Alderman Wollin PRESIDING: Mayor Lorraine H. Morton The OFFICIAL REGULAR MEETING of the City Council was called to order by Mayor Morton on Monday, November 13, 2006, at 9:33 p.m. in the Council Chamber. ANNOUNCEMENTS: Public Works Director David Jennings announced that due to the Thanksgiving Holiday, Thursday’s refuse, recycling and yard waste collection would be done on Saturday. He reported that yard waste collection would continue through November 30 and yard waste drop off ends December 10, 2006. Mr. Jennings announced a community snow meeting would be held Thursday, November 30 at 6:00 p.m. in the Council Chamber to talk about snow parking regulations. Awards for the First Annual Painting Evanston Plows will be presented. Presentation – Studs Terkel Award Mayor Morton announced Susan Manning had received the Studs Terkel Award from the Illinois Humanities Council. This award is given to individuals who have fostered activity related to the humanities that have enriched community life. Because Ms. Manning was in the hospital, Judy Kemp accepted the award on her behalf. Cheryl Odom from the Illinois Humanities Council also was present. Mayor Morton congratulated City Manager Julia Carroll for becoming a Credentialed Manager with the International City/County Management Association (ICMA) through education and experience in professional local government management, adherence to high standards of integrity and commitment to lifelong learning and professional development. Mayor Morton proclaimed November Homelessness Awareness Month Mayor Morton proclaimed November 28, 2006 American Association of University Women’s Day The City of Evanston was recognized with a plaque from the National League of Cities for 35 years of membership and dedicated service COMMUNICATIONS: None CITIZEN COMMENT: Gerald M. Gordon, 1228 Lake St., commented on the 2006 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, noting the General Fund unreserved fund balance increased by $3.6 million to $18.4 million. The Council’s fund balance policy requires an unreserved fund balance of $7.1 million. The unreserved fund balance as of February 28, 2006, exceeded the required fund balance by $11.3 million and was 2.6 times larger than was required. He urged that this excessive unreserved fund 2 November 13, 2006 balance be returned to taxpayers by re-allocation to reduce or eliminate tax increases. Re-allocation of fund balances used to be a regular part of the budget process several years ago. The Water Fund balance increased by $3.4 million to $54.7 million even after net transfers out of $2.4 million. He saw room to increase transfers from the Water Fund to the General Fund to further alleviate the need to increase taxes. The Sewer Fund balance increased by $3.4 million to $84.6 million. He suggested some of these funds also be transferred to the General Fund or be used to reduce sewer charges. He asked what does the October Interim Financial Report indicate about FY 2006. What is the City’s job vacancy experience during this current year? Each vacant budgeted Full Time Employee (FTE), including all fringe costs, takes on average, about $80,000 per year from the taxpayer and produces $80,000 unexpected revenue (unspent allocated expenditures) that goes directly to the fund balance, which is already too large. The budget is always predicated on budgeted FTE’s whether they are full or empty. Each unfilled FTE produces an unnecessary tax increase of $80,000. Budget Memo #25, February 1, 2006, showed that as of March 1, 2005, there were 31 positions vacant. Nine of those vacancies were unfilled all of FY2006 and cost the taxpayers about $720,000. Those funds went directly into the General Fund balance. There is an opportunity to reduce budgeted FTE’s by attrition. A 2-3% reduction of budgeted FTE’s by attrition could save enough budgeted expenditures to eliminate most of the anticipated FY2008 shortfall. He urged Council to look carefully at re-allocating fund balances and entire staffing levels before increasing taxes or fees. Sue Carlson, 2679 Stewart Ave., an affordable housing advocate, worked actively to pass the referendum to increase the real estate transfer tax for affordable housing. She was keenly disappointed that the referendum failed but credited Evanston voters with a remarkable sense of selflessness and generosity as nearly 50% voted “yes,” despite the referendum’s flaws and the current tenuous real estate market. Advocates heard repeatedly “how would this money be used?” She advised that, with the right preparation, Council could take steps for a successful referendum in two years. Alderman Wollin has talked about a trust fund. She suggested that the name Affordable Housing Tax Fund be eliminated and instead be called Affordable Housing Trust Fund, which suggests that it will be well designed and managed. A trust fund can be designed to accept property and other resources from public and private sources, which gives it a big advantage over a tax fund. She pointed out Council had already taken the first step by providing for ongoing sources of revenue for affordable housing through the Demolition Tax, the Inclusionary Housing ordinance and, potentially, through the Real Estate Transfer Tax. A second step would be to assign the Housing Commission to develop guidelines for this trust fund by determining priorities for use of its funds, establishing policies for disbursement and developing processes for accountability to the public and elected officials. She urged that Evanston join the other 300 communities that have determined that a trust fund is a versatile and reliable vehicle to help advance their affordable housing goals. Ted Zalesiak, 2253 Sheridan Rd., commended Council for declaring November Homelessness month. When he came to here a year ago he was impressed by how beautiful Evanston ‘s residential and commercial areas are but felt a spot with its homelessness and the panhandling that goes on in front of downtown businesses such as CVS on Sherman and Buffalo Joe’s on Clark, both popular with students. It is frustrating to go into these establishments with somebody standing in front asking for money. He normally refuses; sometimes is treated quite rudely by these individuals or deterred from entering. While homelessness and panhandling cannot be eliminated, he urged that there be some type of restriction on panhandling in front of commercial businesses. He understood that free speech is involved in asking strangers for money, but felt it causes a significant economic downturn for businesses. He suggested a 20-foot restriction in front of all commercial establishments in downtown Evanston. He felt it was a smudge on an otherwise wonderful community. Frances Seidman, 600-E South Blvd., spoke about affordable housing. She thought the transfer tax referendum did well considering that it was a “pig in a poke.” There was no plan or vision, just the prospect of an increased tax. In this month’s Sentinel there was an article about affordable housing. It mentioned the 800 pound black gorilla in the room, Darrow Corners. She agreed with most of the article but disagreed with the conclusion that the project was rejected because it would house black families. She lived through the redevelopment of Hyde Park. There was a saying that it was the black and white united together against the poor. She thought that happened at Darrow Corners. The people who testified on that proposal all had one thing in common -- they were fixed on the money to be made in that part of town. Now we have had multiple meetings and consultants, which apparently we can afford as we face a budget that is a major disaster and will develop every inch of the West Side TIF. There was not one word about affordable housing in that area or maybe a few acres set aside for the Lighthouse Land Trust, which is a good idea. At the P&D Committee they still don’t have a plan for affordable housing. There is staff that presumably could provide some leadership and good people with expertise in various areas. Will this require that they hire more consultants to tell them how to do this? Do they need another task force to put their eggs in one basket and not look at the range of possibilities for affordable housing? It 3 November 13, 2006 seems the more upscale they build, the poorer the community is. It does not seem like much of a sacrifice to make room for people with low to moderate incomes that need nice places to live. She stated the City needs a plan to catch the imagination of the community; something interesting that involves non-profit agencies such as HODC and others so they can have something special. If they could do that, they might get a nice article in the Chicago Tribune.

Funding provided by the Capital Improvement Program ($61,000) and ETHS ($30,500). Seconded by Alderman Rainey. Alderman Jean-Baptiste stated that not enough has been invested in crime prevention with jailing of more people in the community. Enforcement activities by the Police Department have not resulted in a drop in crime here. A number of youth continue to go astray. Those who return from incarceration are not helped to re-direct their lives away from a life of crime. He did not suggest the Council was responsible for this. Many are fighting for stable communities. All are parents who try to raise good kids. He suggested no matter how much technology, crime still exists in communities. He asked them to focus on prevention and not put money into cameras, which move crime one location to another. Alderman Rainey stated that no one thinks that cameras are the solution to crime in the community. They are one of many tools. A solution to crime would be if people who live here respected one another and their property; noted the cameras are of no use unless they are monitored. The camera at Howard/Custer has been very helpful. In addition to catching people, it is a preventative tool by giving people pause. With so many eyes on the street the cameras help. She urged support. Roll call. Voting aye – Wynne, Holmes, Moran, Tisdahl, Rainey, Hansen, Wollin. Voting nay – Jean-Baptiste, Bernstein. Motion carried (7-2). Alderman Holmes reported that the Streets & Sanitation Division presentation to eliminate night sweeping on most 7 November 13, 2006 residential streets and cleaning during daytime hours only was excellent. The matter was held in committee. PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT: Plat of Resubdivision – 1037-1041 Florence Ave. – Proposed plat of resubdivision into two lots for an existing single-family residence and a two-family residential building. Alderman Jean-Baptiste reported this item was held in committee. The Law Department was asked to mediate between the property owner and the neighbor. Ordinance 87-O-06 – Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment – Solar Panels – Consideration of Ordinance 87-O-06, a Plan Commission recommendation, introduced August 14, 2006, to amend Chapter 4 “General Provisions,” Chapter 18 “Definitions,” 6-4-6-3 and the creation of Section 6-4-6-8 to address the location size and appearance of solar collectors. Alderman Jean-Baptiste reported that Ordinance 87-O-06 was held and the Community Development Director was asked to convene a meeting of the Subcommittee on Zoning of the Plan Commission, Energy Commission, Environment Board and Preservation Commission to help make a decision. The committee supports the use of solar panels. HUMAN SERVICES: Alderman Tisdahl announced a Human Services Committee meeting on Monday, November 20 at 7:00 p.m. to be held in the Council Chamber. CALL OF THE WARDS: 2nd Ward. Alderman Jean-Baptiste supported the proposal from Sue Carlson to persevere in efforts to get the affordable housing policy in a shape that the community can support. He thought the referendum failed because they did not have enough time to educate the community about it. He hoped to put the referendum back on the ballot in the future. He supports the Housing Commission setting up guidelines for the use of trust funds for affordable housing. He said there are many in the community that have perspectives on this. He reminded listeners that at the Human Services Committee meeting on Monday November 20 youth in the community will be discussed. Services providers will explain what they do and will be engaged in discussion as to whether they deliver what they say they are. Council will look critically at funding given by CDBG and to the Mental Health Board. 3rd Ward. Alderman Wynne congratulated Susan Manning, who has done a lot for the community. She recognized Junior Wildkit Football, a program similar to FAMM. It is 12 weeks of dedication by at least 15 coaches giving 20 hours a week of volunteer service. The goal is character building. She said it is a terrific program. 4th Ward. Alderman Bernstein asked the City Manager to respond to Gerald Gordon’s letter with copies to the Council. He attended the Bo Price celebration at Fleetwood-Jourdain. Alderman Bernstein invited all to the Citizens Police Academy graduation Thursday November 16 at the Ecology Center 5th Ward. Alderman Holmes said that coach Craig Thompson came up with the idea of Junior Wildkit Football. Her grandson attended and she hoped it would continue. She and Alderman Tisdahl attended the Homelessness Month kickoff on Friday. She hoped Council could find ways to support Connections for the Homeless, which is leading that charge. Alderman Holmes reported that Mayor Morton and she were present on October 29 for the dedication of the Battered 8 November 13, 2006 Woman’s Shelter to Mary Lou Sain, which was wonderful and she offered congratulations. She invited all to a 5th Ward meeting on Thursday, 7:00 p.m. at Fleetwood-Jourdain Community Center. 6th Ward. Alderman Moran was disappointed the referendum did not pass but was encouraged because close to 50% of voters said “yes” to an increase for affordable housing. It says to him that people care and are willing to dip into their pockets to help out. He agreed that the run-up on the referendum was short and many people spent a lot of time advocating and educating. He thought when they come up with guidelines for a trust fund, they will cross the goal line. During the A&PW Committee meeting there seemed to be consensus to not have night street sweeping when the new plan is adopted. Both Alderman Tisdahl and he are delighted because those trucks come through the 6th and 7th wards and wake people up. 7th Ward. Alderman Tisdahl reported that the NU/Ohio State football game was difficult for portions of the 7th Ward. There was a great deal of drinking, some of it starting at 7:00 a.m. Neighbors were threatened physically, garbage strewn all over, more police presence was needed and may need sanitation to clean up after games. She recommended Council look at taxing tickets more heavily so costs are covered. This kind of behavior cannot be tolerated anywhere in Evanston. She hoped they look at requiring Port-a- Potty fixtures for all tailgating parties. 8th Ward. Alderman Rainey commented that the monthly report on the real estate state tax showed $100,000 over the average monthly amount to be collected. If they had the additional $1 per $1,000 for affordable housing, they would have generated $665,580 in 10 months. During this month alone, they would have generated $118,969. She urged them to keep their eyes on the prize. She did not think the design of this program should rest with the Housing Commission; rather they should draw upon all parts of the community. She hoped the Council would consider a Blue Ribbon Committee at the next Rules Committee meeting and suggested that each Council member submit several names. Alderman Rainey noted the city’s Financial Report for 2006 is on the website and encouraged people to read it. 9th Ward. Alderman Hansen was asked by a resident if anyone could voluntarily give money to the City. She responded with “yes” and the resident suggested that those who support affordable housing voluntarily give funds. She invited anyone who wants to contribute toward affordable housing to do so. 1st Ward. Alderman Wollin said there would be meeting on November 30 at the Civic Center in Room 2200 for neighbors of the Mather to talk about the beginning of the demolition which will start immediately after the New Year. She congratulated Alderman Rainey on the groundbreaking for the Bristol development, which was well attended in spite of bad weather. Alderman Wollin reported attending a fundraiser yesterday for the Center for Independent’s Futures for over 300 at Prairie Moon for people who need help to live independently. Next Sunday from 3-5 p.m. there will be a reception for those people who plan to buy into the Sienna project. City Manager Carroll noted that Alderman Jean-Baptiste recommended referring guidelines for spending affordable housing money to the Housing Commission. Alderman Rainey recommended this matter be taken to the Rules Committee. That will be on the agenda of the December 4 Rules Committee meeting. Mayor Morton asked for a list of all funds that go for housing for the December 4 Rules Committee meeting. At 10:40 p.m., Alderman Bernstein moved that Council convene into Closed Session for the purpose of discussing matters related to real estate, litigation and closed session minutes pursuant to 5 Illinois Compiled Statutes 120/2 (c ) (5), (11) and (21). Seconded by Alderman Hansen. 2. All meetings of public bodies shall be public meetings except for the following: 9 November 13, 2006 (5) The purchase or lease of real property for the use of the public body, including meetings held for the purpose of discussing whether a particular parcel should be acquired. (11) Litigation, when an action against, affecting or on behalf of the particular public body has been filed and is pending before a court or administrative tribunal, or when the public body finds that an action is probable or imminent, in which case the basis for the finding shall be recorded and entered into the minutes of the closed meeting. (21) Discussion of minutes of meetings lawfully closed under this Act, whether for purposes of approval by the body of the minutes or semi-annual review of the minutes as mandated by Section2.06. Roll call. Voting aye – Jean-Baptiste, Wynne, Bernstein, Holmes, Moran, Tisdahl, Rainey, Hansen, Wollin. Voting nay – none. Motion carried (9-0). There being no further business to come before the Council, Mayor Morton asked for a motion to adjourn and the Council so moved at 11:18 p.m. Mary P. Morris, City Clerk A videotape recording of this meeting has been made part of the permanent record and is available in the City Clerk’s office.
