September 13, 2010
The following persons spoke of their support of the Library's Fund initiative and the general
collective reasoning was to refocus on our priorities and where the monies are being spent, and
to allow the Library Board to perform their duty as trustworthy individuals. Only a few of the
speakers will be quoted.
Mary Rooney, 2519 Harrison
Leora Siegel, 2128 Forestview Rd.
Garry Rejebian, 2334 Hastings
Alex Elliot, 732 Michigan Ave.
Ellen Newcomer, 2445 Ridgeway
Ann Foster, 2003 Lincoln Street
Nancy Traver, 2617 Thayer Street
Manuel Silver
Janis Michael, 2227 Lincolnwood Dr.
Bob Crews, 2615 Poplar
Michael Tanner, 514 Elmwood
Mary Griffin, 2503 Prarie Ave.
Virginia Zboralski, 2123 Pioneer Rd.
Henry Latimer, 2322 Isabella
Cheryl Chamberlain, 2145 Forestview
Frances Seidman, 600 South Blvd. stated response to the library board's suggestion a funding
move is excessive, because not all the money spent in Evanston is wisely spent. The Council
should just make more rational decisions about priorities
Penelope Whiteside, 2117 Payne stated branch libraries are accessible gathering places.
Laurie McFarlane, 2720 Eastwood, stated she was a lawyer and the Mayor's proposed
ordinance is clearly illegal. She stated the way it is constructed would likely be another lawsuit if
council passes it.
Boris Furman, 1403 Maple, stated that both Council and the Library Board have best interest of
citizens at heart and that the Council should let Library Board have control of its funding.
Jeff Smith, 2724 Harrison says library spending tiny compared to overall city spending.
City's budget hole is not the library's fault.
Jeanne Lindwall, 625 Library Place, supports separate library tax, she suggests to delay a
Library tax until next year.
Bennett Johnson, publisher of Evanston Sentinel, says he supports what the library board is
doing and urges creation of a west side branch, and then he spoke concerning the NSP2 Grant
Program, and urged the Council to provide more money for minority contractors in the NSP2
grant program. He also threatened to demonstrate or litigate unless some changes are not made.
Speaking against the proposal of the Library Board initiating a Library Fund:
Mike Vasilko, 2718 Reese praises council action last year to reduce budget, including of the
library. He stated the action by library board will result in higher property taxes in future years
and for every dollar increase in library budget, the same amount will need to be eliminated from
some other City service, or they'll be a tax increase. He finally stated the Library Board should
not circumvent what the citizens have asked for, nor should they circumvent the authority of the
elected officials of Evanston.
The followin,2 persons spoke concerning the Taxi Ordinance:
Russ Abell, General Manager of the Orrington Hotel 1710 Orrington Ave. he stated his support
of the licensing of taxicab owners and the prevention of non -licensed taxicabs coming into
Evanston taking fares from the Evanston cabdrivers.
Jim Bewer, 244 University Place of American Taxi says he has over 110 written comments from
customers favoring prearranged rides for out-of-town cabs, and he said we must think what is
best for the citizens.

September 13, 2010
Adam Zayed, Attorney for American Taxicab Co., notes that Chicago and other communities in
the metro area allow residents to make prearranged taxi orders with out-of-town cabs.
Dan Coyne, General Manager of American Taxi, says firm followed the rules and built business
even though started with no Evanston medallions (licenses).
Mike Decker, NorthShore Cab Company, is in support of the Ordinance for the protection of the
cabdrivers and the citizens of Evanston.
Augustine Bazelais, Purple Cab Company, for twenty years driving a cab in Evanston and he
asks the Council to help the struggling cabdrivers in Evanston.
Marie Figaro, Member of the Taxicab Advisory Board, is against having the outside cabs
coming into Evanston and taking fares from the Evanston cabdrivers. She urged the Council to
give them help.
Allen Miller, President of Taxicab Advisory Board, spoke of the regulations set in place that
they follow and these regulations are for the protection of the residents as well as providing
consistencies which the outside cabs do not provide.
Persons speaking on the Truancv Ordinance
Betty Ester, 2031 Church Street, stated that American taxicab is considered as a limousine
service and that is how they are listed. She then spoke on the NSP2 Program and the Truancy
Ordinance and how both are confusing. Alderman Rainey stated that none of the properties in the
NSP2 Program have been sold or rented at this time, and when they are ready there will be a
massive publicizing of the properties along with their prices. Nothing will be secretive.
Madelyn DuPree, 1920 Foster Street, stated the Police should not be involved in the
enforcement of the truancy problem. She stated the Council should send this issue back to the
Human Services Committee, just like the chickens and clear it up.
Carolyn Murray, 1930 Grey Ave., stated says when it comes to library versus a dental clinic the
clinic should not be sacrificed. Ultimately, she stated we just don't have the money. She uses the
main branches often and digs into to her pocket for the parking money, but maybe we all need to
readjust our lifestyles.
Sneaking on the proposed chicken Ordinance
Lynne Greene, 2016 Brown Ave, stated she wanted the Council to reconsider allowing the
passage of the Ordinance that will allow neighbors to raise chickens next to her home.
Alderman Fiske read a letter from Mr. Jim Pomerantz asking the Council to not allow the food
truck ordinance to pass.
SPECIAL ORDER OF BUSINESS:
Citv Council Discussion with Library Board of Trustees Retarding Library Services and
Funding Options
(SP1)Library Funding Information Questions and Answers
Staff report provided for consideration and discussion.

discuss the issues.

September 13, 2010
Question: Alderman Jean -Baptiste wanted to know exactly why we were meeting and to have
more clarification.
Answer: Library board President, Chris Stewart, stated the board voted Aug. 4 to impose
library tax levy. Susan Newman, library board vice-president, said she doesn't understand why it's
become an issue. The tax increase would be very small. Gail Bush says the library fund
is the mode of funding declared by the state for municipal libraries.
Alderman Wilson, 4th Ward, said he thought the meeting was designed to establish a dialog. He
then stated what we have had has been a public relations battle instead. He agrees the friends
should not have been asked to raise funds for the Libraries and there are a lot of strong feelings
both ways, and it is difficult for people to come out and say they're opposed to branch libraries.
A lot of people don't go to Starbucks can't pay a tax that's the cost of a few trips to Starbucks.
This has turned a very positive community building effort into a very divisive issues and hopes
the mayor's suggestion will start a dialog, not a battle. He said people are worried about taxation
without representation.
Library board member Diane Allen, 330 Barton, says she agrees with Aldermen Wilson and
Jean -Baptiste, but doesn't see how dialog can take place when very recently given proposed
ordinance that seems to be exact opposite of point have been trying to make in the community.
The other Board members made additional comments and continued using the analogy that the
tax increase would be no more than going to Starbucks for a cup of coffee.
Mayor Tisdahl said there are people in the community who do not go to Starbucks and for
whom 15 or 20 bucks is a lot of money. There has been a huge increase in water shut offs in
town and there are people being asked to support the branches who simply can't afford to do so
The discussions ended with the Library Board President, Chris Stewart stating they will be
discussing the proposed Ordinance from the City in their Wednesday night meeting.
The Council took a five minute break. And the meeting resumed at 11:58 pm.
Alderman Jean -Baptiste moves holding the taxi ordinance for two weeks. Alderman Rainey
suggested setting it as a special order of business at the start of the meeting. Suggestion was
approved unanimously.
