ABSENT: Alderman Wynne PRESIDING: Mayor Lorraine H. Morton The OFFICIAL REGULAR MEETING of the City Council was called to order by Mayor Morton on Monday, January 9, 2006, at 9:12 p.m. in the Council Chamber. ANNOUNCEMENTS: Finance Director Bill Stafford announced that the next day, January 10 at 5:00 p.m., was the deadline for buying and displaying the City of Evanston vehicle sticker. Public Works Director David Jennings announced that refuse/recycling pickups next week would be Tuesday-Friday collection instead of Monday-Thursday due to the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday observance. Parks/Forestry & Recreation Director Doug Gaynor announced that Christmas tree pickups would continue on the same days as refuse/recycling collection through January 26. All decorations should be removed and trees placed on the parkway not wrapped in plastic. Mr. Gaynor announced that NBC Channel 5 will visit the Levy Center on Wednesday on assistance provided by the Levy Center on the Medicare Drug D program. Charles Smith, representing the Evanston Environmental Association (EEA), thanked all who contributed to the $750,000 addition to the Ecology Center which was begun in 2001. The City assisted with funds and a payment of $31,000 was made this year with one more payment, then the debt will be retired. He invited all to visit the facility; thanked the City, EEA members, and Ecology Center staff. City Manager Julia Carroll thanked Assistant Corporation Counsel Kathleen Brenniman who is retiring for her years of work and dedication to the City of Evanston. CITIZEN COMMENT: Jill Sager, 614 Clark St., External Relations Chair for Northwestern student government said they were talking about making changes to mitigate unintended results from the liquor ordinance passed in the fall and the decline of funds from fundraisers from Northwestern students. Many fundraisers are done in Evanston bars by students groups. In the past these events have included persons under 21-years of age and did not end at midnight. She urged them not to be bogged down in discussions of underage drinking, which they don’t support and not lose sight of Northwestern students’ generosity. She asked Council to pass Ordinance 128-O-05. Jon Kent, 2324 Campus Dr., City Council Liaison for Associated Student Government, spoke as a student and community member; said they were aware of the stance that Council took in passing the liquor ordinance in the fall to deal with underage drinking. The proposed amendment allows limited events that have structure and purpose. It was unfair to pit the students against the City and make it an argument against underage drinking. Nobody is for underage drinking. They want the opportunity to work with Council and recognize their responsibilities as citizens and reserve their right to partake in policy that benefits them and the community. He noted that a member of the Illinois Secretary of 2 January 9, 2006 State’s office will visit NU to speak about the consequences of using a fake ID. After these meetings, he asked why 12:00 midnight is the magic number and urged Council consider the amendment. Ben Woo, 1709 Ridge Ave., executive co-chair of Dance Marathon, one of the largest student philanthropies in the nation, said a year of fund-raising culminates in students dancing for 30-hours. More than 400 committee members support this effort and put in 50,000 hours of work each year. Dance Marathon has raised more than $7 million in the past 31 years. Last year $625,000 was raised. This year’s beneficiaries are Pediatric Aids Chicago Prevention and Initiative and the Evanston Community Foundation. Many students are enthusiastic about the cause and have a good time as well. Scott Glazier, 2137 Maple Ave., Dance Marathon board member, is a senior and has attended many fund-raising events. He reported on how the liquor ordinance had hurt fundraising. In May an event started at 10:00 p.m. until 1:00 a.m. and raised $500. In November an event started at 8:00 p.m., ended before midnight and raised only $150. The difference was the time. They have events coming up that raise between $6-8,000. Doing the math shows they would be limited to $2- 3,000. He said that most NU students cannot come at 8:00 p.m. They are busy with athletics, the arts, and the library. They spend $20 an hour to make sure IDs are checked and the bartender checks wristbands. They take precautions to prevent underage drinking and plan to continue. Cecilia Byrne, 1815 Gaffield Pl., executive co-chair of Dance Marathon, stated that the Evanston Community Foundation was chosen to be their secondary beneficiary in 1998. Since then, their involvement has expanded. This year they increased the Evanston Community Foundation portion to 10%. In the fall they had a successful art show in conjunction with Illinois Arts Week. They had a Lincoln School Jamboree and kids fair. They volunteer regularly at Evanston Community Foundation grantee organizations and plan a swing night at the Mather home. She read excerpts from an Evanston Community Foundation letter expressing appreciation for Dance Marathon’s contribution. Gerald McClenden, 2522 Jarvis, Chicago, self-employed painter, has problems with the Evanston parking laws. He had to come to a hearing on a parking and towing matter, yet the parties who wrote the ticket and towed his vehicle were not present. He told his story to the judge who told him he had to pay the fine. He got a ticket for parking in a handicapped spot recently, which was unintentional, and got a $250 ticket. He noted the sign posted states the fine was $100. Mayor Morton suggested that the signs simply have not been updated. Alderman Bernstein urged that the City Manager to look into the matter and, if the sign was posted at $100, that the Corporation Counsel investigate. Jonathan Love, 655 University Pl., read a letter on behalf of Tommy Nevin’s Pub. “We at Tommy Nevin’s Pub have always made a concerted effort to keep minors out of the pub area after 9:00 p.m. We do not allow anyone under 21 years of age in the pub after 9:00 p.m. This policy is flexible only for a private event. If event planners ask to have minors in their banquet space after 9:00 p.m., they asked that they pay for additional security personnel that they have to have on the premises for such an event. All individuals entering the room are carded and they identify those over 21 and those under 21. With that said, with his two years as part owner and general manager, I have never had an issue with underage drinking with an NU sponsored event or fundraiser. Those attending these events are not out looking to get drunk. They, instead, are being pro-active and helping the community. Many of these events are fund-raisers for local causes such as the HIV-Aids Literacy organization and the American Cancer Society. It was his hope that these individuals are rewarded with their trust for their hard work and commitment to the community. If there are concerns, call him at 847-869-0450 or email at tommynevins.com. Sincerely, Rohit Sahastal, partner and general manager.” Jay Schumacher, 2341 Sheridan Rd., executive vice president, Associated Student Government, works with 66 recognized student groups. The majority of organizations on campus have some participation in community service or philanthropic activity. Some 77% of students are involved in some extracurricular activity. NU has a stringent recognition process. To become a recognized organization of the university, there are several layers of bureaucracy and his organization is one. Some criteria include uniqueness, whether the NU community is benefited and whether value is added to the overall community. In addition, professional staff sits on his committee and advise them on decisions that they make. He urged Council to support doing good things for the community. 3 January 9, 2006 Frances Seidman, 600 South Blvd., asked why kids have to hang out in bars and drink. She did not think bars provided a good atmosphere for college age students. If they want to do wonderful things, go do them but what has that to do with spending time until 3:00 a.m. in a bar. It made no sense to her. Alcoholism is an addiction. Some people have addictive personalities and don’t know that when they first start to consume alcohol. If she was a parent spending the kind of money it takes to have a student at NU, she would be put out if that was how her child was spending evenings. And if they want to make a contribution, she would participate with them and do it together. Patrick Keenan-Devlin, 813 Foster St., has checked with his parents about this issue and they wished him good luck. They understand why fundraisers are held in these settings. Part of the fund-raising experience is to venture to a location out of the norm. Fundraisers that target an older group are held in hotels, which students cannot afford. Students go to bars. The selection of bar vs. café allows for more conversation space. He quoted the Chicago Tribune, “kicking them out of public establishments at midnight or any hour presumes they are there to break the law. Does it tax the imagination too much that the music, the company of other young people, and all the other things that constitute that first heady taste of grown-up nightlife might be a sufficient draw even if you are drinking a soda.” He tended to agree with the Tribune. As president of the NU student body, he stated that philanthropy is an important priority. About 40% of students are involved in community service or philanthropic organizations. These volunteers come from a variety of organizations that require funds to function. The fundraisers work because they are controlled. The host may not drink alcohol. Wristbands are used and those 21 and older can purchase only one drink at a time. The B1 establishments monitor all attendees. He asked that fundraisers be continued because it benefits Evanston to support philanthropically involved NU students. Alderman Rainey noted in the same editorial, that the Tribune indicated wristbands are meaningless. Virginia L. Beatty, 1509 Forest Ave., stated that anyone who wants to know what is planned for the gardens of the Georgian or the Mather may call her (listed under William Beatty) and she would share what will happen to all the trees. As an Illinois Tree expert and a certified arborist, she asked what will happen to all the parkway trees? She noted that the roof garden now on the Georgian won’t be on the new building. She raised these issues and wanted all to have a full write up of her concerns.

Alderman Rainey congratulated the Mayor on these appointments and asked that when the Mayor appoints to the Zoning Board of Appeals to consider appointing individuals from the 60202 zip code, citing differences in the north and south end of town. Motion carried unanimously. Mayor Morton asked that the following reappointments be confirmed: Nancy Yalowitz Commission on Aging 1700 Hinman Ave. For term ending January 15, 2009 Gilbert Krulee Mental Health Board 1305 Grant St. 6 January 9, 2006 For term ending January 15, 2010 Randy Walker Mental Health Board 829 Foster St. For term ending January 15, 2010 Geraldine Macsai Public Art Committee 1501 Hinman Ave. For term ending January 15, 2009 * APPROVED - CONSENT AGENDA REPORT OF THE STANDING COMMITTEES ADMINISTRATION & PUBLIC WORKS: Ordinance 128-O-05 – Exceptions to the Limitations of the Presence of Minors at Certain Licensed Establishments – Consideration of proposed Ordinance 128-O-05, that amends Section 3-5-11 (F) of the City Code, providing exceptions to the limitation of the presence of minors at B1 liquor license establishments. Alderman Jean-Baptiste moved approval of Ordinance 128-O-05. Seconded by Alderman Bernstein. Alderman Rainey reported that both the Chicago Tribune and the Evanston Review editorials stated that minors should be allowed in bars until 3:00 a.m. She reviewed the amendment carefully. One issue is that the sponsoring organization will be denied the right to future fundraisers for a year if one underage person is caught drinking. She suggested it was time for licensees to take responsibility for underage drinking in their establishments. Alderman Rainey moved to amend the ordinance to include a provision, whether a minor is at a fundraiser or not, that an establishment with three violations for underage drinking, have their right to hold fundraisers be taken away for one year. Seconded by Alderman Bernstein. Alderman Bernstein agreed with Alderman Rainey, noted the ordinance says that the Liquor Commission may revoke the liquor dealer’s license and asked if limiting a particular bar for one year for fundraisers was a contradiction. Mayor Morton said it was not necessary to put penalties in on violation of the liquor laws that are in state statute. Alderman Bernstein was talking about modifying a current ordinance that creates a special situation. First Assistant Corporation Counsel Herb Hill stated there is consistency and the amendment was acceptable. Alderman Rainey recommended that this amendment be in effect for six months, which she discussed with Alderman Wollin. Alderman Rainey said the responsibility of students is to make sure they follow the law, because if they don’t, their organization cannot hold a fundraiser for a year. The ordinance also speaks to the owner of the establishments to be vigilant. A large responsibility is placed on both parties and if nobody breaks the law, then the bar makes money and the students raise money. Alderman Tisdahl suggested to students that hold fundraisers to be aware if a bar has two violations and make a reservation at another bar. Alderman Rainey withdrew the recommended six months and asked that it be sunset in one year. The sunset provision will give Council the opportunity to review the process. Mr. Hill suggested the language in the ordinance read that it would be null and void after January 9, 2007 unless there was an affirmative vote of the City Council to maintain it. He suggested a report be made in nine months to the A&PW Committee. The last sentence in paragraph (F) was eliminated. Roll call on the amendment. Voting aye –Wollin, Jean-Baptiste, Bernstein, Holmes, Tisdahl, Rainey. Voting nay – Moran, Hansen. Motion carried (6-2). Alderman Hansen said Council has heard a lot about how committed NU students are to philanthropic endeavors. She did not question organizers present on their commitment, but questioned following other students, when Council was told after the liquor ordinance was passed Dance Marathon only raised $150. That remark made her wonder how committed 7 January 9, 2006 NU students are to these philanthropic events. The law does not say one cannot have a fundraiser in a B1 establishment, it just says minors cannot be in a B1 establishment after midnight and applies only to five establishments. She was not far removed from being under 21; has lived in communities where she could not go into a bar because she was under 21 and some friends could, so she went elsewhere to be with her friends and suggested they could go elsewhere. Since this ordinance was passed in November, they have not had a chance to see how it works. She urged them to give this ordinance a chance to work before amending it. Alderman Rainey agreed with Alderman Hansen. She noted the Daily NU that day had an article headlined “Amorous students pair up to support the Dolphin Show,” which made $1,500 at Café Ambrosia (no liquor license). The party was held from 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. She also pointed out an inaccurate Daily article on the terms of the ordinance. Roll call on the amended ordinance. Voting aye –Wollin, Jean-Baptiste, Bernstein, Holmes, Moran, Tisdahl, Rainey. Voting nay – Hansen. Motion carried (7-1). PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT: Ordinance 139-O-05 – Amends the Affordable Housing Demolition Tax Ordinance – Consideration of proposed Ordinance 139-O-05, introduced December 12, 2005, which would amend the Affordable Housing Demolition Tax Ordinance, Section 4-20-3(D) – refund of demolition tax. Alderman Rainey reported that this item was held in committee. Ordinance 5-O-06 – Planned Development – Mather LifeWays, 1615 Hinman Ave./422 Davis St. – Consideration of the Plan Commission recommendation to approve a planned development for Mather LifeWays, to construct in two phases, 2245 independent living residences, plus 24 assisted living and 40 long-term care residences, with underground parking for 249 vehicles. This item was held in committee. Alderman Rainey reported at the January 23 P&D Committee meeting the committee would deliberate on the Mather and affected neighbors. There will be no testimony from the general public. Resolution 3-R-06 – Adopting the Manual of Design Guidelines – Consideration of a recommendation from the Plan Commission to adopt the Manual of Design Guidelines. Alderman Rainey reported that this item was held in committee. OTHER COMMITTEES: Resolution 6-R-06 – Reallocation of Unspent CDBG Funds – Consideration of proposed Resolution 6- R-06, which amends the 2004 Community Development Block Grant program and authorizes the reallocation of unexpended funds. Alderman Rainey moved approval of Resolution 6-R-06. Seconded by Alderman Bernstein. Alderman Moran wanted to know more about this and asked that it be held until the next meeting. Alderman Rainey offered to answer any questions; said these are funds that were allocated but never spent. So they won’t lose the funds, they add them to the current year. Mayor Morton asked what the federal government does with unexpended funds? Alderman Rainey said if not used within a certain time period, the federal government wants them returned, but there are so many needs these funds are never turned back. CDBG Coordinator Sally Lufkin explained that these are unexpended funds for the year from administrative budgets that are available to be used for other CDBG activities. This was a pool of funds, available in November that will be added to the federal allocation in the next year. Roll call. Voting aye –Wollin, Jean-Baptiste, Bernstein, Holmes, Moran, Tisdahl, Rainey, Hansen. Voting nay – none. Motion carried (8-0). 8 January 9, 2006 Resolution 8-R-06 – Amendment to Council Rules – Consideration of proposed Resolution 8-R-06, which amends the Rules and Organization of the City Council. Alderman Moran moved approval. Seconded by Alderman Bernstein. Alderman Rainey said additional rules were made at the December Rules Committee meeting. She was not present and wanted to read the minutes before voting. Alderman Rainey asked that Resolution 8-R-06 be held. Seconded by Alderman Bernstein. At the request of two aldermen, Resolution 8-R-06 was held. Alderman Moran moved to approve the destruction of Closed Session audiotapes for the period January to April 2004. Seconded by Alderman Rainey. Alderman Rainey asked why the tapes were being destroyed. City Manager Carroll explained that the City is required to keep them for only 18 months after starting to record in January 2004, according to state statute. Because there are minutes there is no need to keep the audiotapes. Voice vote. Motion carried unanimously. CALL OF THE WARDS: 1st Ward. No report. 2nd Ward. Alderman Jean-Baptiste recalled when they worked 1228 Emerson, they had asked U.S. Equities to look at the pro forma to confirm that what was advanced was true. 3rd Ward. No report. 4th Ward. Alderman Bernstein praised the 9th Ward newsletter sent out by Alderman Hansen.
