Amending City Council Rule 6.4 to Address Requested Presentations
on Zoning Matters Pending Before the Planning & Development
Committee
WHEREAS, the City Council amends the City Council Rules and
Organization of the City Council of the City of Evanston ("City Council Rules") from time
to time; and
WHEREAS, currently the City Council Rules do not address presentations
at the Planning & Development Committee that are requested and outside of the normal
public comment; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds it is best to revise the City Council
Rules to provide a clear method for presentations related to zoning matters pending
before the Planning & Development Committee,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF EVANSTON, COOK COUNTY, ILLINOIS:
SECTION 1. Rule 6.4 within the "Citizen Participation" section of the City
Council Rules is hereby amended to read as follows:
6.4 A person invited to address the Council as specified herein, when accorded the
floor, shall limit comments to include items within the jurisdiction of the Evanston City
Council as determined by the Mayor and be governed by these rules to the extent
applicable. Any person who requests to use audio/visual equipment during their
comments at City Council committee meetings shall first receive permission from the
Committee Chair prior to such use. For matters before the Planning & Development
Committee, the petitioner may provide a brief presentation, no more than 10 minutes, to
the Committee of its project and application, with advance notice to the City Manager's
Office by 12:00 p.m. the day of the meeting. If there are objectors to the application for
11-R-20
zoning, they may collectively address the Committee with a 10 minute presentation, also
with advance notice to the City Manager's Office by 12:00 p.m. the day of the meeting.
Any presentation cannot constitute a hearing or an opportunity for testimony or cross
examination of witnesses and other evidence.
SECTION 2. That this Resolution 11-R-20 shall be in full force and effect
from and after its passage and approval in the manner provided by law.
