Center in Room 2401 and will continue through Thursday, April 12. With early voting, one may vote without giving a
reason. Illinois law requires that early voters provide valid identification before voting, such as a current driver's license,
a state -issued ID card or a passport with photograph.
Those who missed the deadline for voter registration can register to vote during grace period registration at the Cook
County Clerk's office, 69 W. Washington in downtown Chicago now through Tuesday, April 3.
If there are questions about the election, please call the City Clerk's office.
City Clerk Morris announced the Clerk's office had received a draft copy of the Elderly Only Designated Housing Plan
for 2007 from the Housing Authority of Cook County. There will be a public hearing on the Elderly Only Designated
Housing Plan for 2007 concerning the Victor L. Walchirk Apartments, 2300 Noyes Court on Thursday, April 12, from
1:00-3:00 p.m. at the Jane R. Perlman Apartments, 1900 Sherman Avenue in the first floor community room.
CITIZEN COMMENT:
Padma Rao. 2246 Sherman Ave., spoke about Ordinance 3-0-07, Special Assessment No. 1489 for alley paving north of
Noyes Street: alleged there to be multiple legal, factual inconsistencies; questioned the property lines and asked for a plat
of survey. She alleged the procedure was plagued with failure to follow process; had concerns about safety due to the
alley being one-way. She stated the City wanted to kill a box elder tree that is partially on City land and private land and
claimed the City is looking to incur liability. (Mayor Morton suggested she obtain a survey of her property.) Alderman
Wollin explained the A&PW Committee voted unanimously to support paving of the alley.

Frances Seidman. 600 South Blvd., was surprised to see the consternation in the City Council by the advisory referenda
regarding keeping the city government at the present building. Given that the referendum is advisory, it astonished her
that Council added an opposing referendum to the ballot. Most amazing of all is the leaflet being circulated by the City. It
states the issue in a biased fashion, presents all the negative reasons for remaining at this location, but provides little
information about abandoning 2100 Ridge. There is no information about the cost of acquiring a sizeable land site, of
planning, designing and constructing a state-of-the-art building with provisions for all functions of government and
transitioning from this building to the new one. She thought there are many eager developers waiting to acquire this
attractive piece ofproperty, but what will be done with it given this is not a neighborhood that will readily accommodate
a glitzy glass high rise or massive mansions. How much will developers be willing to pay, given the possible uses that
they would be permitted to build here? So far, experience in Evanston shows that the community does not ride TIFs to
easy street. This leaflet could be considered seriously inappropriate, having been prepared by the City and distributed
with a less than impartial view of the question and right before the election without any way to respond to it. She
wondered about the appropriateness and ethics of presenting this matter in such a biased fashion.
Dr. Stamata Blanas. 1720 Maple Ave., business owner, filed a motion asking City Council to vacate Ordinance 80-0-06,
passed July 10, 2006, regarding the planned unit development atl881 Oak Avenue because the City violated its own
ordinance; did not follow due process procedures by failing to send out the required legal notice of the Plan Commission
hearings to residents within one -thousand feet of the development site for that hearing. On March 21, a representative of
Evanston Northwestern Healthcare, one of the most visible corporate residents in the City and owner of adjoining
property at 1001 and 1033 University Place, told the Plan Commission, they had been unable to find any proof that they
had been notified of the hearing and would continue to search its files. The harm to neighboring residents is best
exemplified by the comment of Commissioner Larry Widmayer, who voted with the minority of commissioners in favor
of the development, that there was little neighborhood opposition to the project. Some members of the P&D Committee
and the City Council may have been influenced by that comment, when both voted to reject the Plan Commission
recommendation against the project. She passed out copies of petitions signed by 75 residents living with 1,000 feet of
1881 Oak that they had not received legal notice of the hearing and asked that the decision to approve the planned unit
development at 1881 Oak be vacated. More signatures are being gathered. Because people were not notified, they were
unable to attend the hearing and comment, to voice objections to height and density. She asked that this matter be put on
the agenda for the next Council meeting or as soon as possible.
John Kennedv. 1119 Hinman Ave., reported that Sid Zwick had invited representatives of Friends of the Civic Center to
participate in a panel discussion about the future of the Civic Center on April 5. He accepted, because they would like an
honest, straightforward discussion on the issues related to moving the Civic Center. Subsequently he (Zwick) called and
stated he had talked with First Assistant Corporation Counsel Herb Hill who said that neither staff nor Council members
would be available to participate in any conversation on the Civic Center because of the Judge's ruling last week. He left
three messages for Mr. Hill over two business days and received no call back. If this is true, it is a sad day for Evanston.
The judge never ruled on the issue of the City's brochure, or on Council members' participation in discussion. A dialogue
is needed on this issue. There are real issues and assumptions with which all can disagree or agree. By standing behind
some flimsy legal ruling constituents of this City, who elected you as representatives, are not being served. He invited
Council members to enter into a dialogue on this issue of moving the Civic Center, on Thursday, April 5 at ECMC for a
two hour panel discussion. The referenda do not have to mentioned, just talk about the facts and lay them out for the
residents of Evanston to discern and decide. The community deserves a frank and honest discussion on this important
issue. Council members are elected representatives who are designated to speak about decisions already made and will
make. He urged them to step up, address the issues and engage in discussion.
Alderman Rainey asked for information about a ruling that Council members could not talk about the Civic Center.
Mr. Hill explained that last Wednesday there was a court hearing on a motion and complaint filed by Mr. Kennedy and
others. Mr. Sidney Zwick has not spoken to him for weeks and months. He received calls from Mr. Kennedy and had not
responded. He explained that a week ago last Friday, the City received a notice of hearing on a complaint for an
injunction to be heard that morning at Circuit Court. The complaint alleged that the referendum question adopted by the
City Council was misleading, confusing and vague. That complaint was received at 8:25 p.m. the night before by fax.
Friday morning the City received information that the attorney for Friends of the Civic Center was in court trying to find
3 March 26, 2007
a judge to hear the case in Chicago. Corporation Counsel Jack Siegel and he were in court Friday afternoon before a
judge that was assigned the case temporarily. The judge said it was not an emergency, that the City Council adopted the
referendum 43 days prior to that Friday. However, because it was an election matter they would proceed expeditiously.
Judge Gilles proposed that by 4:30 p.m. Monday, Friends of the Civic Center would file its brief and that by 4:30 p.m.
Tuesday the City would respond. By 1:30 p.m. Wednesday there would be oral arguments. The judge's ruling
characterized as "flimsy" was in behalf of the City not of the Friends of the Civic Center. The judge found that on a
jurisdictional basis, this matter was more appropriate for the Electoral Board, which has a rigid time frame, and should
have been filed 35-40 days prior. The judge ruled that the City's question was clear, concise and straightforward. The
question is not confusing and can be answered by a "yes" or "no" vote and is readily understandable by a voter of average
intelligence, the standard applied. The judge ruled completely in favor of the City. There was no discussion or issue with
the question (referendum) posed by the Friends of the Civic Center.
Alderman Rainey asked about Council members not being able to support the position they voted on. Mr. Hill said
Council members may proceed on an informational basis to explain the question and the need to know. The pamphlet was
reviewed by the Law Department and Friends of the Civic Center attempted to make an issue of that at the hearing and
the judge disallowed it. The pamphlet is one step in an educational process. Council members may educate the public
regarding the Civic Center and share discussions made at the Civic Center Committee meeting.
Alderman Wynne asked what is prohibited. Mr. Hill said funding a drive that says to vote "yes" on the referendum
question. Other actions may need to be answered on a case -by -case basis.
Alderman Bernstein asked about members of Council appearing at a debate. Mr. Hill said a debate, where an individual
alderman takes a side on City property or with City funds, cannot be done. ECMC is funded by the City and is it
considered City property. Mr. Hill needed time to respond to that. As chairman of the Civic Center Committee, Alderman
Bernstein has had calls from Sidney Zwick and former alderman Mary Juliar for a Republican Party event. He was
responding to the directive not to advocate. He asked Max Rubin to present the facts. He did not want to debate this
again; noted this and prior Councils have debated this for the past five years. Facts could have been gleaned from
discussions that have been open to the public. Closed sessions concerned acquisition of land. To date, they don't have a
new property and may end up staying in this building. The Civic Center Committee believes that it would be far better,
economically, to leave than to stay, which has been enunciated for years. He stated that Max Rubin and the City Manager
are available to present the facts as they know them. Everyone has been talking in terms of estimates.
Mayor Morton stated that if Council members need facts, data on the Civic Center is available through Dave Cook.
Alderman Jean -Baptiste clarified that the Law Department has not told Council that it cannot participate in any kind of
forum with Friends of the Civic Center. Mr. Kennedy has called them out to speak. He thought the issue had moved Mr.
Kennedy to make statements not based on reality and was sure that every Council member was willing to share
information and why the City has taken the position it has.
Mr. Kennedy said the opinion on where the Law Department stood was given to him second hand. He attempted to call
and clarify this. His desire is not to call them out, but to invite them to a discussion. As much as Max Rubin knows the
facts, he does not understand innuendoes about TIF issues and schools, cost and tax ramifications. He and Mr. Rubin had
an interesting discussion in front of the Republicans. The Friends of the Civic Center would like to have a discussion with
two Council members on the facts and lay them out on live television. His is a request and an invitation, not a calling out.

She related there was a violent incident at CusterBrummel that evening; welcomed Police Chief Richard Eddington;
recalled the City had purchased two PODD cameras and was told that the cameras have arrived. She stated there is no
reason that any community should tolerate this kind of behavior and feared the City will lose good people. She stated a
Police Department goal should be to bring civility to this community where it does not exist today.
91h Ward. Alderman Hansen welcomed new Chief Eddington and looked forward to working with him. She thanked
Assistant Director for Building & Zoning Carolyn Brzezinski for all her help and her departure is a loss.
1" Ward. Alderman Wollin reported that on Sunday, March 18 she and Mayor Morton attended the grand opening of the
new Heart Center at St. Francis Hospital, which is a multi -million facility.
She noted more people are out walking; reminded staff there seemed to be many sandwich boards on sidewalks that make
it difficult to traverse. She has heard from people in the ls` Ward asking that this be regulated.
2°d Ward. Alderman Jean -Baptiste welcomed Chief Eddington and his plan for the summer.
He invited all to a meeting at the District 65 Administration building on Thursday, March 29 at 7:00 p.m. for 2°d Ward
neighbors who live within the boundaries of Dodge, Church, Dempster and McDaniel to discuss what the City is doing
about safety; introduce the new chief, discuss traffic calming devices and other issues including the new noise ordinance.
He stated the police need to go for the retrofitted boom boxes.
3`d Ward. Alderman Wynne welcomed Police Chief Eddington; gave a fond farewell to Carolyn Brzezinski who is
leaving the City to go to Northbrook, their gain and Evanston's loss. She has had many conversations with Carolyn about
land use issues, architecture and urban planning and has learned a lot from her. She is always unfailingly polite even
when they disagree.
4th Ward. Alderman Bernstein welcomed Chief Eddington; was sad to see Carolyn Brzezinski leave the City. He
reminded everybody that opposite side of the street sweeping would begin April 2.
5th Ward. Alderman Holmes welcomed Chief Eddington and announced he would be present at the next 5d' Ward
