CC: Johanna Leonard, Community Development Director
Subject: Ordinance 141-O-19, Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a
Lease of City-Owned Real Property Located at 633 Howard Street with
633 Outpost, LLC, doing business as “Estación”
Date: November 18, 2019
Recommended Action:
The Economic Development Committee recommends City Council adoption of Ordinance
141-O-19 authorizing the City Manager to negotiate the lease of City-owned property located
at 633 Howard Street.
Council Action:
For Action
Summary:
Marcos Rivera, General Manager and owner of Libertad Restaurant in Skokie, and business
partner Arturo Orozco, Jr. have submitted a letter of intent and proposal to open a new casual
restaurant in the City-owned property located at 633 Howard Street to be called Estación.
The space was most recently occupied by Café Coralie, and previously the Evanston Police
Outpost.
Mr. Rivera had expressed interest in a Howard Street expansion several years ago, but put
the plans on hold while focusing on other busin ess interests. Recently, Mr. Rivera and
partner Piloto Nieves announced plans to open Zentli, a full service restaurant with a focus on
Mexican culture and art in the recently closed Curt’s Café south location on Dempster Street
just east of Dodge Avenue.
Mr. Rivera plans to offer breakfast, lunch and dinner, with weekend brunch. The restaurant
will use the kitchen equipment installed by the previous tenant, but will make improvements
to the space to increase its appeal to a broader clientele. He intends to be open in time for
New Year’s Day 2020 Brunch.
SP1.Page 7 of 253
Mr. Rivera is interested in purchasing the property and sought 100% of the rent rebated as a
contribution to purchase price to be established in the future. However, staff recommends a
maximum rebate of $39,600 - less than 50% of rent paid. Mr. Rivera is also seeking a
$10,000 tenant improvement contribution to improve the space for a full service restaurant.
The draft lease and terms are attached and summarized as follows:
$2,500 monthly rent. No abatement period.
• Option to purchase with six months’ notice within first 36 months
• Rebate up to $39,600 toward purchase of property
• Tenant improvement allowance of $10,000 to improve space/create additional dining
room space
• Tenant pays all property taxes and utilities - staff will immediately notify the Cook
County Assessor
Background:
Upon Café Coralie’s lease termination on July 7, 2019, City staff placed a For Lease/Sale
sign (attached) in the storefront windows resulting in numerous inquiries. Additional inquiries,
including Mr. Rivera’s, came as a result of local media coverage of the previous tenant’s
closure.
Mr. Rivera’s unsolicited proposal fulfills the long desired goal of an all-day restaurant concept
on Howard Street, unlike any proposal received in recent years. His success with Libertad
suggests he and his partners are capable of success at 633 Howard.
According to Section 1-17-4-1 of the City Code, the City Council may lease real estate for any
term not exceeding ninety-nine (99) years when, in its opinion, use of such real estate by the
City is no longer necessary, appropriate, required for the use o f, profitable to, or for the best
interest of the City. On all such leases, this power shall be exercised by an ordinance passed
by a two-thirds vote of the elected Aldermen of the City then holding office at any regular or
any special meeting called for that purpose.
Staff has conducted initial due diligence including credit verification and contacted Village of
Skokie staff to learn about Mr. Rivera’s relationship with the community and Skokie grant
performance.

Economic Development Committee recommended approval 5-0 on September 25, 2019.

without limitation, permits and approvals required from any agency or body administering
environmental laws, rules or regulations, and taking into account the time necessary to
effectuate a satisfactory settlement with any insurance company) repair such damage at
Landlord’s expense and this Lease must not terminate. If the foregoing damage is due to the
negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, then Landlord must look first to the insurance

the realty upon being attached to the Premises, following a Casualty, the Landlord must be
responsible only for restoring the Premises to building standard levels of improvement at the

whatsoever, then all Fixed Minimum Rent and Additional Rent must abate for the period

Premises are so rendered untenantable but the damage does not prevent Tenant from
utilizing the Property for its Permitted Use, the Fixed Minimum Rent and Additional Rent

to the total area of the Premises; provided, however, that if, prior to the date when all of the
damage has been repaired, any part of the Premises so damaged are rendered tenantable and
must be used or occupied by or through Tenant, then the amount by which the Fixed
Minimum Rent and Additional Rent abates must be apportioned for the period from the
date of such use or occupancy to the date when all the damage has been repaired.
(b) Repair to Leasehold Improvements. Landlord must have no obligation to repair damage to
or to replace any leasehold improvements, Tenant’s personal property or any other property located
in the Premises, and Tenant must within sixty (60) days after the Premises is sufficiently repaired so
as to permit the commencement of work by Tenant, commence to repair, reconstruct and restore or
replace the Premises (including fixtures, furnishings and equipment) and prosecute the same
diligently to completion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant’s Fixed Minimum Rent and
Additional Rent must continue to be abated as provided in Section 9(a) above, until the Property is
once again suitable for its Permitted Use.
(c) Termination Right. Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, Tenant
must have the option and right to terminate this Lease if, (a) the Premises must be so damaged by

damage; (b) during the last eighteen (18) months of the Term of this Lease, the Premises is damaged

Premises for their Permitted Use, provided that, in such event, such termination of this Lease must
be effected by written notice within ninety (90) days of the happening of the Casualty causing such
damage. This provision must expressly survive the termination or expiration of this Lease.

contrary contained herein, Landlord and Tenant hereby release and waive any and all rights of
recovery, claim, action or cause of action, against the other, or its respective directors, shareholders,

provisions of the Lease, no insurer of a party hereunder must ever hold or be entitled to any claim,
demand or cause of action against Tenant by virtue of a claim of loss paid under any such insurance
policies, whether such insurer’s claim be in the nature of subrogation or otherwise. The waivers

terminate this Lease by written notice to Tenant, which written notice must specify a date for such
termination at least fifteen (15) days after the date of such written termination notice and such
termination must be effective as provided in such written notice unless Tenant must cure such
default within such notice period, or not terminate this Lease as a result of the default of Tenant. If

the liability of Tenant to Landlord then or thereafter unpaid by Tenant; or
pursue such other remedies as are available at law or in equity.
(b) Landlord Default. Should Landlord default in the performance of any covenant, provision,
warranty, condition or agreement herein, or if any of Landlord’s representations and warranties
Page 20 of 30
SP1.Page 26 of 253
made under this Lease are determined to be untrue, either when made or at any time during the
Term, and such default in the case of any failure by Landlord to pay any sum required to be paid to
Tenant hereunder, continues for ten (10) business days after notice thereof from Tenant, or in case
of any non-monetary default, continues for thirty (30) days after receipt by Landlord of written
notice thereof from Tenant (except as otherwise provided herein), or if the default of Landlord is of
a type which is not reasonably possible to cure within thirty (30) days, if Landlord has not
commenced to cure said default within said thirty (30) day period and does not thereafter diligently
prosecute the curing of said default to completion (except as otherwise provided herein), Tenant in
addition to any and all other remedies which it may have at law and/or in equity including the right
to seek injunctive relief without posting a bond or the obligation to prove irreparable harm, may pay
or perform any obligations of Landlord hereunder and deduct the cost thereof from each

terminate this Lease except as expressly permitted herein.

Tenant may apply for signage (temporary and permanent signage) for the exterior and interior of the
Premises, at its own expense, in order to conduct the business of Tenant. Tenant acknowledges that

To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Hitesh Desai, Chief Financial Officer
CC: Kate Lewis-Lakin, Budget Coordinator
Subject: Ordinance 149-O-19, Approval of Fiscal Year 2020 Budget
Date: November 18, 2019
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council adoption of Ordinance 149-O-19, approving the Fiscal Year
2020 Budget of the City of Evanston in the amount of $320,709,227.
Funding Source:
The budget is funded through a variety of revenue sources, including property taxes.
Council Action:
For Introduction
Summary:
The 2020-21 Proposed Budget was published on October 4, 2019. The document included a
Budget Balancing Worksheet, which included changes to the 2020 Proposed budget. City
Council has discussed these items at City Council meetings on October 14, 26, and
November as Budget 2020 the implemented, budget balancing all With 11. changes
presented for adoption in ordinance 149-O-19 is $320,709,227.
2020 Adopted Budget Changes
An updated Budget Balancing Worksheet is attached, which shows the final proposed budget
for the General Fund. Lines changed since the Proposed Budget are highlighted. These
include:
• Removed proposed self-storage user fee, per Council direction.
• Reduction to parking ticket revenue as a result of ending Sunday parking meter
enforcement.
• Holding 4 police officers positions vacant, which is consistent with practice since 2017.
Original proposal for 2020 was 3 vacant positions.
• New revenue from Welsh-Ryan Arena events - increase of $200,000 in athletic and
amusement tax revenue. This is a conservative estimate dependent on the final events
approved and ticket prices.
SP2.Page 37 of 253
• Increased contributions to Police and Fire pension funds were added to the worksheet.
These were shown in the pension funds and property tax levy in the Proposed Budget,
but governmental accounting standards requires that the pension levies and
contributions are also shown in the General Fund in the Adopted Budget.
• Reduction in expenses in the Human Services Division in the Human Services Fund
by $100,000. This is achieved by holding vacant 1 of the 2.5 new positions proposed
to be added in 2020. This position may be funded in 2021 depending on the success
of program consolidation
• Move $250,000 in recreational cannabis tax revenue to the Reparations Fund.
The following changes to other funds were also made in order to implement the Budget
Balancing Worksheet items.
• Creation of Reparations Fund, with $250,000 in revenue budgeted from recreational
cannabis tax and $250,000 in budgeted expenses.
• Decrease in revenue in the Parking Fund of $260,000 due to elimination of Sunday
parking meters.
• Increase in expenses in the Motor Fuel Tax (MFT) Fund 200 to reflect moving qualified
expenses from the General Fund. The MFT Fund is receiving increased revenue in
2020 from the higher state gasoline tax.
• Increase in expenses in Emergency Telephone (E911) Fund 205 to reflect an increase
in the transfer to the General Fund.
• Increase in revenue and expenses in the Equipment Replacement Fund 601 to reflect
an increase in the transfer from the General Fund.
The total proposed budget by fund is shown in the attachment, with the changes to each
fund. The total 2020 budget for adoption is $320,643,851.
Changes to taxes and fees that are included on the Budget Balancing Worksheet will also be
introduced at the November 18, 2019 City Council meeting.
FY 2021 Projected Budget
The FY 2021 total Projected Budget is $303,560,900. This includes implementation of all
changes included in the FY 2020 budget balancing worksheet. The decrease in expenses of
$17 million is due primarily to the completion of construction on the new Robert Crown Center
and certain projects at the water treatment plant, plus the expiration of the Good Neighbor
Fund agreement with Northwestern University.
The FY 2021 projected expenses for the General Fund are $119,321,742. This is an increase
of approximately $2 million from the 2020 adopted budget, due to contractually obligated
wage increases. The 2021 projected net deficit in the General Fund is $657,550. This is
before budgeting for a contribution to fund balance. Having a 2021 projection allows staff to
present solutions for balancing the budget earlier in the year. These include negotiating a
new Good Neighbor Agreement with Northwestern University and implementing the Ground
Emergency Medical Transport (GEMT) supplemental funding program to increase
reimbursement for Medicaid patient transports. Staff plans to make adjustments to these
projections during 2020 based on actual expenses and revenues and any new solutions
proposed during the year. The FY 2021 budget and tax levies will then be proposed and
adopted in fall 2020.

Summary:
The levy for general obligation debt service is handled differently than a municipal levy for
general operating or pension contribution expenses. When a municipality in Cook County
issues general obligation debt, the debt amortization schedule is filed with the County after
issuance of the bonds, and the County will automatically levy an amount including an
allowable 5% loss factor on behalf of the municipality to make the necessary debt payments
for both principal and interest. Therefore, the City of Evanston does not levy an annual
amount for debt service since the County already does so. Rather, the City must approve and
file the necessary abatements for any amounts the City does not desire the County to
automatically levy. Generally, abated debt amounts are funded through sources other than
property watrevenue, TIF as such taxes incremental special and receipts, er/sewer
assessments.
The total debt service amount on General Obligation Debt for budget year 2020 (2019 tax
levy) is $18,713,821. Of this, $5,711,746 is abated by sources other than property taxes,
resulting in a net levy in the amount of $13,002,075. This includes both the City levy of
$12,521,931and Library Debt Service Levy of $480,144. The County will extend the debt
service levy including allowable loss factor of 5%.

Cannabis Retailers’ Occupation Tax”

Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council adoption of Ordinance 99 -O-19 “Amending Title 3, Chapter 2,
“Municipal Occupation Taxes” of the City of Evanston by Adding a New Section 20 ‘Adult Use
Cannabis Retailers’ Occupation Tax’”.
Council Action:
For Introduction
Summary:
The Illinois General Assembly passed the Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act (the “Act”) on
May 31, 2019. The Act allows a municipality,both home rule and non -home rule, to adopt
ordinances to impose a local tax on the operation of a cannabis dispensary. The rate of tax
cannot exceed 3% of the dispensary's gross receipts from the sale of non -medical cannabis.
If imposed, the tax may only be imposed in 0.25% increments. The tax will be collected and
enforced by the Department of Revenue, which will retain 1.5% of the amount distributed to
each municipality as an administrative fee.
Under the Act, municipalities cannot begin collecting taxes January 1, 2020, when the sale of
recreational cannabis becomes legal. As currently written, the statute provides that the
Department of Revenue will begin administering the tax on September 1, 2020.
Other related taxes from cannabis sales, including State and Home Rules sales taxes, will be
imposed on the sale of recreational cannabis. A share of State sales tax (1% of the State’s
6.25%) and all Home Rule sales tax (1.25% of sales), less a collection fee of 1.5% of the total
withheld by the Illinois Department of Revenue, would be received by the City. The total
taxation through various taxes, including the municipal tax, is 40 -45% of the purchase price.
Summary of taxes assessed:

Memorandum
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Hitesh Desai, Chief Financial Officer
Subject: Ordinance 136-O-19, 2019 City of Evanston Tax Levy
Date: November 18, 2019
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council adoption of Tax Levy Ordinance 136-O-19, which levies the
annual Municipal Illinois Fund, Human Services General for tax property Operations,
Retirement Fund (IMRF), Police and Fire Pension Funds, and the Solid Waste Fund totaling
$34,851,018 as extended (including 3% loss factor). This represents an increase of 10.8%
over the 2018 levy of $31,458,362 as extended.
Council Action:
For Introduction
Summary:
Each year the City of Evanston must levy a specific dollar amount of pr operty taxes with
Cook County. These property tax levies are used to pay for general operations of the City,
IMRF, Police and Fire Pension obligations, General Assistance Fund, Library operations and
the Solid Waste Fund. Levies for the Library, General Assistance, and Special Service Areas
are provided under separate ordinances. The County automatically levies the amounts
related to debt service, which is explained in greater detail below.
The table below is a summary of the 2019 Levies as extended inclu ding allowable loss factor
of 3% by the Cook County as listed in the attached Tax Levy Ordinance:
2019 Proposed City Levy (per 2020 Proposed Budget)
General Corporate Levy $ 7,633,673
IMRF Pension Levy $ 2,155,296
Human Services Fund Levy $ 3,206,186
Solid Waste Fund Levy $ 1,373,711
Fire Pension Levy $ 9,244,368
Police Pension Levy $11,237,784
Total City Levy (excluding Debt Service, General Assistance, Library) $34,851,018
SP5.Page 108 of 253
Detail of all levies and loss factors are shown in the attachment. The City’s budget is based
on the net levy, which is the amount the City expects to collect after the loss factor. The 2019
proposed City net levy is $33,805,487. This is an increase of $2,976,292 or 9.7% over the
2018 City net levy of $30,829,195. With the addition of the loss factor the 2019 proposed City
gross levy is $34,851,018. This is an increase of $3,392,655 or 10.8% over the 2018 City
gross levy of $31,458,362.
Adding the Debt Service, General Assistance, and Library Fund levies, the total proposed net
levy for 2019 is $55,139,563. This is an increase of $5,426,938 or 10.9% over the 2018 total
net levy of $49,712,625. With the addition of the loss factor, the 2019 total gross levy is
$57,127,104. This is an increase of $6,629,189 or 13.1% over the 2018 total gross levy of
$50,497,915.
The levy for general obligation debt service is handled differently than a municipal levy for
general operating or pension contribution expenses. When a municipality in Cook County
issues general obligation debt, the debt amortization schedule is filed with the County after
issuance of the bonds, and the County will automatically levy an amount including an
allowable 5% loss factor on behalf of the municipality to make the necessary debt payments
for both principal and interest. Therefore, the City of Evanston does not levy an annual
amount for debt service since the County already does so. Rather, the City must approve and
file the necessary abatements for any amounts the City does not desire the County to
automatically levy. These tax levy abatements will be introduced to the City Council on
November 18, 2019.

ARTIST VISION STATEMENT FOR THE DESIGN:
"I wanted to paint something that would make you stop and ponder but inevitably leave you with a positive uplifting
message. My text collage is an abstraction of the quote made famous by Henry Ford.."If you think you can do a thing or can't
do a thing, you're right.“ I wanted to update the quote to...
"if you think you can do a thing your right"
Its just meant to be an overall uplifting and positive take away for viewers that reflects the creative optimism that
is Evanston.

Memorandum
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Luke Stowe, Interim Administrative Services Director
CC: Michael Rivera, Interim Parking Manager
Subject: Ordinance 154-O-19, Amending Various Chapters of Title 10, “Motor
Vehicles and Traffic” Regarding Parking Violations
Date: November 18, 2019
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council adoption of Ordinance 154 -O-19, amending various Chapters
of Title 10, "Motor Vehicles and Traffic" regarding parking violations. The Ordinance will
realign parking fines in phases over the next two years with the maximum increase to a single
violation being $10. The proposed realignment affects many of the lesser issued citations and
is recommended to ensure consistency and uniformity among the various citation types.
Additional amendments to the code in this ordinance improve the organization of the sections
and simplify where the fines can be found (example: Snow Parking Ban - the fee stays the
same, but the information is moving Sections).
Council Action:
For Introduction
Summary:
The Administrative Services Department is recommending indexed adjustments to a variety
of parking citations for 2020 through 2021. The proposed realignment affects many of the
lesser issued citations and is recommended to ensure consistency and uniformity among the
various citation types. A phased approach will limit increases each year to a maximum of
$10. Although parking meter/pay station violation fines (for no payment or over max time
limit) were increased last year, there are many other parking fines that have not been
reviewed or adjusted in many years. In addition, staff has found that many fines that do not
align with others that are similar in nature. For example, a car that is parked unde r a fire
escape only pays $35, but a car parked within 15 feet of a fire hydrant pays $60. A car
parked within an intersection pays $35, but parking within 8 feet of a driveway pays $60.
Staff has reviewed neighboring cities parking fine rates. The Village of Skokie’s parking fines
were $50 or higher except for one fine at $35 for obstructing traffic. Some of the $50 fines
were for stopping/standing in prohibited areas, unloading a vehicle, and parking in a
residential permit area without a permit. The City of Chicago charges $75 for parking in a
SP10.Page 202 of 253
residential permit area without a permit, $150 for parking within 15 feet of a fire hydrant, and
$150 for blocking access/alley/driveway/firelane, to name a few. The fee realignment as
proposed keeps us below or in-line with our neighboring communities.

(B) Residential Permit Parking Areas.
1. The City Manager or his/her designee is hereby authorized to designate, by
and with the consent of the City Council, as hereinafter provided, streets and
other public ways within the City on which the parking of vehicles may be
restricted to vehicles bearing a valid parking permit issued pursuant to this
Page 6 of 33
SP10.Page 207 of 253
154-O-19
~5~
Section or to vehicles bearing a valid Evanston vehicle license issued pursuant
to this Section.
2. As used in this Section:
a. "Residential area" shall mean a contiguous or nearly contiguous area
containing public highways or parts thereof primarily abutted by residential
property or residential and nonbusiness property (such as schools, parks
and churches), and designated as such by the City Manager.
b. "Commuter vehicle" shall mean a motor vehicle parked in a residential area
by a person not a resident thereof.
3. A residential area shall be deemed eligible for residential permit parking if,
based on objective criteria herein established, parking therein is "impacted" by
commuter vehicles between eight o'clock (8:00) A.M. and five o'clock (5:00)
P.M. weekdays, except holidays.
4. In determining whether an area identified as eligible for residential permit
parking shall be designated as a residential permit parking area, the area in
question shall meet the following criteria:
a. The number of vehicles parked on the area streets during an average day,
between the hours of eight o'clock (8:00) A.M. to five o'clock (5:00) P.M.,
except holidays. During any two (2) consecutive hours, the number of
vehicles parked (or standing), legally or illegally, on the streets in the area
must be equal to or greater than seventy percent (70%) of the legal on
street parking capacity of the area to qualify as an "impacted" area.
b. The number of commuter vehicles parked (or standing) on the streets of
the area during the same time period as in Subsection (B)4a of this Section.
The number of commuter vehicles so parked in this category must be equal
or greater than thirty percent (30%) of the total number of vehicles parked
to qualify as an "impacted" area.
c. There must be reasonable and generally acceptable alternate areas for the
displaced commuter vehicles to relocate to, or other modes of
transportation to be utilized so that the cause of the impacted area under
study is not merely shifted to an adjacent neighborhood residential area.
d. The residents must be willing to accept the restrictions of the permit
parking program and to bear the administrative costs incurred because of
the designation of a residential parking area.
The following factors shall also be considered:
Page 7 of 33
SP10.Page 208 of 253
154-O-19
~6~
a. The possibility of a reduction in total vehicle miles driven in the City and its
environs;
b. The likelihood of alleviating traffic congestion, illegal parking and related
health and safety hazards;
c. The proximity of public transportation to the residential area;
d. The need for parking in proximity to establishments located therein and
used by the general public for religious, educational, or recreational
purposes.
5. In order to determine whether a particular street, avenue or other location
should be designated as a residential permit parking area, a public hearing will
be conducted prior to the designation of a permit parking area, or prior to the
withdrawal of such designation once it is established. The hearing shall clearly
state the exact location and boundaries of the residential permit parking area
under consideration, the reasons why such area is being proposed for
designation as a residential permit parking area, and the permit parking fee that
would be charged as provided for herein. During such hearing any interested
person shall be entitled to appear and be heard. No hearing shall be held and
no area designated if it is not found to be an impacted area under Subsection
(B)4 of this Section.
6. a. Following Council approval of the designation of a residential permit
parking area, the City Manager or his/her designee shall issue appropriate
permits and shall cause parking signs to be erected in the area indicating
the times, locations, and conditions under which parking shall be by permit
only. The area shall be described by stating which streets or portions of
streets that comprise the area and shall outline the boundary of residence
in Schedule XVIII, Section 10-11-18 of this Title. A permit shall be issued
upon application and payment of the applicable fee, only to the owner or the
operator of a motor vehicle who resides on property located within the
residential permit parking area designated. Further, no permit shall be
issued until the applicant has either: 1) paid the fine and/or penalty for each
violation for which there is an outstanding or otherwise unsettled parking
violation, or 2) requested an appearance in the circuit court to answer for
each violation.
b. Following Council order to withdraw residential parking designation, the
City Manager or his/her designee shall cause the pertinent signs to be
removed within a reasonable time period thereafter.
7. The application for a permit shall contain the name of the owner or operator of
the motor vehicle, residential address, the motor vehicle's make, model,
registration number, the number of the applicant's operator's permit, and the
Page 8 of 33
SP10.Page 209 of 253
154-O-19
~7~
number of the City motor vehicle license if legally required. The motor vehicle's
registration and operator's license may, in the discretion of the City Manager, be
required to be presented at the time of making said application in order to verify
the contents thereof. The owner or operator of any motor vehicle applying for a
residential parking permit shall have a valid City motor vehicle license for the
vehicle unless said license is legally not required. The permit shall be renewed
annually on or before January 1, upon such conditions and procedures as the
City Manager or his/her designee shall specify. The permit may be issued on a
pro rata, by month, basis; however, all permits issued after January 1 in any
year shall be valid until December 31 of the same year. The permit shall be
displayed in a manner as determined and directed by the City Manager or
his/her designee. The permit shall display the City motor vehicle license number
if required to have said license, zone number and expiration date.
8. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section to the contrary, the holder of a
residential parking permit shall be permitted to stand or park a motor vehicle
operated by him/her in the designated residential parking area specified on the
permit during such times as the parking of motor vehicles therein is permitted. A
residential parking permit shall not guarantee or reserve to the holder a parking
space within a designated residential permit parking area.
9. A residential parking permit shall not authorize the holder thereof to stand or
park a motor vehicle in such places or during such times as the stopping,
standing or parking of motor vehicles is otherwise generally prohibited or set
aside for specific types of vehicles (no parking any time, bus stop, loading zone,
etc.), nor exempt the holder from the observance of any traffic regulations.
10. a. No person shall display a permit on any vehicle other than the vehicle
described in the application for which a residential parking permit has been
made and the permit issued. Any such use or display of a permit on a
vehicle as described above shall constitute a violation of this regulation by
the permittee and by the person who so used or displayed such parking
permit.
b. It shall constitute a violation of this regulation for any person to represent
himself/herself as eligible for a residential parking permit or to furnish any
false information in an application to the City Manager or his/her designee
in order to obtain a residential parking permit.
c. The City Manager or his/her designee is authorized, in accordance with
due process regulations as stated in other parts of this Code, to revoke the
residential parking permit of any permittee found to be in violation of this
regulation. Upon written notification thereof, the permittee shall surrender
such permit to the City Manager or his/her designee. Failure, when so
requested, to surrender a residential parking permit so revoked shall
constitute a violation of this regulation.
Page 9 of 33
SP10.Page 210 of 253
154-O-19
~8~
d. Residential parking permits may only be issued to legal residents of a
dwelling unit. The number of legal residents shall be that number specified
in this Code.
11. The fee of one hundred fifteen dollars ($115.00) per permit, annually, is
hereby established to cover administrative costs of permits, signs, and related
costs of the residential permit parking programs. The fee is to be reduced by
the amount of the Evanston vehicle license for those applicants who have
purchased said license. Permits issued on or after January 1 shall have a fee of
fifty-seven dollars and fifty cents ($57.50).
12. The City Manager or his/her designee is authorized to make provisions for the
issuance of temporary parking permits to residents of a designated residential
parking area. Proof of residence within the district must be provided prior to the
issuance of said permits, which will have a fee of twenty cents ($0.20) each.
These permits are for one day and will be valid only if the resident has entered
in ink on the face of the permit the license plate of the visitor's vehicle, the day
of the week and the date.
13. Any person who shall violate any provision of this regulation pertaining to
"residents only parking" shall, upon conviction, be subject to punishment by a
fine of twenty five dollars ($25.00) and if not paid within the period of ten (10)
days from the date appearing on the violation notice, said person shall be
subject to an additional fine of ten dollars ($10.00). Those streets or portions of
streets so designated "residents only parking" shall be maintained in schedule
XVIII, Section 10-11-18 of this Title.
Any person who shall violate any provision of this regulation pertaining to "residents
exempt parking" shall, upon conviction, be subject to the fine found in Schedule
XVII, Section 10-11-17 of this Title. Those streets or portions of streets so
designated "residents exempt parking" shall be maintained in Subsection 10-11-
10(F) of this Title.
(C) Evanston Resident Only Parking Districts: The City Manager or his/her designee
is authorized to designate, by and with consent of the City Council, certain streets or
portions of streets as "Evanston resident only parking districts." The streets to be so
designated shall meet the criteria for establishing residents only parking districts as
described in Subsection (B) of this Section. The means of identifying vehicles
eligible for parking in these districts shall be a valid Evanston vehicle license issued
pursuant to Section 10-8-1 of this Title. The penalty for violating the provisions of
this Section shall be twenty five dollars ($25.00) for each offense, and if not paid
within ten (10) days from the date of issue of the violation notice, an additional ten
dollar ($10.00) penalty shall apply. The streets designated as Evanston resident
only parking districts shall be listed in Schedule XXII, Section 10-11-22 of this Title,
which shall be created for that purpose.

(D) Signs Prohibiting Parking Near Driveways: Upon written application to the City
Manager or the City Traffic Engineer and payment of the fee of thirty dollars

occupy two (2) adjoining parking spaces when funds have been paid in the
parking meter, pay station or web-based application for each space so occupied
as is required in this Title for the parking of other vehicles in such space. Except

twenty-five dollars ($25.00);
(B) (C) No person shall park a vehicle in any such parking space for a consecutive
period of time longer than that limited period of time for which parking is lawfully
permitted in the parking zone, irrespective of the number or amounts of the funds
deposited. Any violation of Section 10-5-4(B) that occurs between January 1, 2020
and December 31, 2020 shall result in a mandatory fine of forty dollars ($40.00).
Any violation of Section 10-5-3 that occurs on or after January 1, 2021 shall result

Memorandum
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Kimberly Richardson, Deputy City Manager
CC: Demitrous Cook, Chief of Police
Subject: Ordinance 147-O-19, Administrative Tow Penalty
Date: November 18, 2019
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council adoption of Ordinance 147 -O-19, an ordinance amending
Title 10, Chapter 6 "To add an administrative penalty under certain circumstances involving a
vehicle seizure and impoundment."
Council Action:
For Introduction
Summary:
The Police Department recommends the ability to add an administrative penalty for when a
vehicle has been towed due to the arrest or detention of the owner/driver for violation of a
criminal offense. For example, impoundment of a vehicle in a DUI arrest or when the vehicle
has been used in the commission of a felony. The proposed penalty would be $250. This
penalty is in addition to the tow charge and storage costs, in which the vehicle owner pays
directly to the tow company.
In 2018, there were 173 DWLS/DWLR arrests and 83 DUI arrests within the City. 60% of
those arrests were not Evanston residents. It is estimated the $250 penalty would generate
$50,000 annually for the City, assuming a 70 percent collection rate.
The Police Department has the authority to adopt an ordinance to impose an administrative
penalty through the Illinois Vehicle Code, statute 625 ILCS 5/11 -208.7. The statute also
establishes procedures for the impoundment and release of vehicles. These provisions
include a requirement that notice be sent to the owner/lessee of the vehicle at the time the
vehicle is towed. The municipality must also provide notice of an administrative hearing to
the owner, lessee, and any lienholder of record within 10 days after the vehicle is imp ounded.
That hearing must be conducted no later than 45 days after the notice is mailed.

Memorandum
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Brian Scott, Fire Chief
Subject: Ordinance 150-O-19, Amending City Code Subsection 9-2-3 to Add
Fire Department Emergency Incident Cost Recovery Fees
Date: November 18, 2019
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council adoption of Ordinance 150 -O-19, Amending City Code
Subsection 9-2-3 to Add Fire Department Emergency Incident Cost Recovery Fees.
Council Action:
For Introduction
Summary:
The fiscal demands to sustain various emergency and non-emergency services provided to
the public continue to escalate and the City has limited opportunities for recovering costs
associated with Fire Department services.
Currently, fees are assessed for fire alarm permits, excessive fa lse fire alarms, hazardous
materials mitigation, standby use of fire equipment and personnel as well as emergency
ambulance transport in accordance with the Evanston City Code (9-10-8-1, 9-12-2 and 9-2-3
respectively).
State of Illinois billing regulations permits fire agencies to recoup expenses for additional
emergency services provided by fire departments, which allows municipalities the ability to
recover some financial resources to help support service levels. These additional emergency
services would include motor vehicle accidents, vehicle and structure fires and certain
specialized rescues.
Based upon this regulatory allowance, approximately 50 Chicago metro area fire agencies
have expanded their emergency incident recovery fee structure to gain additional revenue to
maintain services to their community.
Given the tremendous resources necessary to ensure the Fire Department is prepared to
manage a vast array of emergency situations, I believe consideration should be given to
amend the Evanston City Code to allow for expanded emergency incident cost recovery for
SP12.Page 245 of 253
the Evanston Fire Department. As with our current EMS billing practices, all fees would be
invoiced directly to the affected parties' insurance carrier. Evanston residents and business
owners would not receive any bill relative to these expanded recovery fees.
The Department has explored options for implementing emergency incident cost recovery,
and a third party vendor will be utilized that will take full responsibility for working with t he
insurance company to recover appropriate expenses.
The table below provides the recommended fee structure for these particular Evanston Fire
Department emergency services:
Fire Department Service Emergency Incident Recovery Fee
Motor Vehicle Accident $520
Vehicle Fire $605
Structure Fire $500
Specialized Rescue $400
