Funding Source: N/A Livability Benefits: Economy and Jobs – Expand job opportunities and retain and expand local businesses Built Environment – Enhance public spaces Summary: Per the request of Alderman Rainey staff is providing a brief summary of the cost and benefits associated with the Ward 8 and Peckish Pig development projects on Howard Street in the Howard Ridge TIF District. Since 2011, the City has engaged in efforts to revitalize the Evanston side of Howard Street through property acquisition, code enforcement, and targeted recruitment of new destination-oriented businesses. The utilization of the Howard/Ridge Tax Increment Financing (TIF) district has been an integral tool for this work. Properties were purchased by the City utilizing TIF funds and assistance were provided to businesses through the TIF to revitalize the buildings they occupy. In 2012, Ward Eight Cocktail lounge opened and quickly garnered awards and recognition from Zagat and TimeOut Chicago. In 2013, Peckish Pig opened Evanston’s first brew pub two storefronts east of Ward Eight. Within its first year, Peckish Pig was recognized by the Illinois Board of Tourism. Real estate listings on Zillow and REDFIN in the area reference these dining destinations as neighborhood amenities. Memorandum 42 of 54 The table below summarizes the direct economic impact of these two businesses. It should be noted that upon leasing of the property, maintenance of the property was shifted to the tenants, freeing up city resources.

Estimate based on monthly average aggregated liquor tax collected for all Evanston Establishment [2] State of Illinois prohibits home rule communities from disclosing this information. Estimates based on percentage of estimated liquor tax The Peckish Pig property in 2016 generated approximately $44,000 in property taxes compared to previous use which generated $25,000 in 2012. Peckish Pig, which has 38 employees, is also current on their rent payments which in turn makes it possible for the Howard/Ridge TIF to repay the Economic Development/General Fund $46,500 annually. The proven success of the two businesses has stabilized Howard Street resulting in both commercial and residential development interest. Food and entertainment businesses locating to Howard Street upon learning of Peckish Pig’s and Ward Eight’s success include North Shore Cider Company, Theo Ubique Cabaret Theater, Sweet Temptations Bakery, Good to Go Jamaican, and the recently announced lease of 633 Howard by Café Coralie commercial bakery and French café. A mixed-use development is planned at 130 Chicago Avenue, at the northwest corner of Howard and Chicago Avenue. The physical environment has improved as a result of the investment as well.

Hagery, Mayor Attest: _______________________________ Devon Reid, City Clerk Adopted: __________________, 2017 49 of 54 For City Council of October 16, 2017 Item SP5 Ordinance 85-O-17, Creation of Equity & Empowerment Commission For Adoption To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council From: Dr. Patricia A. Efiom, Equity and Empowerment Coordinator Subject: Ordinance, 85-O-17, Creation of Equity & Empowerment Commission Date: September 26, 2017 Recommended Action: Staff and Rules Committee recommend City Council adoption of Ordinance 85-O-17, Amending Title 2, Chapter 12 of the Evanston City Code, which creates the Equity & Empowerment Commission. Ordinance 85-O-17 was approved for introduction at the September 25, 2017 City Council meeting, and held for action at the October 9, 2017 City Council meeting until October 16. Livability Benefits: Equity & Empowerment: Provide for meaningful community engagement Background: In 2016, due to a lack of activity and consistent staff support, the Human Relations Commission was consolidated with the Housing and Homelessness Commission. The work of the Housing, Homelessness and Human Relations Commission is heavily focused on Housing and Homelessness. With the establishment of the office of Equity & Empowerment in February 2017, it was determined that a commission dedicated solely to the work of Equity & Empowerment was essential. Therefore, at the May 9, 2017 Housing, Homelessness and Human Relations Commission meeting, members voted to support the disaggregation of the Commission. The City Council finds that creating an entity that proactively addresses issues of equity and empowerment in the City of Evanston is a priority. Title 2 of the Evanston City Code will be amended to add Chapter 12 – Equity and Empowerment Commission. Attachment: Ordinance 85-O-17 Memorandum 50 of 54 8/17/2017 85-O-17 AN ORDINANCE Creating Title 2, Chapter 12 of the Evanston City Code Forming an “Equity and Empowerment Commission” NOW BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EVANSTON, COOK COUNTY, ILLINOIS, THAT: SECTION 1: Legislative Statement. This Ordinance creates a City of Evanston Equity and Empowerment Commission whose primary function is to address issues of access, equity, and empowerment within the City. Diversity and inclusion are core values of the Evanston community. The City Council determines that it is in the best interest of the City to create an Equity and Empowerment Commission to achieve lasting change, leverage diversity, and actively practice inclusion. Article VII, Section (6)a of the Illinois Constitution of 1970, which states that the “powers and functions of home rule units shall be construed liberally,” was written “with the intention that home rule units be given the broadest powers possible” (Scadron v. City of Des Plaines, 153 Ill.2d 164). Pursuant to 65 ILCS 5/1-2-1, the City may make all rules and regulations to carry into effect the powers granted to the City, such broad and general grant of authority complementing the City’s home rule powers. At meetings held in compliance with the provisions of the Illinois Open Meetings Act (5 ILCS 120/1 et seq.), the City Council considered this Ordinance, heard public comment, and made findings. It is well-settled law in Illinois that the legislative judgment of the City Council must be considered presumptively valid (see Glenview State Bank v. Village of Deerfield, 213 Ill.App.3d 747(1991)) and is not subject to 51 of 54 85-O-17 ~2~ courtroom fact-finding (see National Paint & Coating Ass’n v. City of Chicago, 45 F.3d 1124 (1995)). The City Council finds that creating an entity that proactively addresses issues of equity and empowerment in the City of Evanston is a priority. The City Council desires to amend the City Code to create an Equity and Empowerment Commission. SECTION 2: Title 2, Chapter 12 of the Evanston City Code of 2012, as amended (“City Code”), is hereby created and shall read as follows: CHAPTER 12 – EQUITY AND EMPOWERMENT COMMISSION 2-12-1: PURPOSE.

Further, the Commission will be transparent and collaborative with both internal and external individuals and entities, holding all accountable for measurable improvements and outcomes.
