A
A
C
D
A
C
I
just
have
a
couple
of
questions
for
rules
committee
basically
and
I
had
mentioned
this
before
I
am
requesting
that
award
meetings
and
our
congratulations
to
our
new
second
ward,
alderman
and
and
talking
about
having
monthly
award
meetings.
My
problem
is:
is
that
we're
having
Ward
meetings
when
we
have
other
meetings
with
the
city
at
the
same
time?
C
So,
for
example,
I
wanted
to
go
to
Jonathan
new
Smith's
Ward
meeting
and
at
the
same
time
we
had
the
ward
meeting
with
the
mayor
the
same
night
same
time
so
and
it
happens
where
we
have
three
and
four
meetings
from
the
city.
At
the
same
time
we
can't
go
to
you
know:
I
can't
go
to
more
than
one.
Maybe
two
meetings
same
night
same
time,
so
we
should
have
a
rule
that
that
doesn't
happen.
C
C
The
what
you're
proposing
tonight
to
have
two
two
people
to
back
up:
what's
it
called
what
were
you
proposing
tonight
to
have
co-sponsor?
Thank
you
to
have
a
co-sponsor.
Does
that
also
refer
to
other
employees?
There's
800
employees
in
the
in
the
city.
Does
that
also
include,
because
I
think
your
proposal
only
spoke
of
council
members,
so
if
other
employees
wanted
to
bring
something
before
consul,
does
that
also
that
co-sponsorship
does
that
apply
to
that?
Would
that
rule
apply
to
them?
Also,
so
that's
my
questions
for
now.
A
No
okay,
then,
let's
get
on
with
our
agenda
and
then
here
I'm.
Looking
at
my
machine,
okay,.
A
E
E
D
A
E
D
Thank
you
Madam
chair.
Forgive
me
if
I'm
misreading
this
and
I
I
might
have
missed
this,
but
I
see
the
rotation
of
committee
chairs
I'm,
not
sure
that
it
also
names.
E
Well,
I
guess:
I'll
just
jump
in
just
come
to
member
Harris.
E
Yeah,
thank
you.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
you're,
aware
of
all
of
the
options
that
you
have,
you
don't
just
have
to
join
the
Committees
that
councilmember
Braithwaite
was
on.
Of
course
you
have
free
reign
and
there
are
committees
outside
of
this,
such
as
Equity,
empowerment,
commission,
I,
think
we're
down
one
council
member
there.
E
If
you
want
to
join
or
other
committees
such
as
hcdc
or
Economic
Development
or
whatever,
where
yeah
it's
CDC,
so
I
guess
I'm
just
making
sure
that
you're
aware
of
the
full
range
of
committees
that
you
could
join.
A
F
F
You
I
don't
know
how
to
push
the
button
yet
right
flip
the
switch
yes
I
have
been
consulted
and
I
did
agree
to
this
appointment.
So
thank
you
great
okay,
great.
E
One
last
point:
I'm
fine
with
this
schedule,
as
is
but
I
I,
do
want
to
note
that
we
had
a
pretty
hefty
debate
up
here
about
seniority
and
this
doesn't
account
for
seniority.
E
I
I,
don't
care
personally,
I
didn't
care
before,
but
I
just
do
want
to
know
for
the
folks
who
had
a
gripe
about
that
in
the
past
that
this
does
not
account
for
that.
That's
it.
G
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much
and
welcome
councilmember
Harris
to
all
these
committees.
Okay,
ready
now
for
item
R2
resolution,
85-r-22
amending
city
council,
rule
9.7.
Would
someone
like
to
make
a
motion.
A
E
Member
Reed
sorry
I'm
pulling
this
up.
I
know
there
are
two
related
rules:
I
mean
they're,
both
related
I'm,
forgetting
which
one
is
which
yeah
9.7
is
that.
So
this
is
a
recommendation
that
I
made
a
while
ago
and
I
think
that
we
should
be
doing
this
and
I
the
one
thing
I
would
like
to
amend
about
this.
B
E
Want
to
I
think
we
should
consider
this
a
bit
more
and
particularly
based
on
some
of
the
language
in
the
committee.
E
You
know
the
the
referrals
committee,
the
fact
that
the
city
council
doesn't
have
goals
yet
the
fact
that
it
seems
as
though
this
rewrite
would
allow
the
rules.
Committee
I'm,
sorry,
the
referrals
committee
to
hold
items,
and
it
seems
as
though.
E
E
Think
about
you
know
what
our
our
established
goals
are
before
we
move
this
forward,
or
you
know,
I
I
would
be
supportive
of
just
you
know
having
it
straight
up
that
you
know
any
any
item,
that's
going
to
be
referred
needs
at
least
three
two
Council
or
two
co-sponsors
who
are
council,
members
and
I
think
we
should
also
make
sure
that
that
includes
the
city
manager's
office,
which
and
and
staff
referrals
such
as
Mr
Friedman,
was
saying
that
all
of
those
would
require
two
co-sponsors.
E
Not
making
an
amendment
yet
I
guess
I'm
seeking
some
clarification
on
one.
If
this
would
include
the
city
manager
having
to
have
two
co-sponsors
as
well,
and
if
this
gives
the
referrals
committee
any
new
powers
that
it
did
not
have
previously.
A
Okay,
maybe
mayor
biss
would
like
to
respond
yeah.
D
Let
me
respond
in
order
to
I
think
three
three
points:
the
first
just
for
it's
not
relevant
to
the
specific
text
of
this,
but
just
for
context
of
the
only
there
only
10
people
who
can
make
referrals
the
nine
members
of
city
council
and
the
city
manager.
So
those
are
oh
yeah,
11.
I
forgot
about
the
mayor.
There
are
11
people
who
can
make
her
first
referrals,
the
10
members
of
city
council
and
the
city
manager,
so
this
applies
neutrally
across
all
those
individuals,
except
the
city
manager,
can't
be
a
co-sponsor.
D
But
what
it
says
is
that
any
referral
that
has
two
co-sponsors,
whether
it
was
referral
made
by
me
or
made
by
Luke
or
made
by
one
of
the
nine
representatives
of
award
any
referral
that
has
those
two
co-sponsors
has
to
move
forward.
So
so
here's
here's
what
here's?
The
the
point
of
this
there
have
been
a
few
instances
on
the
in
the
referrals
committee
and
I.
Think
councilmember
Ravel
would
would
kind
of
you
testify
to
this
as
well.
That
we've
talked
about
something
and
we've
said
to
each
other.
It.
F
D
I,
don't
think
this
really
makes
sense
or
I
don't
I,
don't
think
this
I,
don't
think
it'd
be
constructive
for
this
to
move
forward
and
then
I
usually
come
in
saying.
No,
no,
no,
no,
that's
not
our
job.
We
don't
have
the
authority
to
decide
whether
or
not
something
moves
forward.
We
only
have
the
authority
to
decide
where
it
goes
and
make
recommendations
about
when
it.
G
D
And
so
what
this
what's
being
done
here
is
to
say
that
the
referrals
committee
now
has
the
ability
not
to
send
something
forward
to
committee,
but
that
ability
gets
overridden
if
something
has
two
co-sponsors.
So
if
you
make
a
referral,
the
referrals
committee
can
just
pass
it
along
without
any
additional
Rhythm
or
all
about
co-sponsors
or
the
referral
committee
can
say
I.
Don't
we
don't
feel
like
this?
A
E
Again,
I
I
made
this
recommendation
a
while
ago,
I
I
think
the
idea
is
good.
I
think
it
makes
the
process
more
collaborative,
I
I
do
think
it
should.
If
we're
going
to
Institute
this
I
think
it
should
just
be
on
the
front
end
and
not
have
this
whole
thing
where
the
committee
is
deciding
yes
or
no.
The
thing
is
just
if
you
want
to
get
something
on
an
agenda.
It's
got
to
have
two
co-sponsors
I'd
rather
see
that
than
you
know
this
thing.
E
Where
again-
and
this
brings
you
know,
particularly
if
this
committee
is
going
to
start
playing,
the
role
of
you
know
deciding
what
gets
on
an
agenda
and
not
I
think
we
need
to
make
sure,
as
as
I
proposed
earlier,
that
this
committee
is
a
bit
more
diverse.
We
have
a
mayor
who
lives
in
the
Sixth
Ward.
E
We
have
a
Sixth
Ward,
Alderman
Seventh,
Ward
Alderman,
who
represent
a
you,
know
a
certain
part
of
town
in
the
interest
of
a
certain
part
of
town
I,
think
we
need,
and
also
you
know,
the
mayor
doesn't
serve
on
very
many
committees
and
the
other
two
members
are
active
in
their
own
way
on
various
committees
or
not,
and
you
know
having
a
committee
that
is,
you
know
both
geographically
diverse,
that
is
diverse
and
who
the
various
words
represent,
diverse
in
their
membership
on
committees,
and
even
you
know,
since
it's
the
referrals
committee,
maybe
even
diverse,
in
the
amount
of
referrals
that
they
are
making
on
the
referrals
committee
and
so
I
think
you
know,
we
should
review
the
composition
of
the
referrals
committee,
but
I
guess
I
will
amend
this
to
you
know
reword
it
so
that
it's
just
in
order
to
put
in
a
referral.
A
E
E
Well,
I
I
think
well
in
order
to
maybe
be
a
bit
more
expeditious
here
with
our
time.
This
still
has
to
go
forward
to
council.
I.
Think
folks
are
clear
on
what
I
think
I'm
clear
and
what
I'm
saying
is
that
instead
of
the
committee
deciding
hey,
this,
maybe
doesn't
align
with
our
goals
or
we
don't
want
to
move
this
forward.
Just
you
know
anything
that
has
two
co-sponsors.
You
at
a
baseline
need
two
co-sponsors
to
make
a
referral.
G
You
know
any
single
one
can
to
now.
You
have
to
be
a
team
of
three
I'm,
just
wondering
if
it
wouldn't
make
more
sense
to
start.
You
know:
go
six
months
with
two
I,
just
think
that
three
I
mean
like
I'm,
not
sure
that
I
see
why
that
could
would
be
efficient.
I
feel
like
it's
two
could
be
obviously
I.
D
Sure
you
know,
throughout
our
our
Collective
term,
at
office.
They've
I've
heard
different
proposals
around
this
one
proposal.
I've
heard
from
a
lot
of
people,
which
is
in
fact,
what's
done
in
a
number
of
other
communities,
is
that
you
have
to
get
some
statement
of
support
from
a
majority
of
council
before
significant
staff.
Time
is
put
into
something
because
the
idea
is,
unless
it's
got
the
support
to
pass,
why?
Why
do
that?
So
that
would
be
four
co-sponsors
that
felt
to
me
like
too
much
you
know
to
me.
D
It
felt
like
there
should
be
some
sort
of
intermediate
stage
where
it's
got
some
support,
so
it's
worth
devoting
some
time
and
resources
to
dig
into
it
and
and
then
it
might
get
to
the
place
where
we've
had
enough
discussion
that
other
folks
will
be
brought
along.
So
I
just
felt
like
this
was
kind
of
halfway
between
the
two,
a
good
midpoint.
H
It's
also
just
curious
what
mayor
this
is.
Do
you
also
intend
for
this
to
apply
to
referrals
that
are
award
specific
and
not
and
do
not
impact
have
a
city-wide
impact.
A
H
Yeah
just
I,
don't
know
if
I
mean
I,
think
I
don't
know
if
you
need
anything
for
word
specific
issues,
but
I
think
one
for
a
warrant
specific
issue
makes
sense.
So
two
total,
you
know
we're
also
not
trying
to
you
know.
We
haven't
talked
a
lot
this
evening
about
the
problem.
We're
trying
to
solve
I
think
there
was
one
brief
sentence
about
it:
I
haven't
seen
any
data
or
anything
that
I
can
read
and
really
get
my
head
around.
H
So
it's
hard
for
me
to
understand
where
this
is
coming
from,
but
only
taking
in
that
one
sentence
that
I
got
on
on
defining
the
problem.
I
I
think
we
can
still
address
that
issue
without
slowing
down
everything,
and
if
there
are
some
more
specific
issues
where
two
council
members
can
get
on
a
quick
phone
call
to
talk
about
to
get
the
referral
going.
I
I'd
like
to
see
that
happen.
G
So
next
question
I
feel
like
we
often
get
into
and
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
what
are
in
essence,
referrals,
but
from
other
Senior
Management
staff
that
come
no
I
mean
I.
Just
so
I
know.
At
times,
we've
had
things
come
before
us
that
we
were
voting
on
or
discussing,
and
the
whole
Community
got
upset
about.
Different
I
could
go
on
about
a
few
different
items
that
didn't
come
from.
The
city
manager,
I
thought
they
came
from
staff
members
and
I'm
just
curious.
G
How
does
do
we
have
some
standardization
in
terms
of
like
everything
goes
through
referrals
or
unless
it's
some
routine?
You
know
something
routine
I
just
I
feel
like.
We
are
frequently
getting
items
on
our
agendas
that
aren't
going
through
the
referral
process
and
so
and
are
not
coming
from
this.
The
city
manager.
D
D
The
other
possibilities
that
I
messed
up
so
every
week
or
every
other
week
roughly
when
it's
when
I
review
the
agenda,
one
of
the
things
I'm
looking
for
is:
are
there
things
on
this
agenda
on
this
draft
agenda?
That's
being
proposed
to
me
that
really
should
have
been
referrals
and
staff
will
tell
you
I
think,
perhaps
with
a
little
bit
of
annoyance,
that
it
happens
regularly
that
I,
yank
stuff
off
the
agenda
say
hey.
G
Okay,
thank
you.
Yeah
I,
think
that
will
be
that
your
your
item
here.
Your
referral
here
will
be
really
helpful
if
we
can
really
make
sure
that
that
happens.
I'm
just
you
know
again
thinking
of
a
few
events
in
the
past,
where
residents
spent
many
many
many
hours
like
about
tree
plantings
or
I'm
plantings
around
trees
or
whatever
that
just
made
it
without
a
referral,
but
something
like
that,
if
it
has
a
co-sponsor
I
mean
that
are
too
close
by
three
co-sponsors
right.
It
requires
two
three.
G
Require
three
so
something
like
that
would
now
have
you'd
the
staff
member
would
have
to
recruit
three
three
council
members
correct
before
referring
it.
E
So
I
I
want
to
make
the
motion.
I
can
send
you,
but
it
would
unstrike
and
shell
and
then
strike
and
not
make
the
May
revision,
so
it
shall
and
then
it
would
leave.
The
committee
shall
refer
any
item
that
has
at
least
two
co-sponsors,
I
I'm
hearing
the
feedback
from
maybe
council
member
Kelly
and
burns
that
maybe
we
should
try
a
co-sponsor
of
just
one.
E
You
know
I'm
supportive
of
two
but
I'm
also
happy
to
just
do
one
co-sponsor
and
then
I
also
think
that
if
we're
going
to
add
this
layer
with,
you
know
whether
it
be
one
or
two
co-sponsors,
I
do
think
that
you
know.
If
a
council
member
has
to
go
through,
you
know
that
extra
hurdle
in
order
to
you
know,
exercise
their
legislative
Authority
as
a
council
member
right,
because
I.
F
E
Want
to
put
this
also
in
historical
context
and
I'm,
a
huge
Alderman,
Jordan
fan
and
I
can
think
back
to
a
council
where,
when
our
first
black
council
member
was
on
the
council,
if
he
had
to
get
two
co-sponsors
to
do
anything,
you
know
the
change
that
the
first
black
Alderman
was
pushing
for,
probably
wouldn't
have
been
possible
even
to
have
discussion.
So
council
member.
E
Okay,
even
even
to
have
discussions
on
items
like
this,
and
so
you
know,
I
I,
move
that
we
on
strike
and
shell.
We
we
don't
make
the
update
with
mate
the
May
language
we
keep.
The
underlying
the
committee
shall
refer,
and
then
we
add
that
you
know
once
you
have
the
two
co-sponsors
that
the
item
shall
appear
on
an
agenda
within
60
days
or
some.
E
You
know
time
frame
I
think
that's
fair,
that
if
you've
gone
through
those
steps
that
it
can't
be
just
held-
and
definitely
there
should
be
some
guarantee
that
that
item
that
has
two
co-sponsors
and
and
the
presenter
will
appear
on
an
agenda
and
right
now
there
is
no
guarantee
that
an
item
will
appear
on
an
agenda
in
any
kind
of
timely
fashion.
A
E
Okay,
so
to
distill
it
down
what
this
would
do
and
what
I
just
sent
to
you
is
that
again,
I
would,
if
you're
reading,
if
you're
looking
at
page
at
rule
9.7
on
page
12.,
what
the
motion
would
do
is
cancel
the
revision
relating
to
and
shell
and
May.
So
the
committee
shall
based
on
transparent,
established,
set
of
criteria.
It
keeps
that
as
it
was,
it
keeps
the
the
referral
by
council
member
by
mayor
biss
that
the
committee
shall
refer
any
item
that
has
at
least
two
co-sponsors.
E
So
it
would
require
two
co-sponsors
and
then
an
item
that
has
been
properly
referred,
which
means
it
has
two
co-sponsors
shall
appear
on
an
agenda
within
60
days.
A
Then
then,
I
think
the
motion
before
us
is
as
printed
in
the
packet
that
the
committee
May,
based
on
a
transparent
and
established
set
of
criteria,
refer
them
to
a
board
committee,
commission
or
city
council,
with
guidance
regarding
priority
and
instructions
as
to
whether
they
shall
appear
on
the
relevant
agenda,
blah
blah
blah
and
then
the
new
phrase,
new
sentence.
The
committee
shall
solely
for
any
item
that
has
at
least
two
co-sponsors.
E
A
Much
now
we're
ready
for
item
R3,
which
is
resolution
86-r-22,
mayor
Biz.
Would
you
like
to
move
this
one
also.
H
Yeah,
you
know
support
this
I
see
it's
likely
going
to
have
a
support.
All
I
would
ask,
is
I,
think,
there's
a
much
better
and
less
adversarial
and
less
time
consuming
way
to
address
the
underlying
concerns
and
it's
to
create
a
strategic
plan
in
a
roadmap
for
our
Council
setting
goals
and
objectives
and
very
kind
of
specific
strategies
that
we
have
not
done
that
and
really
at
this
point,
it's
it's
long
overdue,
and
so
in
the
next
by
next
week.
H
I
really
I
am
expecting
some
specific
information
about
when
this
Council
will
have
a
strategic
plan.
A
Thank
you,
okay,
thank
you
and
council
member
Reed.
E
Yeah
I'll
just
add
I,
think
and
the
reason
I
devoted
no
for
the
last
proposal,
even
though
I
supported
and
concept
is
without
certain
revisions,
I
think
we
are
setting
ourselves
up
for
conflict.
You
know
someone
makes
a
referral
the
referrals
committee
that
is
comprised
of
again
our
mayor
who
lives
in
in
the
Sixth
Ward,
albeit
in
a
modest
Milestone,
but
and
then
you
know
our
representatives
of
the
wealthiest.
E
You
know
most,
you
know
kind
of
you
know
it
exclusionary
Wards,
if
you
will
in
in
some
sense
historically
that
that
committee
will
have
sole
jurisdiction
to
decide
whether
a
referral
is
worth
being
discussed
or
not,
and
then
we'll
create
this
process
where,
after
this
committee
has
said,
no
this
item
isn't
going
to
move
forward
then,
and
only
then
are
we
going
to
have.
E
Someone
have
to
go
jockey
to
get
two
council
members
to
to
say:
hey
I,
don't
believe,
I
think
that
the
council,
that
the
rules
committee
or
the
referrals
committee
I'm
sorry
made
this
judgment
an
error
and
then
it
you
know
potentially
creates
an
atmosphere
where
folks
are.
You
know
lobbying
folks
on
both
ways
to
both
co-sponsor
something
and
maybe
not
co-sponsor
it,
so
it
doesn't
move
forward
and
I
think
it
just
creates
unnecessary
opportunity
for
attention
and
more
you
know,
potential
division
amongst
this.
E
Amongst
this
Council
and
and
I'll
push
back
a
bit
on
the
characterization
that
you
know
mayor
bis
gave
previously,
which
was
that
you
know.
Evans
now
did
some
analysis,
I
guess
and
I
determined
that
I
am
the
number
one
referrer
I
don't
know
whatever
you'd
conjugate.
That
and
you
know,
as
such,
you
know:
I've
had
some
referrals
that
have
not
been
passed.
E
I've
had
plenty
that
have
been
passed
and
and
even
more
that
are
Sitting
In
Limbo
moving
through
the
process
in
some
way,
but
of
the
referrals
that
did
not
pass
that
that
you
know
maybe
hand
for
so
that
I
can
think
of
at
you
know.
Maybe
it's
just
me
and
I'm
biased,
but
I
think
all
of
those
discussions
were
worthwhile.
We,
you
know
some
of
them,
maybe
didn't
make
sense
to
the
committee
at
first,
when
I
made
the
burglars
tools,
referral
I
think
the
committee
would
have
said
what
the
heck
is.
E
This
the
burglars
tools,
referral,
makes
no
sense
we're
not
going
to
refer
this
and
but
because
it
moved
forward.
What
did
we
find
out?
Oh
in
Chicago,
in
1970,
this
exact
ordinance
was
found
unconstitutional
and
by
having
that
on
the
books
we
set
ourselves
up
for
potential,
you
know
litigation
and
and
violating
rights
of
residents,
and
so
again,
I
just
think
we're
setting
ourselves
up
for
conflict.
We
should
allow
the
Democratic
process
to
play
out.
E
I
agree
with
councilmember
Burns
I
think
if
we
were
using
a
criteria
that
was
more
so
based
on
strategic
goals
that
we
all
voted
on
and
that
we
approved
collectively
rather
than
just
the
sixth,
seventh,
sixth
and
seventh
older
people
and
the
mayor
deciding
you
know
the
the
values
and
the
morals
of
the
city.
I
think
we'd
be
setting
ourselves
up
for
a
better
process
that
represented
all
of
the
voices
of
Evanston,
the
the
full
diversity
of
Evanston
and
not
just
a
vocal
few.
A
Okay,
mayor
biz.
A
D
Just
want
to
make
one
point
of
clarification
and
I'm
sure
this
confusion
is
due
to
the
way
I
explained
things
earlier.
Nothing
in
this
forces
anybody
to
wait
to
get
co-sponsors.
If,
if
this
were
to
pass
when
you're
making
a
referral,
you'll
have
two
choices:
choice,
one
will
be
get
my
two
co-sponsors
lined
up
in
advance
and
you
know
put
those
names
in
when
I
make
the
referral
as
an
insurance
policy,
so
that
for
those
referrals,
when
the
referrals
committee
looks
at
them,
they
know
they've
got
to
send
them
out.
D
If
you
don't
feel
like
going
to
that
extra
work,
then,
instead
you
can
make
the
referral
not
call
around
ask
for
a
couple
co-sponsors
and
see
what
the
referrals
committee
thinks
and
if
they
then
say
we
want
you
to
come
back
with
two
co-sponsors.
Then
you
could
do
it.
So
if
you,
if
you
take
the
first
of
those
two
paths,
it
doesn't
need
to
slow
anything
down.
There's
not
a
it's,
not
a
you
go
to
court,
you
lose
and
then
you
gotta
hire
a
lawyer
and
do
an
appeal.
H
And
I
would
be
I
would
totally
understand
that
for
the
most
part,
at
least,
if
again,
the
referrals
committee
was
fully
representative
in
a
way
where
I
could
have
faith
in
that
process
right.
So
what
I
would
like
to
see
is
four
referrals
committee
members
and
one
of
them
being
actually
someone
that
makes
referrals
right,
that
that
is,
is
truly
trying
to
take
up
their
responsibility
as
a
legislator
and
and
is
generate
generating
legislative
or
policy
changes
on
a
regular
basis
right.
H
So
one
person
on
the
referrals
committee
should
be
somebody
that
that
is
really
interested
in
taking
up
that
full
responsibility
and,
and
then
also
it
just-
should
be
reflective
from
from
a
award
standpoint
from
a
race
standpoint.
I
mean
it's
not
representative
I
mean
mayor
Bishop.
You
can
explain
to
me
how,
in
this
current
composition
in
the
selection
manner
in
which
the
committee
members
are
the
determine
on
the
reference
committee,
how
that
is
Equitable,
then
I
would
understand
it.
But
I
don't
know
if
you
could
do
that.
H
D
Sure
I
think
I
think
your
question
answered
itself.
You
you
asked
you
know
how
about
what
about
the
current
composition
of
the
referrals
committee
and
the
way
that
the
and
the
way
the
members
are
appointed
and
that's
that's
the
whole
deal
it's
the
rules
committee,
which
is
the
full
city
council
and
the
mayor
who
make
the
appointments
to
the
referrals
committee.
It's
as
representative
as
this
body
is,
and
as
this
body
would
like
it
to
be.
D
Yeah
I'm,
unaware
of
any
time
that
we've
required
referrals
for
the
rules
committee
to
take
up
its
responsibility
of
assigning
council
members
to
stand
in
committees.
That's
that's
a
thing
that
a
chair
of
the
rules
committee
could
put
on
the
agenda.
Usually
it's
done
by
agreement
based
on
a
kind
of
this
pre-established
schedule
and
I.
Don't
remember
at
the
top
of
my
head
the
length
of
the
appointments
that
are
currently
being
served
out,
but
but
no
there's
never
been
a
I've,
never
heard
of
a
referral
to
deal
with
committee
assignments.
H
Okay,
so
the
ease
Okay
cool
so
to
get
on
the
referrals
committee
is
as
easy
as
getting
on
any
other
committee
is
what
you're
saying,
because
for
every
other
committee
we've
made,
if
we
needed
to
change
the
amount
of
people
from
three
to
four
council
members,
one
to
two
whatever
it
was,
there
were
no
restrictions
at
all
that
prevented
someone
who
is
interested
in
sitting
on
a
committee
from
being
on
that
committee
is.
That
is
the
same
true
for
the
referrals
committee
and,
if
so,
great
Point.
Okay,
that's
good
news.
D
A
E
If
we're
going
to
expand
the
membership,
if
we're
going
to
pack
the
court,
then
yes
we'd
have
to
make
a
referral
to
change
the
number
of
members
on
the
referrals
committee.
But
if
you're
saying
that
you
know
maybe
one
of
the
two
council
members
on
the
committee
wants
to
step
down
and
swap
out
with
you
know
that
would
not
require
a
referral
right,
but
that's
that's
completely
reliant
on
one
of
the
two
council
members
wanting
to
step
down.
A
Right
so
council
member
Reed
you'd
had.
E
Your
light
on
for
another
minute
and
a
half
yes,
so
I
am
moving
a
an
amendment
to
this,
which
again
we
just
voted
to
say
that
you
know
that
that,
in
order
to
be
guaranteed
to
have
a
referral,
you
have
to
have
two
co-sponsors.
I
think.
If
somebody
comes
in
with
two
co-sponsors
and
clears
that
hurdle
there
should
be
a
guarantee
that
their
Amendment
appear
or
that
their
referral
appear
on
an
agenda
within
60
days
and
so
I've
sent
that
to
council
member
Ravel
I.
A
A
We
don't
have
an
amendment,
so
I
think
I
think
we're
ready
to
vote
on
the
main
motion
which
is
back
to
my
other
packet
here.
Just
a
minute.
A
D
D
I
mean
there
was
some
tech
that
had
to
get
built
to
make
that
happen
seamlessly
and
I
know
that
clerk
Mendoza
is
not
here,
but
once
that
got
built,
the
the
speed
changed
dramatically.
Okay,.
A
Okay,
so
I
think
we're
ready
to
vote
on
this
item,
our
our
three,
but
still
a
point
of.
E
Information,
so
the
in
order
for
two
co-sponsors
they
have
to
submit
in
writing
to
become
co-sponsors,
because
again,
what
you
described
was
that
a
council
member
could
work
with
their
colleagues.
Notate
hey,
you
know,
I've
got
two:
these
are
the
two
council
members
who
are
co-sponsoring
it
so
do
they
have
to
take
an
individual
step
and
because,
based
on
this
language,
it
seems
like
they
do.
I
mean
it'd,
be
a.
D
E
A
E
B
Councilmember
Ravel
aye
council
member
suffered
in
councilmember
Burns
councilmember
newsma
aye
councilmember,
when
councilmember
Harris,
council
member
Kelly.
A
E
I
just
want
to
request
that
at
the
next
rules
committee
meeting
there
are
a
number
of
referendum
referrals
that
were
made.
I
I'd
like
to
see
those
on
on
the
agenda,
want
it
being
evi
the
Evanston
voter
initiative,
as
well
as
the
selection
manner
for
our
Corporation
Council,
and
so
I'd
like
to
see
both
of
those
on
on
our
next
agenda.
Because.
H
A
Referral
Purgatory.
Thank
you
any
other
issues
to
come
before
the
committee.
Then
I
declare
us
adjourned.
Thank
you
very
much
see
you
next
time.
