very
confident
that
there
is
enough
interest
and
commitment
in
this
work
in
this
community
and
Beyond
this
community
from
foundations
and
other
partners
that
we
and
even
the
city
council
that
we
can
find
a
way
to
fund
a
paid,
dedicated
staff
or
organization.
So
if
we
can
move
the
conversation
in
that
direction,
that
would
be
great.
N
I
am
opposed
to
extending
this
contract
of
any
length
of
time,
as
I
said
before.
If
it's.
N
And
now
they're
saying
that
we've
been
come
them
that
they
need
fifty
thousand
dollars
that
they
have
lost
at
this
time.
I
think
it
would
be
more
appropriate
if
we
could
get
the
city
manager's
office
to
get
a
job
description
for
a
contract
manager
and
put
that
fifty
thousand
dollars
in
hiring
a
person
to
implement
our
program.
N
As
I
said
earlier.
It
just
seems
to
me
that
I've
been
accused
of
being
guilty
of
procrastinating
on
this
committee
for
recipients
and
I.
Don't
know
how
many
of
you
on
this
committee
get
those
phone
calls
and
people
knocking
on
your
doors,
but
I've
got
quite
a
few
and
more
concerned
that
I
don't
have
answers
for
them
about
the
time
of
distribution
or
the
process.
A
I,
just
yeah
I,
just
you
know,
you
know
with
all
due
respect:
Mr
Sutton
I'm
really
for
us
moving
forward
and
I.
Think
having
an
established
CPA
established
is
a
benefit
to
us
to
be
able
to
move
forward,
and
while
they
have
acknowledged
there
have
been
issues
and
we
see
those
going
forward
for
a
short
period
of
time.
Until
we
can
establish
another
process,
I
think
would
be
helpful
because
then
we
would
move
forward
and
we
would
be
able
to
help
our
ancestors.
A
You
know
in
this
short
time
so
I'm
actually
for
extending
the
contract
for
three
months
to
keep
the
process
moving
forward.
Promotion,
okay,.
B
E
I
just
had
a
quick
question
for
the
council
members.
What
with
the
time-
and
this
relates
to
my
thinking
about
the
time
for
the
extension,
what
is
the
time
frame?
What
is
the
typical
time
frame
we're
getting
a
new
city
employee,
approved
and
then
you
know,
accepting
the
applications
and
vetting
those
and
making
selection?
What
what
is
that
typical
time
frame?
Can
somebody
give
me
is
90
days
sufficient
I'm.
B
First
of
all,
we
do
have
for
a
discussion,
Mr
Sutton,
you
have
been
heard,
you
and
I
I
think
have
agreed
and
others
that
we
should
be
looking
internally
for
this
there's
been
successful
models
at
the
City
of
Evanston,
I'm
thinking
of
nsp2
and
Jolene
Saul,
and
that
role
as
someone
that
managed
that
project
and
so
that
we
have
to
she
has
put
together
a
job
description.
We
understand
now
what
the
budget
would
be
I'm
committed
to
working
hard
with
the
committee
to
fund
that.
B
So
that
is
something
that
is
in
the
immediate
next
steps
for
us,
Mr,
Sutton
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
Claire
we
have
that
we
can
post
it,
but
we
have
to
have
a
committed
funding
mechanism
for
the
job,
description
and
again,
I
think
there's
a
ton
of
support
out
there,
we're
always
receiving
Outreach
on
how
we
can
help.
We
have
Partners
in
the
community
and
there's
a
lot
of
interest
in
working
in
the
reparations
movement.
B
S
So
I
do
think
that
90
days
may
be
cutting
it
short
with
trying
to
you
know,
get
the
funding,
get
it
posted
and
because
we
are
I
mean,
as
as
most
of
you
all
know,
it's
just
difficult
hiring
period
as
someone
who
has
several
job
openings
in
my
department,
so
I
do
think
to
get
you
know
the
right
person
for
this
might
take
longer
than
90
days,
especially
if
you're
also
having
to
figure
out
what
the
foreign
funds
are
coming
from
to
fund
the
position.
P
P
We
have
to
stop,
but
if
we're
not
in
a
place
that
we
can
move
forward,
because
that's
the
commitment
we're
going
to
move
forward,
how
to
do
that
and
understanding
that
sometimes
you
take
two
steps
forward
and
one
back
and-
and
we
understand
that
with
this
process,
so
I
think
leaving
it
at
the
90
days
gives
us
the
opportunity,
even
though
the
work
force
is
shrinking
right
and
we
understand
that
too.
Baby
boomers
are
now
retiring.
So
it's
a
big
population,
it's
bigger
than
Evanston.
It's
an
issue
worldwide.
P
It
gives
us
time
to
be
able
to
negotiate
both
sides,
so
I
think.
If
we
start
there,
we
can
come
back
to
the
table
in
90
days.
Is
that
fair?
Would
you
like
that
I
was
still
opposing
that.
N
And
I
agree
with
him:
I've
been
trying
to
find
an
electrician
and
a
plumber
for
two
months
and
I
understand
with
the
covet.
There
is
a
shortage
of
people
to
make
these
kinds
of
of
work
and
I
I
go
along
with
that.
But
oh
how
long,
not
long,
how
long,
not
long
when
I
look
at
the
13th,
14th
and
15th
amendment
that
still
have
not
been
completely
afforded
to
us
I,
don't
see
extending
this
contract
another
second
but
I'm.
Only
one
vote.
M
B
B
Staff
have
some
other
ideas
on
how
that
can
happen,
with
support
from
the
city,
manager's
office
and
possibly
other
partners,
but
I
think
that
part
has
already
been
understood
and
with
CPA,
so
I'm
going
to
support
the
motion
and
I.
Think
at
this
point.
E
Committee
Member
Barber,
yes,
Committee,
Member
Lockhart,
yes,.
D
The
Committee
Member
said
no
Committee
Member
Harris,
yes,
councilmember
Burns,
Committee,
Member
sings
aye.
N
B
B
B
Okay,
do
we
have
council
member
Harris,
do
you
have
three
more
minutes
or.
B
You
so,
let's
pull
that
one
forward
providing
transparency
regarding
the
amount
in
the
reparations
fund.
So
we
we
hear
you
everyone
that
comes
to
public
comment
in
this
case,
Miss
Tita,
Payton
I,
know
that
I
have
heard
you
in.
How
can
we
mix
up
the
funds
now
that
we
have
a
few
different
Revenue
sources
and
have
more
transparency
in
the
amount
of
funds
and
I
have
put
that
challenge
before
our
cfo's
office
and
the
team
there?
That
can
respond
to
that.
B
If
you
could
mute
yourself,
Mr
Clayton
and
give
us
some
feedback
on
that
sure.
X
Can
you
hear
me?
Okay,
yes,
okay,
thanks
for
giving
me
the
opportunity
to
talk
this
morning,
so
does
she
ask
about
how
we
can
be
trained,
more
transparent
with
reporting?
X
So
you
know
with
the
new
real
estate
transfer
tax
I
think
that
we
can
be
very
transparent
on
a
month-to-month
basis,
how
much
money
we're
bringing
in
from
that
to.
She
can
report
back
out
to
the
committee
how
well
that
new
Revenue
source
is
doing
it,
that
money
is
immediately
accessible
and
ready
for
the
may
be
used
as
it
comes
in
same
for
donations.
Of
course,
as
we've
been
using
those
the
problem
does
come
into
play
when
we're
talking
about
cannabis
Revenue.
X
X
T
X
B
B
Okay
and
as
Corporation
Council
Cummings
mentioned
in
our
last
meeting,
you
can
go
back
and
see
the
Cannabis
Revenue
past
cannabis.
Revenue
was
it
back
three
months
or
he
gave
us
some
information
on
how
you
could
look
at
the
Cannabis
Revenue
that
was
coming
in?
We
just
couldn't
get
an
up-to-date
report.
T
X
Okay,
yes
yeah,
that's
that's
available.
I'd
have
to
get
with
Council
Council
Cummings
and
understand
that
exactly.
B
B
Okay,
so
so
maybe
is
there
any?
Is
there
any
discussion
if
there
is
there
any
discussion
on
that
yeah.
B
C
B
Think
I
saw
council
member
read,
make
an
announcement
that
we
might
have
another
dispensary
coming,
did
I
see
that
somewhere.
U
Yes,
on
Howard,
Street,
I
believe
and.
U
X
B
Either
way,
council
member
burns
your
point
as
well
taken,
we
've
really
never
even
projected
to
have
five
when
we
passed
this
in
2019.
So
with
that,
thank
you
Clayton
for
your
report.
Thank
you
for
sheep,
in
advance,
for
reporting
back
and
we'll
continue
to
figure
out
ways
to
address
transparency.
D
B
So
do
we
need
to
take
a
roll
call
vote
on
placing
this
on
foul,
though
yes,
okay,
and
that
so
I
moved
that
we
accept
and
have
replaced
and
placed
this
report
on.
D
Member
Lockhart
aye
Committee
Member
Sutton
aye
committee
council,
member
Harris,
council
member
Burns,
Committee
Member
students.
B
Aye
been
properly
moved
and
seconded
so
next
for
Action,
we
need
to
have
more
engagement
with
community.
So,
in
addition
to
the
testimonies,
we
want
to
have
quarterly
listening
sessions
where
we
hear
from
community
and
we
respond
it'll
be
a
dialogue,
that's
just
some
of
the
Chrissy,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
respond
to
that.
So
in
lieu
of
a
reparations
committee
meeting
a
regular
committee
meeting,
we
will
have
a
listening
session,
starting
did
I,
say
next
month
to
see
correct,
March,
okay,
so
so
this
is.
O
B
Motion
that
we
have
quarterly
listening
sessions
in
the
blue
of
our
committee
agenda
and
we
hear
from
Community,
we
continue
to
be
informed.
We
respond
to
them
in
those
meetings
so
that
there
is
more
dialogue
before
we
vote
on
that,
I
wanted
to
say.
Additionally,
I've
asked
Toshiba
to
get
some
collateral
for
us
to
be
more
in
community
when
there's
community
events.
B
Tabling
with
you
know
a
tablecloth
and
information,
and
you
know
one
pagers
and
available
to
answer.
Questions
and
I
would
like
for
us
to
start
that
pretty
immediately
I
asked
if
she
to
get
us
a
City
of
Evanston
calendar
so
that
we
know
of
events
and
I'm
asking
the
community
to
reach
out
to
the
reparations
committee,
contact
the
sheep
and
invite
us
to
your
events
and
we'd
be
happy
to
be
there
for
tabling
or
announcements.
If
you
want
an
announcement
at
your
church
or
your
event,
we
can
give
brief
updates.
B
U
Yeah
I
just
did
what
I
wanted
to
invite
tashiko
or
whatever
staff
person
is,
will
will
kind
of
handle
the
Outreach
on
March
18th
we're
organizing
a
Mobile
DMV
event:
it's
in
your
resource,
fair
market.
If
we
would
and
a
lot
of
organizations
would
have
tables
and
I
think
it
would
be
great
to
have
the
the
you
know,
someone
there
to
talk
about
the
reparations
work.
B
D
I
admitted

son
aye

councilmember

The
last
two
years,
the
real
estate
market
has
been
really
really
hot
and
there's
been
a
lot
of
residential
and
Commercial
properties,
and
so
those
taxes
have
both
been
very,
very
high.
The
last
couple
years,
ranging
between
5
billion
and
6
million
total.
We
expect
that
market
to
cool
off
a
little
bit.
It's
been
an
exceptionally
hot
real
estate
market,
with
inflation
as
well,
but
basically
with
those
two
ordinances,
the
city
council
passed.
X
X
C
B
Okay,
thank
you
for
the
update,
and
next
we
have
oh
for
consideration.
So
these
are
the
job
descriptions
that
will
be
needed
to
be
administrators
of
our
preparations.
This
addiction
show
restorative
housing
benefit
and
you
have
them
there
for
your
consideration.
If
there's
any
discussion
on
it,
we
can
have
that
now.
I
think
this
is
really
the
work
needs
to
happen
on
how
do
we
fund
it
and
when
is
it
posted
and
that
you
don't
put
that,
but
the
commitment
of
funding
and
I'll
be
working
on
identifying
fund,
fun,
funding
and
council
members.
B
B
D
So
your
last
reparations
meeting
interviewing
the
comments.
You
all
asked
Bob
to
look
at
providing
text
notifications
to
those
who
signed
up
to
receive
notifications
on
reparations.
So
we
are,
we
can
do
that
and
we
have
enabled
our
software
to
do
that.
Residents
will
just
need
to
sign
up
to
receive
those
tax
notifications.
C
D
M
B
Reed
for
lifting
up
he's
been
doing
that
already
in
a
former
role
as
a
clerk
moving
on
to
for
communication,
we
have
8A
and
I
don't
know.
Did
we
get
someone
from
the
rsae
or
the
Interfaith
Community
to
give
a
report
I.
B
V
K
Good
morning,
everyone
thank
you.
I'll
have
a
short
report,
because
what
I
plan
on
doing
is
having
a
much
longer
report
for
next
meeting
in
March,
but
I
have
to
give
a
quick
summary
of
some
things
that
have
been
happening
through
the
reparation
stakeholder
authority
of
Evanston.
We've
had
a
little
brief
pause
later
part
of
2022
in
our
meetings,
but
we
are
starting
we're
restarting
our
meetings.
This
study
was
the
February.
K
We
are
still
working
on
a
website
to
get
more
visibility
in
the
community
solutions
that
are
understanding
of
what
the
RSA
in
RSA
is
a
function.
Call
it
how
it
I
guess
shares
the
same
Synergy
with
the
city's
preparation
initiative,
but
also
some
really
good
reviews.
Past
MLK
days
of
celebration.
K
After
a
Time
vote,
there
was
a
convening
of
multiple
Faith
Banks
congregations
who,
last
year
on
each
level
for
the
last
year,
Eastern
2022
will,
for
the
remainder
of
the
Year,
raise
money
toward
reparations,
work
and
we'll
end
that
process
on
MLK
day,
with
an
announcement
of
their
money's
raise
now
I
do
apologize.
I
don't
have
the
exact
number
right
now
in
front
of
me.
K
I
had
a
look
on
the
website
at
the
business
Community
Foundation
to
see
that
was
available
yet,
but
it's
going
to
report
about
a
month
behind
schedule,
so
I'll
have
that
that
money's
announced
you
know
accurately,
but
it's
somewhere
around
the
fundraising
and
all
the
15
plus
congregations
who
presented
their
totals
at
fake
temple
on
January
15th,
an
amount
of
over
800
000
dollars.
K
So
that
brings
the
RSA
team.
Well,
let's
say
that
was
completely
foundations,
reparations
fun,
pool
to
overall
1.3
million
dollars.
The
guy
here
with
rsae
is
to
help
facilitate
the
distributions
of
those
monies
when
we
reach
a
certain
goal
and
that
first
goal
has
been
met
so
this
year
we're
starting
to
strategize
how
we
will
facilitate
the
best
uses
of
those
90s
that
will
benefit
to
our
communities.
So
this
is
a
long-term
process.
K
The
important
thing
about
this
is
that
the
rsae
is
answering
a
concern
that
came
up
about
two
years
ago
about
the
limitations
of
the
city
funds
and
how
they're
distributed
houses,
the
processes
that
it
has
the
ability
and
the
five
knew,
was
to
have
a
different
pool
of
money
that
can
be
more
controlled
by
the
apartment,
community
and
direct
depending
the
team.
Without
the
the
impediments
that
of
funds
could
come
into
the
City
of
Evanston.
May
have
so
we
see
this
is
a
positive
thing.
K
B
B
There
was
a
very
special
Martin
Luther
King
Day
service
at
Faith,
Temple
Church
of
God
in
Christ,
where
there
was
Interfaith,
Community,
packed
house,
every
seat
was
full
and
there
was
a
community
screening
of
The
Big
Payback,
where
the
Interfaith
Community
hosted
all
of
Evanston
about
400
residents
were
in
attendance
and
made,
and
they
made
that
announcement.
I
think
I
saw
in
the
chat
it's
actually
842
thousand.
B
G
B
K
K
B
Okay,
can
you
hear
me
now,
yes,
I
said
I
want
to
just
lift
up
a
special
thank
you
to
Amy
Morton
and
the
entire
staff
at
the
Barn
restaurant.
It's
a
really
nice
steakhouse
in
Evanston,
it's
like
a
Hidden
Gem.
It
kind
of
feels
like
you're
doing
something
special.
You
got
to
go
through
an
alley
to
get
there,
but
anyway
you
get
there
and
it's
just
a
beautiful
dining
experience
and
Amy
and
her
team
at
the
barn
invited
and
hosted
some
of
our
seniors,
the
Foster
senior
club.
B
And
if
you
don't
know
about
the
Foster
senior
Club,
55
or
older
they're,
the
hottest
women
60
years
or
50
years,
they've
been
meeting,
but
they
were
able
to
meet
as
as
a
gift
from
Amy
Morton
and
the
staff
at
the
barn
and-
and
it
was
during
the
Martin
Luther
King
day
period,
and
they
had
a
very
special
meeting
and
some
time
together
and
I
just
want
to
thank
all
the
businesses
that
have
been
reaching
out
to
be
supportive
to
the
black
community,
particularly
our
senior
community
that
have
experienced
direct
harm
in
Evanston
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
I
lifted
up
Amy.
B
So
if
you
need
date,
night,
girls,
night,
State,
Dinner
Amy,
just
sending
thanks
to
Amy
for
doing
that,
and
thank
you
to
the
Foster
senior
club
for
all
that
you
do
to
lead.
This
community
have
done
for
decades.
For
how
you
challenge
us
hold
us
accountable
at
your
meetings.
Thank
you
for
the
support
that
you
give
as
well
and
I
just
wanted
to
lift
that
up
and
with
that
we
just
have
to
Chic.
If
you
want
to
give
us
a
financial
donation
report,.
D
So,
as
of
February,
the
city
received
forty
two
thousand
dollars
and
931
Thirty
One
dollars
into
donations
to
the
recreation
is
gone.
B
D
B
D
M
C
O
You're
fine,
but
I
would
like
to
okay
go
ahead.
Yeah,
basically,
I
think.
O
Good
morning
and
thank
everyone,
especially
the
community
and
ladies
to
give
me
this
opportunity,
but
I,
think
my
questions.
It
I
didn't
realize
that
I
was
sudden,
be
put
a
little
spot
to
ask
the
question,
but
they
were
answered.
My
wife
just
recently
made
her
transition
in
life
and
she
had
encouraged
me
to
put
her
own
preparation.
O
Okay,
yeah,
so
I
think
I
understood
it
to
be
that
she's,
maybe
still
in
on
that
list.
Is
that
correct,
yeah
all
right
and
it's
only
122
people
remaining.
D
C
E
O
Okay,
but
thank
you
for
giving
me
an
opportunity.
Sorry,
yes,
ma'am.
D
Miss
Greer,
followed
by
with
Giles.
M
I
hope
that,
but
now
did
he
receive
the
form
that
before
she
passed
away.
M
That's
also
my
concern.
I
didn't
start
where
I
wanted
to
my
birthday
was
January.
The
29th
I
turned
74
years
old,
Audrey,
I,
hope
I,
don't
belong.
That
list,
look
like
that's
the
only
list
I'm
going
to
get
on
and
then
I
will
receive
Amazon
a
mausoleum
at
sunset
for
spoken
Memorial.
That's
where
it
sucking
like
there
was
nothing
and
put
two
or
three
expressed
from
start
seniors
that
don't
own
homes
here
in
Evanston
I
can't
pay
a
mortgage.
M
M
As
long
as
this
had
been
on
the
table
and
as
many
people
involved
that
it
was
where
it
was
and-
and
she
did
go
forth
with
it-
I
appreciate
her
doing
so,
but
I'm
hearing
all
these
Alternatives
and
things
that
are
saying
could
be
done
even
adding
five
more
people
to
the
16.
That
would
pick
we
did
a
lottery
so
that
people
would
be
picked
and
there
would
be
an
order.
C
M
Hudson
Priscilla
Giles
Carlos
Suttons
also
discuss
a
member
passing
in
the
family.
My
sons
are
day
and
night.
There's
no
way
there
too.
If
I
sign
that
poem,
how
is
how
are
they
going
to
benefit
the
two
of
them?
There's
no
money.
If
the
money's
not
involved,
they
can't
live
together.
I'll
say
that,
right
now,
if
one
owns
a
home,
it's
going
to
be
a
problem
for
the
other.
I
know
a
family.
Their
parent
is
on
that
list.
He's
older
he's
sick
right
now
there
are
seven
in
the
family
they
have
such
she's.
M
One
of
them
has
signed
the
ball.
What's
going
to
happen
with
that
with
seven,
there
are
going
to
be
a
lot
of
legal
problems
with
this.
If
things
haven't
changed,
there
are
a
lot
of
seniors.
I
will
speak
for
them.
I'm
in
the
senior
Club.
A
lot
of
them
have
sold
their
homes,
they
have
them
no
more.
So
how
are
they
going
to
compensate?
Also,
we
are
the
ones
that
have
really
really
been
discriminated
against,
my
generation
during
the
60s
we
it
started
even
if
that's
when
it
really
started.
M
So
there
are
a
lot
of
us
that
were
really
in
always
discriminated
against.
That
should
really
benefit
so
I
hope,
they're
going
forth.
The
City
attorney
Financial
people
I,
have
a
person,
I've
talked
to
a
financial
advisor
and
said
that
there
is
a
way
that
we
can
compensate
this
one.
It
has
to
be
considered
for
those
that
are
on
housing,
fixed
income,
people
that
are
getting
benefits
for
medical.
My
medicines,
four
thousand
a
month.
C
M
Am
discussing
if
I
get
cash,
how
can
I
benefit
and
without
being
hurt
financially
I
get
help
with
my
rent
I
get
help
with
my
medical
I
can't
pay
for
a
thousand
dollars
a
month,
so
I
hope
that
it
will
be
considered
that
there
could
be
a
cash
benefit
paid
and
that
it
could
be
done
like
the
stimulus
money
it
didn't
affect
us.
There
was
a
ways
that
that
government
set
that
up.
So
thank
you.
Okay,.
C
W
Afternoon,
good
morning,
everybody
good
morning,
hi,
my
name
is
Eva.
Holland
and
I
have
several
issues,
but
I'm
not
going
to
go
into
all
of
them,
but
the
one
I
was
kind
of
concerned
that
one
of
the
staff
mentioned
a
reference
to
whether
or
not
something
would
go
to
probate
or
just
have
an
attorney
look
into
the
situation
before
the
board
decided
before
the
board
decided
to
do.
W
We
really
couldn't
hear
back
there,
so
several
people
left
in
my
head
and
as
far
as
the
ancestories
I
think
that
personally,
is
that
I
think
that
it
should
not
even
be
a
committed
to
decide
what
I'm
saying
that's
one
community
I
mean
so
City
should
be
engaged
with
some
of
the
people
within
within
the
community
to
be
engaged
in
the
decision
to
be
made
as
far
as
the
ancestries
or
whether
or
not
they
would
be
rebate
or
you
have
to
get
somebody
from
you
to
be
the
beneficiary
I
think
in
a
sense,
it's
kind
of
ludicrous.
W
I
think
that
that
should
be
look
into
as
the
way
of
a
little
person
was
saying
in
several
other
on
some
stuff
or
things
that
are
going
on.
That
is
really
not
compliable,
even
with
the
reparation
of
what
preparation
really
is.
W
So,
therefore,
if
some
of
us
that
is
in
this
room,
go
and
request
what
preparation
would
be
me,
I
was
a
foreign
born,
but
I
was
raised
in
Evans
and
since
I
was
13..
So
Evanston
is
my
home,
because
I
really
didn't
know
that
many
people
where
I
was
born
in,
but
there
is
a
lot
of
other
people
within
the
community.
That
is
not
even
aware
of
how
reparation
is
supposed
to
be
functioning
so,
as
I
think.
W
W
B
W
B
If
you
please
do
join
us
next
month,
we're
going
to
have
more
time
for
dialogue,
okay,.
R
I
received
the
call
the
other
day
that
my
sister
and
I
would
be
taken
off
the
reparations.
R
Live
my
sister
was
number
eight
and
I
was
number
nine,
and
it
was
told
me
that
in
March
that
they
were
gone
like
we.
R
And
in
March
I
do
not
have
any
property,
my
sister
don't
have
any
property
and
we
were
able
to
live
and
I
come
here
this
morning
to
ask
the
committee
or
people
that's
in
charge
of
what
is
possible
that
you
can
do
if
you
can
make
some
changes
or
help
my
sister
and
I,
since
we
don't
have
no
property
and
to
be
able
to
to
get
something
out
of
the
reparations
before
we
are
eliminated
and
I
I
want
to
know.
R
If
you,
you
all,
have
have
made
any
kind
of
decision
on
to
I,
don't
have
any
property.
My
sisters
don't
have
any
problems.
R
If
you
made
any
provisions
that
could
help
my
sister
and
myself
out,
since
we
were
number
eight
and
number
nine
on
the
reparations
list
and
I
hope
you
could
come
up
with
some
kind
of
decision
to
that
will
help
my
sister
and
I
out,
since
we
don't
have
any
property
and
I
hope
that
you
can
come
up
with
something
or
any
kind
of
changes
of
provisions
that
will,
you
know,
help
both
of
us
out
and
if,
if
possible-
and
we
stay
on
the
lift,
I
hope
you
can
come
up
with
something
and
let
my
sister
and
I
know
if
you
came
up
with
something
that
will
help
us
out
because
we
don't
want
to
be
I
mean
everybody,
maybe
have
gotten
their
money
Maybe.
R
But
we
have
not
received
anything.
You
know,
since
we
don't
have
any
property
and
I
just
want.
You
know
some
kind
of
possibly
reparations
in
some
in
some
kind
of
form.
That
will
help
my
sister
and
I
out
and
I
hope.
You
can
do
that.
Thank.
M
D
Or
Henry.
Y
I
had
sent
a
note
drawing.
N
Desire
because
of
the
the
time
frame,
Miss.
D
H
Yes,
okay
I
hope
this
gets
recorded,
as
my
last
comments
were
partially
deleted.
Thank
you,
chair,
Ruth
Simmons,
for
trying
to
answer
my
questions
and
concerns.
I
appreciate
you
actively
addressing
them.
I
would
like
to
reiterate
several
things
that
I
say
most
meetings
that
the
money
should
be
held
in
a
bank,
an
interest-bearing
account.
It
should
be
up
to
the
reparations
committee
to
find
a
black
bank.
H
I
know,
chair
Ruth
Simmons,
said
in
the
past
that
you
had
contacts
with
someone,
a
black
bank
and
this
money
should
be
held
in
a
black
Bank.
No,
not
for
profits
should
be
involved
in
handling
money
or
holding
money.
So
I'm
very
devastated
today
that
you
are
giving
white
people,
because
that
susiva
is
white
people,
fifty
thousand
dollars
to
distribute
money.
When
there's
people
on
this
line
right
here
that
can't
even
get
their
reparations,
money
and
and
and
and
you're
giving
it
to
an
organization
to
do
distribution.
H
H
Also,
I
see
that
in
you,
Northwestern
is
at
many
events
about
their
stadium,
so
maybe
you
should
get
on
their
list
to
talk
about
reparations.
H
I
will
also
like
to
say
again
that
it
should
be
cash
payment
and
attorney
next
coming
so
I'm
still
waiting
for
him
to
make
a
statement
about
he's,
found
a
way
for
cash
payment,
and
he
has
never
spoken
about
that
and
also
mayor
biss
has
been
to
many
events
talking
about
his
relatives
with
cash
payments.
I
would
like
to
see
him
at
the
reparations
meeting
discussing
also
for
all
of
the
people
or
some
of
the
people
as
Mr
Wyman
just
spoke.
H
It
is
understood
that
when
you
pass
this
program
that
it
would
be
used
for
housing
and
you
either
had
to
have
a
house
get
house
repaired
mortgage
or
find
a
house
in
Evanston
as
I've
always
stated
from
the
beginning.
Many
seniors
are
not
in
this
category
and
available
to
buy
a
house
or
they
don't
have
a
house,
and
cash
payment
would
have
been
much
better.
But
since
you
have
passed
this
through
city
council,
any
variations
of
this
would
have
to
go
through
a
council,
and
it
seems
that
this
would
be
illegal.
H
Know
I
just
I
want
to
know
I
want
I,
want
everybody
to
know
that
this
would
be
an
illegal
act
and,
if
you're
going
to
have
all
kind
of
problems.
Thank
you.
B
That's
it.
Thank
you,
as
Miss
Jones
is
coming
up,
I
want
to
say
that
the
city
has
not
committed
to
paying
sipa
fifty
thousand
dollars.
So
that
is
not
the
new
headline
that
has
not
happened,
and
it
will
not
happen
with
reparations
fund
dollars.
So
I
just
want
to
put
that
out
there
as
a
point
of
clarification.
Y
She's
online,
yes,
I,
just
want
to
say,
I'm,
very
disappointed
in
the
way
the
reparations
were
made
if
the
rules
that
were
made
the
ideas
for
because
it's
not
benefiting
the
all
of
the
black
people,
who
were
all
of
the
black
people
in
Evanston,
who
were
discriminated
against,
who
are
still
being
discriminated
against,
I
think
that
that
it
should
not
have
been
only
15.
People
could
not.
If
that
was
the
number
of
First
number
only
15
people
could
not
maintain
the
black
residents
in
Evanston.
Y
It
should
be
something
that
would
benefit
everyone
in
all
of
the
black
people
in
Evanston,
because
all
of
them
were
all
of
us,
so
all
of
us
were
were
affected
and
if
whatever
next
step
you
take
should
be
something
that
is
going
to
benefit
all
of
the
black
people
and
in
Evanston
those
who
believe
that
you
want
to
make
distinctions
about
which
all
say
those
who
were
who
have
Roots
here
in
the
United
States,
but
they're
I'm
sure
are
some
important.
Not
but
I
just
can't
see
counting
people.
L
It's
in
darnigan
I
just
wanted
to
know
after
we
finished
working
housing
portion
when
we
were
going
to
start
the
next
step,
which
is
economic
development.
B
Just
close
out
this
meeting
with
lifting
up
Black
History
Month
and
the
obvious
commitment
to
Black
History
Month
by
this
committee-
being
that
we
have
volunteers
and
elected
that
are
showing
up
to
do
very,
very,
very,
very,
very,
very
difficult
work.
Every
comment
is
heard:
it's
not
enough.
We
have
more
work
to
do
so.
L
B
B
If
you
hear
in
community
about
events,
please
do
send
them
out
in
our
Recreation
list,
sir,
so
that
folks
can
be
informed
and
if
you
want
to
do
your
own
self
learning
during
Black,
History
Month,
please
do
go
to
shorefront,
Legacy
website
and
I
believe
they
may
even
have
some
events
or
some
open
hours.
You
know,
if
you
don't
mind
chiming
in
to
let
us
know
how
the
community
can
access
Shore
front,
doing
Black,
History,
Month.
K
Absolutely
so
this
is
an
unusual
year
for
us.
It's
actually
the
first
time
we're
not
sponsoring
any
black
history
months.
It
worked.
We
were
in
a
period
of
transition
of
leadership,
my
stepping
down
as
executive
director
and
we
hired
Maurice
Bell,
who
will
be
taking
over
that
position
as
executive
director
Now.
G
K
Not
mean
I
will
stop
involvement,
s
to
be
involved,
but
yes,
please,
head
over
I,
just
put
in
the
chat
on
our
website,
address
www,
showfront,
legacy.org
or
they're
pleased
to
navigate
through
there.
We
have
resources
on
there.
We
have
our
Journal.
We
also
have
a
collection
of
audio
interviews
that
we've
done
over
the
Decades
of
long-term
residents
who
give
their
take
on
life
in
Edison
and
that
of
the
North
Shore.
K
It's
resources
have
been
used
a
lot
for
Publications
to
research,
dissertations,
even
documentary
films
and
we're
delighted
to
be
part
of
the
city
of
Alexander
North
Shore
communities
to
tap
this
wonderful
industry
that
we
have
here
put
the
vacancies
of
Yorkshire
on
the
map,
which
was
not
where
we
were
not
before
shortcuts
existed.
So
thank
you.
B
Thank
you,
Dino
and
I
want
to
say
that
lifting
up
documentaries,
The
Big
Payback
you
can
stream
it
on
PBS.
It
doesn't
cost
anything,
and
so
many
of
you
all
are
in
this
documentary.
It's
it's
a
fair
representation
of
what's
happening
in
Evanston.
B
Also,
the
1619
project
on
Hulu
I
would
recommend
watching
that
just
strengthening
the
case
for
reparations
more
so
on
a
national
level.
It's
an
excellent
series
based
on
the
work
of
Nicole,
Hannah
Jones
and
those
are
some
more
National
options
you
have
and
Jerry
Davis
I
see
your
hand.
Public
comment
is
over,
but
if
this
is
a
black
history
announcement,
please
unmute
yourself.
If
it's
not,
then
we're
gonna
have
to
see
you
next
month.
Z
Hey,
thank
you
chairs.
It's
not
I
did
have
I'm,
not
sure
what
happened
to
it,
but
when
I
signed
up
online
I
did
ask
to
be
in
public
comment.
Okay,
this
is
simply
something
to
to
let
everyone
know
and
I
will
send
this
to
to
Chic
so
that
she
can
get
it
out.
But
I
am
with
commissioner
Chelsea
Marita's
office
now
and
we
are
having
a
listening
session
for
the
Edison
Community,
this
Sunday
at
the
Levy
Center
at
two
o'clock
and
those
could
not
make
it
in
person.
Z
We
will
also
have
a
zoom
meeting
beginning
at
four
o'clock,
so
I
just
want
to
be
sure
that
everyone
knows
that,
so
that
we
can
get
everyone's
import
input
from
the
Edison
Community,
what
the
community,
what
the
Commissioner's
Office
can
do
for
you
and
how
we
can
strengthen
our
partnership
with
the
Edison
Community,
so
I
apologize
that
whatever
happened.
My
transmission
did
not
make
it.
Knowing
that
I
wanted
to
be.
B
Z
B
Thanks
a
lot,
thank
you,
and
if
that
we
are
actually
I
move
a
German.
B
Thank
you.
This
meeting
is
adjourned.
Next
month
we
will
reconvene
with
the
listening
session,
we'll
get
more
information
out
about
how
that
will
work.
We'll
do
it
at
one
of
our
community,
centers
I'm
sure,
but
we'll
work
with
tashik
and
her
team
to
sort
out
those
details
and
get
the
information
out.
Asap
also
do
look
to
receive
surveys
and
Outreach
from
the
reparations
survey
and
research.
That's
happening
under
the
link.
