A
Fritz
keges,
oh
offices,
zoom
meetings
about
their
new,
the
new
tax
property
tax.
A
Yeah
and
and
it's
just
holy
camoly
isn't
complicated,
but
I
have
a
I
was
talking
to
a
guy
who
has
a
client
who's,
looking
to
purchase
a
condominium
building
and
convert
it
to
rental,
and
so
I
was
explaining
that
it
would
be
covered
by
the
international
housing
ordinance.
A
But
I
said
and
there's
some
other
things
you
I
don't
know
about,
so
I
figured
I
better
get
smarter
on
it.
I
don't,
I
don't
know
all
the
details,
but
you
know
it's.
We
are
tier
three
based
on
our
lack
of
affordable
housing,
so
developers
can
get
the
best
property
tax
reductions.
A
B
Yeah
and
we
can
shift
that
some
of
the
money
to
the
county
rather
than
to
us,
given
the
money,
I
wonder,
is
that
has
that?
Has
that
when
is
that
workshop
or
when
is
that
presentation.
A
It
is
literally
being
done
there.
There
are
about
five
different
ones.
The
one
I
was
looking
at
is
on
march
1st,
because
it
is
for
people
who
are
considering
providing
affordable
housing
and
how
they
can
how
they
can
find
out
what
it
would
do
for
them.
There's
just
they're
like
five
different
versions,
there's
something
for
the
current
class
nine
buildings,
how
they
should
handle
it,
and
so,
if
people
are
interested,
I
can
certainly
send
out
the
send
out
the
website
for
it.
But
yeah.
A
B
A
Income
is
so
restricted.
Another
interesting
thing
is:
it's
done
only
on
the
value
of
the
building.
The
land
is
separated
from
the
building.
So
you
know
our
land
is
so
expensive.
That's
one
of
our
big
problems,
but
if
we
can
get
any
reductions,
it's
it's
good,
so
yeah.
B
A
D
C
C
Yeah
cherie
lackey
also
expressed
interest
in
attending,
I'm
not
sure
if
she's
able
to
but
but
my
hope
is
that
she
can
and
amanda
it's
good
to
see
you.
Thank
you
so
much.
C
I
don't
know
if
we
want
to
give
give
cherie
another
minute
or
if
we
just
want
to
jump
into
the
discussion,
I
can
certainly
frame
frame
frame
it
if
people
would
appreciate
that
or
or
not
sure,.
A
Quick
other
weird
thing
we
probably
should
have
designated
because
it
is
sort
of
like
a
public
meeting,
a
a
a
chair
for
the
purpose
of
running
the
meeting.
B
A
C
So
far,
it's
it's
sheree
who
yeah
demeter
was
not
did
not
respond.
Affirmatively,
okay,.
E
Well,
I
know
I'm
gonna
have
to
go
right
at
once,
so
maybe
we
should
just
jump
right
in
and
then,
if
she
comes,
we
can
just
continue
yeah
so
jessica.
If
you
want
to
kind
of
start
off
by
framing
this,
you
know,
as
I
was
kind
of
giving
it
a
little
bit
of
thought.
I
know
we
do
have
some
parameters.
We
have
a
certain
amount
of
money.
We
have
sort
of
a
target
audience.
We
have
some
agencies
already
kind
of
lined
up.
E
That
could
help
us
with
this,
and
I
think
you
know,
maybe
if
you
start
to
frame,
we
can
kind
of
dig
in
with
some
brainstorming
about
the
possibilities
for
this
funding.
C
Thank
you
yeah,
so
so
the
goals
as
I
see
them-
and
I
hope
you
see
them,
also
are
really
twofold.
We
do
have
applicants
who
did
not
fall
under
the
categories
of
case
management
or
safety
net
services
and
those
applicants
are
waiting
waiting
in
the
wing
as
it
were
to
to
hear
whether
they're
eligible
for
funding
or
not.
C
Two
of
those
applicants
do
provide
mental
health
services
but
did
not
necessarily
apply
for
mental
health
services
in
the
way
that
I
think
the
committee
was
was
looking
for
mental
health
service
providers,
so
the
committee
agreed
to
focus,
support
services
on
mental
health,
funding
or
mental
health
supports,
and
I
think
specifically
around
and
again
I
don't.
I
don't
want
to
put
too
many
ties
on
it,
but
medical
management
was
one
of
the
areas
psychiatric.
C
I'm
sorry
excuse
me,
psychiatric
services,
diagnostic
services
and
and
counseling,
and
I
think
people
were
most
interested
in
like
individual
and
group
counseling
and
therapy.
So
we
have
trilogy
and
trilogy's
a
wonderful
organization.
They
do
offer
those
services,
but
we'll
just.
D
Go
over
that
list,
one
more
time:
the
decent
medical
management
and
individual
group
counseling.
What
was
the
third
and
fourth.
C
C
A
And
just
a
note,
our
case
management
agencies,
for
whom
we're
supposed
to
be
doing
this.
These
are
supportive
services
for
the
clients,
in
case
management.
Services
too,
so
are
supposed
to
be
having
that
benefits.
Enrollment
component.
So
you
know
that's
one
of
the
ongoing
challenges
of
making
sure
we're
what
we're
trying
to
accomplish
here.
D
C
Sure,
thank
you
for
that.
So
psychiatric
services
include
the
ability
to
prescribe
medication.
D
C
E
May
have
go
through
an
assessment
to
to
rule
out
a
medical
concern,
whether
they
need
medication,
what
kind
of
diagnosis
they
might
have
and
then
that
would
kind
of
allow
them
to
seek
other
services.
E
E
Kind
of
include
those
folks
in
our,
and
they
may
be
part
of
taking
part
of
the
in
the
case
management
services
that
we're
also
talking
about
so
yeah.
C
Well,
and
one
of
the
things
that
we're
hoping
this
working
group
or
the
the
committee
explores
is,
you
know
200
000,
it's
not
a
lot
of
money,
and
so
if
the
group
wanted
to
sort
of
decide
that
the
money
would
be
for
counseling
services
specifically,
then
then
how
can
we
provide
those
services
or
if
the
group
wanted
to
decide
that
psychiatric
services
that
the
group
wanted
to
focus
that
funding
on
psychiatric
services?
I
think
psychiatric
services
are
also
really
expensive.
C
C
How
do
we
want
to
focus
funds?
Where
do
we
want
to
focus
funds
like
what
are
next
steps,
and
I
think
the
goal
would
be
for
for
the
committee
to
the
working
group
to
to
decide
here
and
then
present
a
recommendation
to
the
bigger
social
services
committee
at
the
meeting
in
march
yeah
and
nothing
is
off
the
table.
You
you
guys
can
decide
like
you,
love
the
agencies,
even
though
they
don't
fall
under
case
management
or
safety
net,
that
these
agencies
have
been
waiting
and
they
deserve
funding.
C
D
Do
we
know
roughly
what
the
need
is,
and
I
don't
know
if
this
is
getting
more
into
the
type
of
data
collection
that
I
would
like
to
see
moving
forward.
If
we
have
the
ability
to
understand
the
need
in
each
area
based
on
agency
feedback,
you
know,
especially
for
counseling.
You
know
like
how
how
often
how
many
referrals
have
they
gotten
the
last
year
that
they
feel
they
couldn't
feel
you
know,
feel
or
find
appointments
for.
D
Do
we
have
any
understanding
of
the
volume
of
requests
that
are
being
that
aren't
that
are
going
on
field.
C
So
that's
a
great
question:
it
is
challenging
because
the
those
populations
sort
of
shift
all
the
time
they're
constantly
kind
of
influx.
But
when
the
agencies
polled
included,
connections,
the
moran
center,
you
infant
welfare
society
and
they
said
for
counseling.
For
example,
there
are
always
more
participants
than
can
can
receive
access
to
services,
and
I
think,
given
our
funds,
that
what
we
could
provide
with
the
200
000,
if
we
were
to
put
it
toward
counseling,
still
wouldn't
match
the
demand,
but
it
would
take
take
a
dip
out
of
it.
E
I
was,
I
was
kind
of
thinking
that
we
could
come
up
with
some
kind
of
a
model
where
you
know.
Maybe
we
are
able
to
okay.
E
For
example,
I
wrote
it
down
one
of
the
agencies
not
trilogy,
but
impact.
I
think
you
know
that
they're
providing
mental
health
services,
but
maybe
we
also
need
to
put
out
like
some
kind
of
an
rfp
to
and
or
if
we're
going
to
expand
it
to
see
if
there's
other
either
private
practices
or
other
agencies.
E
That
could
provide
some
service,
because
the
issue
is
the
wait
lists
and
funding,
and
maybe
transportation
could
be
an
issue
too,
depending
on
where
the
the
agencies
are,
but
then
kind
of
come
up
with
a
model
like
we're
able,
with
this
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
we're
able
to
fund
five
to
ten
sessions
at
100
a
session
for
x
amount
of
people,
whether
it's
through
a
voucher
or
a
direct
contract
with
an
agency.
D
E
Then
we
kind
of
serve
folks
with
that
money,
because
I
agree,
I
think
it's
not
a
ton
of
money
and
so
we'd,
probably
the
the
demand
would
exceed
what
we're
able
to
support
anyway.
So
maybe,
if
we
think
about
how
to
evenly
distribute
the
money
in
a
way
that
a
session
amount
or
what
have
you
that
could
still
be
impactful,
you
know-
maybe
is
one
way
to
think
about
this,
but
I'd
love
to
hear
other
people's
ideas
or
thoughts
about
what
could
possibly
work.
D
I'm
trying
to
understand
where
the
where
the
gaps
are.
You
know,
so
I
wonder
one
gap
that
might
be
there
is.
You
know
it
seems
like
the
more
complex
the
trauma
that
the
individual
was
going
through,
the
harder
it
is
to
place
those
people.
That
was
something
that
I
heard
from
audrey
thompson.
But
if
there's
a
sense,
we
don't
have
a
lot
of
money.
If
there's
a
particular
area,
that's
the
hardest
to
place.
D
I'd
I'd
be
interested
to
understand
that
to
see,
if
that's
an
area
that
we
should
focus
our
limited
funds
on
or
do
we
want
to
just
expand
an
area
that
is
somewhat
available,
but
we
can
expand
it
and
and
see
a
lot
of
benefit
there,
but-
and
I
think
that
can
that
that
could
also
align
with
what
you're
saying
amanda,
but
within
that
I'm
just
trying
to
see
if
we
should
prioritize
around
a
certain
need
that
we're
seeing
in
the
community
within
you
know,
counseling,
because
it's
family
counseling,
for
example,
is
a
need
within
the
need.
D
A
Do
was
support
what
amanda
was
talking
about,
one
of
the
things
that
we
could
try
to
do,
which
I
think
would
be
the
best
sort
of
financial
agreement
to
to
do.
Given
our
limited,
you
know
to
build
experience
with
this
is
to
define
things
like
I
mean
again,
I'm
not
a
practitioner,
so
I
might
not
have
all
the
term
individual
counseling
and
group
counseling
and
have
a
cost
associated
for
a
certain
amount
of
sessions
and
but
but
what
we
could
do
is
we
could
put.
A
We
would
put
out
a
sort
of
rfp
to
see
if
other
providers
would
be
willing
to
do
this,
because
one
of
the
things
we
talk
about
is
it's
really
important
to
see
if
private
providers
might
be
able
to
fill
some
of
the
gaps
and
especially
when
we
keep
hearing
that,
sometimes
people
don't
find
practitioners
who
they
feel
comfortable
with
so,
and
you
know,
demeta's
talked
very
eloquently
about
that.
A
So
if
we
could
figure
out
a
your
your
agency
or
you,
your
practice
would
be
willing
to
do
this
much
I
mean
I
don't
even
think
it.
Everybody
has
to
have
the
exact
same
cost,
but
we
have
to
have
a
cost
reasonableness.
The
good
thing
is
we're
working
with
local
funding.
A
A
You
know
we.
We
need
to
have
criteria
other
than
just
cost,
and
so
I
I
think
that
that
would
be
a
very
good
way
if
and
and
this
is
why
it's
so
good
to
have
our
practitioners
like
amanda
and
danita
and
others,
because
they
can
say
yes,
maybe
doing
an
x
number
of
session.
A
Cost
would
actually
really
move
people
forward
and
and
then
we
could
say,
okay
agency,
a
we
can
provide
you
up
to.
You
know
this
much
money
for
up
to
these
many
individuals
or
households
and
depending
one
of
the
hardest
things
is,
everybody
is
suffering
from
being
paid
late
by
everybody,
one
of
the
things
that
I
would
consider
being
a
good
way
to
do.
A
This
is
say:
okay,
we
will
give
you
I'm
just
making
up
for
round
numbers,
because
it's
easier
if
everybody's
service
cost
ten
thousand
dollars,
I'm
just
again
using
a
round
number,
and
you
say
you
can
take
10
over
the
course
of
a
year.
Maybe
we
would
give
them
enough
for
five
and
then,
when
they
have
shown
they've
treated,
you
know
they've
taken
on
that
those
clients.
Then
we
could
extend
so
they're,
not
always
waiting
for
money,
we're
not
putting
checks
on
every
bills.
A
List
that
you
know
is
going
to
drive
everyone
crazy,
but
we
can
manage
it
and
that's
really
how
we
manage
many
of
our
grant.
I
mean
that's
how
our
grants
are
managed
in
a
way.
It's
not
like.
We
wait
for
them
to
give
us
every
receipt
before
we
release
their
first
funding,
because
that
is
very
difficult
for
agencies.
A
It's
a
cash
flow
thing,
but
you
know
we
could
work
out
something
like
that,
which
I
think
could
be,
because
if
we
make
it
to
onerous
from
a
payment
standpoint,
then
everybody's
going
to
go
no
way.
So
you
know
we
have
to
look
at
barriers
both
for
getting
people
into
services,
but
also
things
that
make
the
providers
go.
Oh,
I
can't
possibly
wait
to
have
to
file.
You
know.
C
A
X
number
of
sessions
with
somebody
and
then
be
reimbursed
for
it,
and-
and
I
I'm
come
you
know,
they'll-
have
to
show
us
who
who
was
referred
from
whom
or
the
referring
agency
will
say
this
individual.
You
know
this
client
has
been
referred,
is
taken
as
a
client
and
we
track
it
that
way,
because
then
the
provider,
the
support
services
provider,
has
to
also
report
without
breaking
any
confidentiality
of
course,
on
whether
or
not
the
client
actually
went
through
the
sessions
and
stuff
like
that.
Does
that
make
sense.
C
Yeah,
I
also
wanted
to
address
the
idea
of
greatest
need
because,
when
we're
talking
about
psychiatric
services,
particularly
for
children,
we
hear
from
you
and
the
social
workers
at
the
school
district
that
that
is
a
tremendous
need
and
a
really
big
challenge
is
students
who
receive
medication
and
then
can't
get
psychiatric
services
to
continue
their
medications,
so
they're
bounced
off
of
their
medications.
They're
put
back
on
medications,
that's
a
big
need.
We
also
hear
from
like
connections
and
our
homeless.
C
D
To
take
a
step
back,
I
wonder
what
is
the
outcome
we're
trying
to
achieve,
and
if
it's
to
learn
a
little
bit
about
how
to
do
each
one
of
those
categories
better,
then
I
think
we
probably
should
do
all
of
them
if
it's
to
get
better
at
addressing
of
the
greatest
need.
However,
we
determine
that
then,
let's
just
do
that,
but
I
feel
like
if
we
don't
have
enough
money
to
really
make
a
huge
impact.
Really
what
we're
doing
is
learning.
This
is
a
learning
experience
for
us.
D
D
Homeless,
shelters
and
provide
that
diagnostic
support
right
there
at
the
site.
Is
that
what
that
looks
like
right,
so
that
people
don't
have
to
go
to
an
office
to
get
that
that
support.
So,
but
once
we
figure
out
how
we
want
to
allocate
the
funding,
then
we
can
talk
a
little
bit
more
specifically
about
what
we're
looking
for
and
then
I
think
that'll
help
develop
the
rfp
potentially.
E
E
I
think
there's
like
two
issues:
one
is
there:
aren't
there
isn't
enough
service
to
meet
the
needs?
We
need
to
find
more
services,
so
I
guess
that's:
where
sort
of
the
idea
comes
from
about
the
rfp
or
whatever
the
correct
term
would
be,
but
we
need
to
find
more
providers
of
the
service,
whether
it's
counseling
or
doing
assessments
or
providing
psychiatry
services.
E
So
I
think
that's
one
problem,
because
this
is
what
our
our
agencies
are
telling
us.
We
have
people
with
long
waiting
lists.
There
are
services
in
evanston
or
nearby,
but
there's
just
not
enough
providers
to
meet
the
need,
so
we
need
to
find
more
providers
and
more
agencies
and
we
need
to
find
a
way
to
disperse
the
money.
So
so,
maybe
to
me
yeah.
So
maybe
I
mean
like
first
step
is
like
just
finding
more
people.
E
We
need
to
to
do
that,
and
maybe
that
means
funding
some
of
the
agencies
that
we
already
have
kind
of
waiting,
because
I
think
that's
a
good
start,
but
I
think
we
also
need
to
find
more
and
maybe
that's
you
know
a
way
to
talk
about
it.
I
don't
know
how
people
feel
about
this,
but
as
I
was
thinking
this
through,
I
thought
like.
Okay,
we
put
out
you
know
a
request
for
proposals
from
agencies
and
such
and
then
maybe
there's
some.
E
You
know
maybe
there's
a
lot
of
like
private
practices
in
downtown
chicago
or
something
well.
How
are
people
gonna
get
there?
You
know
how
are
people
going
to
get
to
glenview
or
where
you
know
wherever
like
some
of
these
services
are,
and
so
I
just
I
don't
know
how
people
feel
about
this,
but
there's
a
big
push
now
and
there's
also
research
that
shows
that
it's
very
effective
to
do
online
treatment.
So
you
know,
maybe
we
can.
E
You
know
just
kind
of
looking
into
a
couple
of
these
they're
providing
telehealth
and
they're
doing
it
on
the
phone.
Through
you
know,
skype
or
whatever
texting.
You
know
that
that
could
be
another
way
to
kind
of
increase
the
pool
of
service
providers.
If
we
thought
that
that
was
something
that
we
wanted
to
include
it's
easily
accessible
for
those
that
have
computers
now
not
for
everyone.
So
I
think
we
need
to
also
have
places
that
people
can
walk
to
and
what
have
you,
but
just.
D
E
E
Eligible
for
this
are
we
focusing
on,
and
these
are
some
of
the
things
that
you
were
talking
about-
councilmember
burns
and
jessica
and
such
so.
You
know
who's
going
to
be
eligible
for
this
particular
funding.
Are
we
going
to
try
to
do
some
of
the
diagnostic
services
and
the
counseling
or
or
what
have
you.
E
D
E
D
A
D
A
A
I
think
it
would
be
probably
smart
to
try
to
focus
on
those
groups,
and
we
can
also
we've
already
got
the
agencies
working
with
them,
so
we
will
probably
have
a
greater
likelihood
of
being
able
to
track
something,
and
you
know
jessica
and
I've
talked
to
some
other
organizations
about
the
system
we're
trying
to
implement.
They
go
wow,
that's
really
cool.
If
you
can
figure
it
out,
we'd
love
to
hear
about
it
because
it
it
is
complicated.
A
You
know
our
our
social
services
funding
structure
is
so
fragmented
and
it
makes
everybody
have
to
run
around
to
try
to
find
everything
for
themselves
and
it
puts
the
greatest
pressure
on
the
people
with
the
least
resources
financial,
emotional,
everything
else
to
to
deal
with
it.
And
so
I
think
that
if
we
can
kind
of
keep
it
limited
to
that,
for
a
start,
it
will
do
what
you're
talking
about
councilmember,
which
is
are.
D
A
It
because
I
think
that
most
of
them
are
going
to
be
uninsured,
because
that's
you
know
really
who
were
or
or
in
a
queue
forever
because
they're,
you
know
at
the
back
of
the
line
of
the
medicaid
list,
which
I
think
it
was.
Was
it
eerie
jessica
who
has
different
lists
for
different
types
of
insurance
and
and
they
have
to
follow
that
as
a
qualified
federal
health
center.
A
Probably-
and
you
know,
if
we
could
get
somebody
started
and
then
they
could
be
transferred
to
medicaid
funding
when
they
get
to
the
point
in
the
line
where
they're
eligible
for
it.
I
don't
know,
that's
something
that
we
would
have
to
talk
to
the
billing
people,
because
you
know
that's
easy
for
me
to
say,
but
it
might
screw
up
their
billing.
A
But
I
think
that
that's
what
we
need
to
do
and-
and
I
do
think
we
could
look
at
having
a
pot
of
money
for
each
of
these
three
categories
or
we
could
start
there
and
see,
try
that
and
if
we
can't
work
it
out,
work
it
out
for
those
we
can.
D
And
a
man
I
like
the
telehealth,
so
I
just
wanted
to
add
an
endorsement
for
that.
I
do
like
the
telehealth
as
well.
As
you
know,
if
there's
a
way
where
someone
could
provide,
you
know
diagnostic
and
maybe
psychiatric
treatment
or
services,
but
definitely
diagnostic
services
at
one
of
our
evanston
locations
and
held
office
hours
there
like
hey,
can
you
go
to
connections?
Has
several
sites
right
near
outside
everson?
What
does
it
look
like
to
provide
an
office
space
for
someone
to
provide
diagnostic
services?
D
As
you
know,
our
kind
of
housing
home
insecure
population
is
coming
in
and
out
of
a
space
they're
already
there
they're
already
going
through
intake.
Why
not
have
someone
staff
there
certain
you
know
days
of
the
week
to
provide
diagnostic
services.
A
Right
or
be
on
call
and
be
able
to
set
up
appointments
quickly
or
something
and
go
to
their
house
or
whatever,
and
that
was
impact.
Behavioral
health
specifically
didn't
apply
in
our
other
categories,
because
their
case
management
for
their
residents
is
funded
through
their
supportive
housing
agreements,
and
so
you
know,
and
of
course
that
never
covers
everything.
A
But
you
know
we're
not
using
our
money
most
of
the
time
to
cover
every
gap
in
everybody's
funding
that
we've
tried
to
pay
for
paying
for
everything,
but
they
had
said
we're
interested
in
being
a
supportive
service,
and,
and
they
do
they
are
one
of
the
organizations
that
can
do
that
diagnosis,
and
so
they
would
definitely
be.
A
You
know
somebody
who
could
say
hey
what
would
let's
work
out
a
tell
us
what
you
could
do
you
know,
and
and
we
could
we
could
have
some
kind
of
a
how
many
people
might
you
be
able
to
die
or
how
many
clients
might
you
be
able
to
handle
in
what
period
of
time
would
it
be
at
your
at
a
specific
location?
Would
you
be
willing
to
go
to
whoever
you
know
whatever
agency?
A
The
client
is
with,
or
do
whatever
you
know,
that
type
of
thing
without
making
it
too
complicated,
we'll
have
to
get
it
down
to
something
manageable.
Obviously
I
can't
just
throw
everything
out
there,
but,
but
I
think
that
that
is,
is
really
important
and
and
and
they
there
have
been
cases
where
I
know-
connections,
for
example,
has
actually
paid.
A
You
know
gotten
somebody
at
various
points
to
be
on
available
and
come
at
certain
times,
and
and
so
that
type
of
a
thing
of
having
somebody
at
a
facility
might
be
a
really
good
thing
too,
but
I
think
that
that
would
be
a
really
good
way
to
start
on
the
diagnosis
one,
and
I
I
absolutely
agree
that
telemedicine,
not
only
just
for
you
know
there
are
some
people
who
I've,
I
understand
are
willing
to
do
tele
telecounseling,
because
they
can
do
it
in
a
very
private
way
and
they
don't
have
other
people
seeing
that
they
are
going
to.
A
You
know
mental
health
services
or
something
that
that
it
can
be
very
important
for
people
whose
cultures
stigmatize
that
I
come
from
minnesota
and
north
dakota,
and
they
did
a
huge
thing
about
in
some
stuff.
A
I
was
reading
about
how
farmers,
who
would
never
admit
that
they
had
a
mental
illness,
because
that's
a
human
failing
in
their
view,
but
also
important,
was
they're
out
on
their
farm
all
the
time
they
can't
take
a
day
to
go
someplace,
but
they
can
take
part
of
their
lunch
time
and
do
a
call
you
know
so
it
it's
really.
I
think
it's
an
amazing
thing.
It
can
work
amazingly
well,
and
we
don't
want
to
rule
something
like
that
out.
That
would
be
really
thank
you
for
bringing
that
up.
Amanda.
E
I
think
another
nice
thing
about
it
is
that
they
have
so
many
different
services
that
you
can
really
have
a
wider
variety
of
choice
around
picking
someone
that
feels
like
a
good
match
for
you.
You
know
like
if
going
to
wilmette
to
see
you
know
a
particular
therapist
is
not
your
bag.
You
know,
you
have
other
options,
you
know
in
terms
of
race,
ethnicity,
background
the
way
they
see
problems,
the
way
that
they
work
for
change.
You
know
all
those
things,
so
I
think
that's
another
nice
thing
about
it.
There's
a.
B
C
No,
that's
great,
I'm
sorry!
I
I
love
the
way
this.
I
don't
want
to
stop
this
conversation,
but
I
also
in
considering
how
much
time
we
have
left
want
to
bring
up
those
applications
like
youth,
job
center
and
shore
community
services
and
northwest
casa
that
that,
maybe
we
can
say
definitively
aren't
providing
the
services
that
that
it
sounds
like
we're.
Looking
for.
D
I
mean,
I
think,
when
we
put
out
the
rfp,
if
they
feel
they
should
apply,
they
should
apply.
I
don't
think
we
need
to
tell
them
that
they,
you
know,
aren't
eligible
at
this
point.
They
can
make
that
determination
for
themselves.
Once
we
put
out
the
rfp
or
develop
the
rfp,
I
mean
that's
my
thought
unless
we're
trying
to
figure
out
another
way
for
them
to
to
give
funding
potentially,
which
we
may
not
know
right
now,.
C
Right,
we're
not
we're
not
trying
to
figure
out
another
way
for
them
to
get
funding,
but
but
we
do
have
these
applicants
they
they
applied
through
zoom
grants
and
they're
waiting
to
hear
about
those
applications.
A
I
guess
what
jessica
is
saying
is
we
had
never
officially
said
these
agencies
will
not
be
funded
based
on
these
applications,
and
I
think
what
you
just
said,
council
member
burns
is
a
really
good
point
any
of
them.
You
know
I
mean
I
just
look
at
the
services,
we're
talking
about
the
mental
health
services
and
think
wow.
You
know
impact
we
know
wanted
to
apply
for
supportive
services
and
trilogy
has
such
a
wide
range
of
capacity.
A
They
may
have
all
kinds
of
things
that
they
could
provide
and
in
the
mental
health
services
we're
talking
about,
but
you
know
some
of
the
other
providers,
the
the
fit
isn't
as
obvious
to
me.
But
if
we
say
if
we
were
to
say
you
are
not
being
funded
under
either
of
the
categories
that
you'd
applied.
E
E
I
I
agree
because,
like
reading
through
the
information
in
the
packet
that
you
provided
jessica,
it
seemed
like
impact
behavioral,
health
and
maybe
trilogy
could
be
eligible
under
these
support
services.
The
way
that
we're
talking
about
them
now,
but
the
other
ones
less.
So
so
I'm
in
support
of
letting
them
know
that,
but
if
certainly
if
they
want
to
apply
for
like
an
rfp
once
that's
developed,
I
think
that's
certainly
possible.
E
A
So
then,
what
we
would
put
on
the
next
agenda
for
the
full
committee
is
that
the
request
that
we
formally
decline
funding
those
just
so
that
it's
clear
to
the
agencies.
You
know
the
ones
that
did
apply
and
not
all
of
them
did
you
know
I
mean
it
was
so
this
would
apply
to
trilogy
northwest
casa
shore
and
youth
job
center.
I
believe
right.
A
Normally,
what
we've
always
done
in
the
past
is
when
we
used
to
have
a
funding
night
where
everybody
applied,
and
then
the
committee
would
make
their
decisions
they
everybody
would
know
right,
then
if
they
were
not
funded,
because
the
committee
would
vote
by
voting
who
to
fund
the
the
people
who
were
not
funded
were
you
know,
knew
that
they
weren't
being
funded,
but
because
we
had
this
other
category
hanging
out
there
right.
A
I
just
think
it,
and-
and
we
don't
want
to-
we-
don't
want
them
to
feel
they're
kept
hanging.
And,
of
course
you
know
we're
still
working
with
many
of
them
with
other
parts
of
our
city,
and
you
know
and
other
things
not
just
through
this
funding
stream.
You
know,
youth
job
center
is
always
working
with
our
youth
services
group,
and
you
know
so.
A
It's
not
like
we're
abandoning
the
agencies
they're
very
much
a
part
of
our
service,
but
I
just
think
it
would
be
clearer,
and
that
would
be
a
good
thing.
So.
B
D
Yeah,
I'm
in
support
of
that
I
have
to
jump
in
a
few
minutes,
but
I
just
wanted
to
say
again
for
me.
I
think
the
way
I
look
at
services
is
always
trying
to
shorten
the
distance
between
where
services
are
and
where
people
are,
and
for
that
reason
you
know,
I
really
support
I
like
to
to
do
things
where
people
already
are
like
it's
already
a
safe
place
for
them
and
they're
seeking
services
there,
which
is
why
I
really
want
to
again
highlight
what
amanda
said
about
telehealth.
I
think
that's
something!
D
That's
that
we
should.
We
should
really
highlight
separate
of
office.
You
know
office
visits
in
their
office
and
separate
from
all
that.
We
should
make
a
clear
distinction
that
we're
all
we're
looking
for
people
to
to
we're
looking
to
understand
how
much
telehealth
and
and
also
site
visits
to
agency
sites
that
people
can
support,
and
it's
okay.
If
it's
like
look,
we
could
do
20
of
that.
Another
80
they'll
have
to
come
to
our
office.
D
We
can
do
half
and
half
like
it's
fine
if
they
can't
do
it,
but
I
would
like
to
clearly
distinguish
those
things
because
they
are
different
and
just
know
how
you
know
if
they
have
the
capacity
to
to
to
do
each
one.
You
know
what
type
of
capacity.
A
They
have
right
right
and
it
may
even
be
you
know
there
could
potentially
even
be
a
different
cost,
because,
let's
face
it
one
of
the
things
about
whenever
you're
traveling
there's
a
going
someplace
there's
a
god.
I
think
that's
a
really
good
idea,
council
member
burns
and
we
can
put
that
what
what
maybe
jessica-
and
I
can
begin
to
do
is
try
to
outline
what
we
would
ask
applicants
for
each
of
the
categories
and
then
I'll
be
frank.
I
would
like
our
practitioners
to.
E
E
So
that's
great
there's
something
to
build
there
and
even
some
ideas
around
maybe
focusing
on
some
of
that
diagnostic
services.
Maybe
somebody
who's
willing
to
provide
some
services
on
site
and
location.
You
know
in
downtown
evanston
or
at
another
agency.
So
that's
great,
I
feel
like
we
have
some
good
things
to
build
upon
and
then
maybe
focusing
on
counseling.
You
know
medication.
You
know
the
way
our
mental
health
system
works
is
that
most
people
do
get
their
medication
through
their
primary
care
doctor.
E
It's
you
know
when
you
have
more
significant,
you
might
be
referred
to
a
specialist
which
would
be
a
psychiatrist
or
a
nurse
practitioner.
So
you
know
we
may
want
to
think
about.
Like
eerie
I
mean
my
problem
is
they're.
Probably
like
filled
to
capacity
is
my
sense.
So
that's
why
you
have
to
kind
of
look
for
new
things,
but
maybe
there's
other
you
know
so
that
that
piece
about
the
medication,
maybe
that's
something
that
with
our
limited
funds,
we
don't
focus
as
much
on.
A
Actually,
amanda,
that's
very
helpful.
It
never
occurred
to
me.
The
thing
about
primary
physicians
are
probably
the
first
that
you
know.
I
I'm
always
thinking
about
getting
a
psychiatrist.
You
know
yeah,
but.
C
Well,
actually,
if
I,
if
I
could
jump
in
and
say,
north
shore
university
health
systems
here
does
have
a
program,
the
bridges
program,
where
they
do
medication
management
and
they
have
a
specific
day.
C
I
think
it's
tuesday,
where
they
work
with
with
participants
who
are
not
insured,
and
I
know
this
because
this
is
where
school
social
workers
send
a
lot
of
referrals
and
moran
center
sends
referral,
and
so
one
of
the
one
of
the
things
that
could
also
potentially
happen
is
that
the
funding
we
have
if
dyn,
if
psychiatric
or
medication
management
services,
was
something
that
the
committee
had
an
interest
in
expanding.
You
know
we
could
work
with
north
shore
university
health
systems
and
the
bridges
program
to
to
see
about
expanding
services.
C
C
Maybe
these
funds
would
be
best
used
by
expanding
the
work
that
some
of
these
partners
are
already
doing
the
the
challenge
and
I
think,
for
the
work.
The
work
of
the
this
body
moving
forward
would
be
to
work
with
staff
to
explore
these
partnerships
and
these
agencies
to
see
and
again
I
don't
want
to
take
away
from
the
rfp.
Maybe
we
put
out
an
rfp,
maybe
we
look
at
expanding
partnerships?
C
Maybe
we
sort
of
do
both
simultaneously
yeah,
but
but
sometimes,
if
it's
just
me
and
sarah,
we
need,
we
need
the
expertise
of
you
amanda.
We
need
dimita,
we
need
cherie,
we
need,
you
know
samantha.
A
I
do
think
this
is
something
where
we
can
kind
of
do
an
outline
for
literally
what
we
might
you
know
and
have
our
practitioners
kind
of
tweak
that,
because
you
know
I
mean
council
members
read
and
burns,
I'm
happy
to
send
it
to
you
both
too.
But
you
know
if
somebody
were
to
send
something
like
that
to
me.
I
would
be
like
I
don't
know.
A
You
may
not
know
much
more
about
it
than
I,
but
but
you
know
that
we,
but
I
think
we
can.
We
can
start
and
and
do
a
sort
of
bullet
point
draft
of
what
things
we
might
think
should
be
asked,
and
then
you
know
we're
not
going
to
write
a
full
and-
and
I
don't
want
to
pretend
that
this
is
going
to
be.
Like
a
true,
you
know,
city
of
evanston,
normal
competitive
rfp,
because
it's
it's
really
a.
A
I
had
to
explain
to
some
of
our
folks
who
are
in
public
works
and
stuff
that
you
know
in
the
nonprofit
world.
You
don't
really
you
don't
try
to
compete.
E
Higher
values
are
yeah.
Well,
I
love
the.
I
love
all
these
ideas
I
feel
like
this
has
been
a
really
productive
meeting
like
just
sharing
all
of
this.
It
sounds
like
we
have
a
nice
kind
of
outline
of
some
ideas
moving
forward
and
just
so
appreciative
of
you,
jessica
and
sarah,
like
being
willing
to
kind
of
break.
D
E
And
create
an
outline
that
we
can,
as
a
larger
committee,
can
consider
also-
and
I
love
the
idea-
and
I
totally
agree
with
what
you
were
saying
jessica
like
if
there's
ways
that
we
can
build
and
expand.
That
is
certainly
easier,
but
we
also
may
need
you
know.
If
people
are
at
capacity,
we
may
need
to
consider
something
larger
and
so
maybe
doing
those
simultaneously
you're,
starting
first
with
the
expansion
question,
and
then
you
know
seeing
where
that
leads
us
for
other
services,
so
yeah.
Thank
you.
C
B
I
I
agree
with
the
idea
that
councilman
burns
had,
which
is
too
especially
in
this
phase,
to
just
learn
so
I'll
I'll.
Second,
that
my
idea.
C
A
Yep,
okay,
we
may
find
that
we
only
have
money
to
effectively
do
two,
but
that
is
an
important
learning
if
we're
finding
that
with
this
much
money
and-
and-
and
I
think
this
is
partly
going
to
be
we're
going
to
have
to
look
at
the
number
of
clients
we're
talking
about-
you
know-
it'll
be
a
little
bit
of
an
it'll,
be
rough
at
this
point,
but
we've
got
to
start.
I
think
it's
absolutely
important
that
we
try
to
learn
from
it.
A
E
Council
member-
I
just
I
noticed
that
you
did
on
mute
yourself
a
couple
of
times.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
you
had
a
chance
to
say
all
the
things
that
you
wanted
to
say.
B
No
trust
me,
I
I'm
affection
or
known
by
bill
smith
is
the
most
vocatious
member
of
the
city
council.
So
no,
if
I
yeah
no,
I
I
have
nothing
to
say:
okay,
you
would.
E
Great
well,
I
know
we're
just
like
winding
down,
I
don't
know
if
there's
any
last
questions
or
thoughts
or
issues
to
discuss
or
anything.
At
this
point.
C
A
When
you
have
a
committee
of
of
eight
and
hopefully
we're
going
to
get
a
ninth
person
assigned
we
keep
asking
like
you
know
we
have
one
vacancy
together,
but
you
know
it's
it's
just
one
of
those
challenges.
It's
it's.
