Good morning, honorable Mayor Johnson and its team members
of the council. My name is Pasquale Gianni and I'm
addressing you today regarding the deeply disparaging and
unacceptable tweet made by alderwoman Sonia Rodriguez,
Sanchez towards Italian Americans in our great City
Italian-American contributions in Chicago options were an
Italian ice Monument. A statue of an espresso pot, Columbus
or other. She's further solicited input from followers and
applauded, suggestions such as an Italian beef, Juice
Fountain, and a statue of Al Capone. Eating spaghetti,
beyond the pitiful suggestions that are contributions be
manifested through. A statue of sugar, water, and
perpetuating ugly. Stereotypes of our people as dogs and
pasta shoveling peasants. What's worse than my view? Is
that she's refused to issue an apology. Instead, she's
attempted to discredit her detractors as right-wing.
Suburban Heights, and deflected by pointing out that
Adventure.
I have sent your unflattering messages, so that's all
nonsense. I am a proud Chicago, and, and lifelong, Democrat
and reasonable Minds should, and can differ on the issues.
I've had spirited debate with many members of the council,
regarding the celebration of Columbus at times. We reach
common ground at others. We simply disagree. But in each
instance, We Come Away with an appreciation for each
other's point of view and mutual respect and all instances.
Of course, except for those unpleasant encounters with the
other woman of the 33rd war. I've been all. So nastily
target targeted on Twitter over the years. By The Other
Woman, do to my advocacy on behalf of my community. I have
thick enough skin when it comes to be personal attacks, but
not the contributions of a people who is backbreaking
labor. Help. Build this city and Country and comprise the
largest ethnic group fighting for the United States during
both world wars. My grandfather Dominic to Frisco fought
against unfair and unjust stereotyping of Italian Americans
his entire life. I first sent you today representing over
50 Italian.
In Oregon today.
In organizations in Chicago that have come together to say
Basta a beautiful Italian word, which means enough our
community has taken too many punches and it's time we stand
up just as any other ethnic Community would and has done.
But it's Council. I say, please see the hypocrisy of
allowing this other woman to continue to serve as chair of
the Latino caucus and extant, caucus will unapologetically
inciting intolerance towards another ethnic group and the
health and human Relations Committee. Ironically that's the
On the charge.
On the charge with overseas.
One that charged with overseeing racial and ethnic
relations. We should hold public servants to a higher
standard and that's what I'm asking each of you to consider
doing as a final note is my fondest hope and dream that our
community. And any other be granted, the respect to decide
who and what we celebrate. Not imposed from the outside. I
sincerely. Thank you for listening to my impassioned, plea
and for your service to our great City.

My name is Sharon Lewis and I am writing on. I'm speaking
on behalf of the Italian-American human relations
Foundation. As, you know, there are more than 500,000
residents of Italian Heritage in and around Chicago.
There is.
There is one all day.
There is one alderperson with the audacity to use racist
ropes to insult them. And the millions of people who love
and respect Italian, does neighbors and friends in the city
and worldwide, as a BiPAP serving organization Meadows.
Eastside Community Resource organization is insulted and
offended on behalf of Alitalia. To the city council, asked
yourself, how would you feel as a black person to be
slaughtered as an agent to be slurred as a, Hispanic, as a
member of the lgbtq community. Remember action must be
taken, sanctions must occur.
Remy.
Remember. Also, first, they came for the Socialists and
then I did not speak out because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak
out because I was not a trade unions. Then they came for
the Jews, and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew,
then they came for me. And there was no one left to speak
for me and show her the tongue that Wags. Hate does not do
so from the chambers of the city council.

congratulations for you to meet with us. I'm I met you.

too cold. So I know this is something near and dear to your
heart. I know you don't want to

they took one of the seven and have yet to get the kids off
the marketing director because she was bringing too many

That's why I'm saying we need a meeting so we can let you
know everything is going on. But again we need to be

Thank you, mr. Mayor and members of the city council of
Chicago for this opportunity to address you. I speak to the
misconduct of all the woman was Donna, Rodriguez, Sanchez.
Why?
By definition, you would think that the chairperson of the
health and human Relations Committee would work to promote.
Good will among people of all religious racial and ethnic
backgrounds. Instead we have all the woman was Anna,
Rodriguez, Sanchez, belittling italian-americans, and then
offering the ridiculous excuse that her actions were
humorous. Isn't that the classic? Excuse bullies make when
they are caught? I was just having fun. That's the problem.
Miss Rodriguez was having fun insulting and degrading and
entire ethnic group and encouraged others to do the same.
Kind.
Conduct is even more pernicious because her bigoted words
came from and elected official and a representative of the
city of Chicago Action. Send a message that bigotry and
racial animus are not only acceptable, but are they be
encouraged? How can the mayor and city council permit? Such
a bully and bigoted to sit on the city council and headed
committee? That is true way whether the actions of others
are bigoted and racially motivated a joke. She says,
remember the old action that a lot of Truth is said in,
jest, you can tell the character of a person by the jokes
and story, she tells

And Italian ice monument and an espresso pot Monument.

Good morning, mister mayor morning ladies and gentlemen, of
the city council. My name is Luis a trago. I'm president of
the Italian-American human relations Foundation of Chicago,
and I thought rather than getting you some of my thoughts,
I would love to read you into the record. These are words
of Perry rumor, who is the executive director of the
disciple Museum.
Here's how she begin.
Here's how she begins her statement. Hey, their friends.
Here's a question for you. What's the best way to honor
African American Heritage in the city of Chicago? How about
a watermelon sculpture? How about a Minstrel show? Please
tweet us more. Good ideas. Appalling suggestions, right?
And yet we are asked excuse as lighthearted fun, the
cultural equal equivalent of the above suggestions directed
towards the Italian American Community by Alderman
Rodriguez Sanchez in simply does not and should not work
that way racism and ethnicity derogatory comments are
unacceptable regardless of whom they're directed towards,
but it is even more disturbing. When such comments come
from a person of color a person whose own racial group has
been the historical Target of bigotry and discrimination.
As.
as a
As a man.
As a member of the Chicago city council, you ought to
practice behavior. That is kid in keeping with the demands
for equality and respect. Not expecting such words at much
less, which call for suggestions of additional insults to
be laughed off. I am president and CEO of the disable Black
History Museum & Education Center. Our nation's oldest
independent Black History Museum. I can do
Your words as.
Your words as more severe sleep as I would the suggestion of
watermelon sculpture or Minister Minstrel shows.
As lighthearted representation of black people and our
history as public figures, we are expected to lead by
example. We should follow the Golden Rule, talk to us as
children do unto others as we would have them do unto us.
We are a world-class City made up of many communities. We
all deserve respect, ladies and gentlemen, of the council
and my dear mayor if we allow voice like this to be kept in
city council,
We?
We are condoning words like this towards any other ethnic
group in the city of Chicago, we beg your understanding of
this. Thank you so much for your time.
Thank you.
Thank you for your comments. Our next speaker is Antoinette
Simmons.
Good morning everyone and mayor. My name is Antoinette.
Jewel Simmons, can you hear me and hear me good? I have
worked. As a tip worker, earning the minimum wage for about
10 years. We are here to support the bill to bring it into
deuce. The end of summer minimum wage for tipped workers.
The song minimum wage was created. After the Emancipation
to allow restaurants to hire black women like me for free
for us to live on tips today to workers are mostly women
like me forced to live on tips. Living on tips me. We never
know how much we will get day after day, because tips go up
and down all the time. Some so a lot of us rely on public
assistance to feed our families here in the mic. It also
means that we have the
Hi.
Highest rates in sexual harassment of any industry because
we have put up with so much for customers regarding our
tips we have. So we have to act a certain way to receive
what we need. Also, we are comfortable with dealing with
those in the restaurant. It's our job to Serve customer
service and that's what we like to do, but sometimes some
of us are her ass, all right?
What?
What's the pandemic temps? Tips went down. Harassment went
up and all this, all of them. This I'm sorry and we all
started, Living leaving the industry. I'm one of them. We
are not coming back without one, Fair wage and I want to
say, and this is why all them and I'm saying your name
right? But daddy's son Eddie is so, right? So important to
us as a sergeant, you know, they send me something, I had
something else I wanted to say but why
All means necessary. We need this as we go and deal with
our Generations that are we're raising. We are college
students that are in the industry working as well and we
need a live in ways. I'm grateful for what the
commissioner, the board president did but she just added
another $6 to that, man. That ain't really the ways. I'm
just saying, Sony you, we still bound to this system, so we
can have a real-life ways that would be good. So if y'all
had that 15 + 4 tips on top, that'll be $30 Mayer. I don't
want to say, I appreciate you for coming out and serving
us. Thank you, thank you. And that's all I have to say,
man. I'm good.

hiding from Ice.

Rudy Lozano. I to believe that I am an extension of all the
amazing work that the Lozano family has given the southwest
side of Chicago. In particular. I am a byproduct of
Brighton Park and I actually began my organizing and began
being politicized in Little Village when I was 18 years old
and I started learning all the activism that was done
before me.
and,
And after I started organizing a little village, I began
working at the Rudy Lozano Alternative High School where
I'm at Rudy Lozano Jr. And so I know that I am here because
of all of our great ancestors but most importantly Rudy and
I am having the cutest privilege to work alongside the
amazing women that uplift me, that appreciate me and that
work alongside me to give you my route.
and,
And I promised to continue.
And I promised to continue rooting my values and Rudy has
practice. And continue working alongside my black and brown
brothers and sisters. Thank you so much.

Thank you. Mister president is unfortunate in my life that
I grew up a little too far. North on a city, to not be able
to grow up in a lot of the movement and activism for being
able to see it. But I wanted to rise in support of this
resolution because this Council would not look the way it
does now and the city would not look the way it does now,
but for the work of Rudy Lozano back.
Don't.
A.
Some people live long healthy lives and they work as much
as they can and they don't have a fraction of the impact
that Rudi had in such a short life and we do our best here
to try to honor that Legacy. I said it and passed terms and
I will be more tactful in this term to say that if it
wasn't for Rudy's work, and reaching out to the black
community and making sure that there was a coalition, we
would not have what I believe to be the greatest mayor and
my favorite mayor. No disrespect is plenty of time in mayor
Harold, Washington, who I believe, move the city forward
and created the models that we've been duplicated to make
sure that we could be in the kind of city and have the kind
of marriage. We do now because I think of constantly about
what the alternate universe would look like if he had
someone else in that seat and it would not be a good day
for Chicagoland. So I'm glad that you're
I'm glad.
I'm glad that this.
I'm glad that this city looks the way it does. I'm glad to
be of a council that continuing to push these issues board
and what we take lessons from the past and continue to
build a coalition. That's very, especially in the time we
find ourselves. Now, we're so easy to be divided when we
look at all the crises that we have to face. We have an
example to follow. And I know we're talkin about history,
but we should always be mindful that were talking about our
present and our future and that we need to take. Even if
it's a second of our time, a day of our time, a week of our
work to do a fraction of a Trudy had done in his time, to
make sure we continue that Legacy and make sure that our
city continues to look better, that is more reflective when
we look at this Council. That it represents the people in
margin like the most in our Steve, the voice of that have
never been heard in the parts of town that never get the
investment. We will continue to be at work in tribute to
Rudy's work and make sure that not just once a year, right?
But every moment we can we carry that spirit in that legacy
and our work to move our city forward. So thank you so much
for everything you've done
continue to.
Continue to do to make this city great. Thank you. Thank
you.

the activism and all of the pushing that you all do and
have done over the years to fight. The many people in Fight
For Justice for everyone in our society. And I are
committing the fact that routing Not only was he an

part cuz I already knew what Rudy Lozano and his Coalition

appreciated because it provided a lot of resources for me
as a new alderperson. And just as a citizen of the city of
Chicago and someone who functions in this world, to learn
about the things that we can do to make sure that we are
living in an inclusive society. That includes everybody of
all abilities. I recently over the last couple of months,
I've had a ongoing conversation with a constituent of mine
really likes my newsletter but had a lot to say about its
accessibility
and honestly,
And honestly, I was remiss in not having seen that and
we've been having an ongoing dialogue. She gives me
feedback almost every week now on things that we can do to
improve accessibility and it really opened my eye to the
things that we take for granted cuz it's not just physical
physical barriers that are that exist in the world. But
virtual ones ones that we can't see into people with
intellectual disabilities as well. They see the world a
little bit differently and yet they are here in the world
with us. They are friends are family, their neighbors. But
thank you for all of the work that each and every one of
you sitting in the Box to do to fight for the rights of it.
For people with an, excuse me, individuals with
disabilities to be able to live and function in the society
and enjoy everything that we have in this city. It's in you
to be a good partner with you on all that.

Thank you mr. President, for two months we've been talking

this is my third first, as a first fire man. Ever elected

elected, two different words. And unfortunately, I believe
I'm the first other man ever to be in a wheelchair,
certainly a wheelchair for seven years since I've been
here. So, but it's, it's been a challenge. I think we've
made a lot of we've made a lot of progress in the seven
years. You know, when you're you're not disabled, you don't
realize what's going on. Other than other than the parking
thing. You would not believe the amount of people that
don't have handicap plates or placard and park in the
handicap parking. I'm sure many people can say that, or if
they don't park in the spot Park in the Striped out spot
because we need to be like in the car. What do we have a
lift or whatever? But, you know, people just have to
realize we're just normal or just like you don't have to
get on my face to talk to me and I don't mean to send

In Spirited way, you can stand up and talk to me, don't
have to get on your knees to get two inches away from me. I
could hear you on that deaf. I'm not blind. I'm just in a
wheelchair, right, but I appreciate everybody so many
people here and looked out for me in this world. Strangers
on the street. Just want to give you a push, help you out
some of the people at the, you know, you might be
stereotyping. Look at her. Somebody to think they're
somewhat of a thug and almost under the guise. I hate. Hey
sir, can I help you out the ramp or something? So, you
know, I really see as most of these people though, I
believe you see the good in people and disabled and being
in a wheelchair. But I just want to say I stand with my
brothers and sisters over there and supporters resolution,
which we never had a resolution like this. But thanks,

and before I've been able to learn a lot more about the
community, I want to say thank you for those learnings. I
when we think about disability, it is not an, if it is a
when we all end up there, right? When we get older, we find
that our bodies go to what they go through and it becomes a
challenge. And I think we need to be mindful of that when
we think about what the city does to support our just say,
Communal.
Community and Neighbors.
Community and neighbors. And so I feel very proud that in
this month. We can actually move forward with legislation
as set up a pilot to clear snow from our sidewalks. Because
we think about how challenging it is to get from point A to
point B for some of our neighbors. It's something we needed
to do and I'm glad that we're doing it now. I know there's
much more work to do. I look for to partner with mayor's
office for people with disabilities to make sure that it's
not just in conversation or in speeches that were in
support but that were changing legislation and making sure
that we're not to speaking for folks but working with them
and that our leadership comes from the communities as well.
So that we can make our city one. That is truly open for
everyone and accommodating for all our neighbors, thank you
very much was president.

Are recognized as Alderman Lawson to strongly support the
resolution. I grew up with two cousins on four wheels, my
mom's cousin. So just go to the issues were always part of
our family. My dad is a designer and designed a zero
threshold home for them. It was all ramps, including to the
basement, for their living caregiver. We would pile into
their big van with a lift and sit on the floor and go to
the South side, and go to the Sox game and sit in the worst
season ever. I don't know how that they were like, now
they're much better, but it was always part of our lives.
And I remember when the 88 pass on my cousin spell, if they
were truly seen by everyone, they were known in their small
town characters. Get people to get together with that. They
were really seen and it's something that I think on this
anniversary so many years later, we have to recommit
ourselves to, you know, I represent the 44th Ward.

times, but really on accessible housing. So we need public

Thank you, mr. President, I rise in support of this
resolution and thinking about all of your words. I was
thinking about how much were reflecting on History here
today. And I thought about the words of one of our Chicago
poets Gwendolyn Gwendolyn Brooks. Who said sweet is it to
sleep in the coolness of snug unawareness? And it made me
think about that snug on awareness that I have the
privilege of moving through this world as an able-bodied.
Chicagoan how much I take for granted, how much privilege I
carry that every room is accessible to be that every media
is accessible to me based off of how I function and it all
in Lawson, even with your words. When he talks about
building, not only hundred
Affordable 100% accessible housing, housing rebuild every
day in this city and the need to take that more. Seriously,
I know everyone in this box is committed to keeping us
accountable and keep continuing to challenges. Not only
this day with the votes that were talking about which my
colleagues have already referenced. But every day until
this city makes itself fully available to every resident of
it. Thank you so much for shaking us out of that
unawareness. Thank you.
Thank.
Thank you. Are there any other members of the spider that
was to speak to this resolution? See, you know, their

because of the incredible organizing and leaders from
across this country that sort of this passage of this ad
come to fruition. And so it is with this recognition of the
passage of this act that we honor the Chicago 1s with
disabilities throughout the month of July. During this
month, we will always seek to end the stigma around
disability, and celebrate the diversity and individuals
with disabilities. Bring to the sole of Chicago. Over 30
years after the passing. The Ada. Why we've come a long way
is still work to be done in as mayor. I will continue to

Matter, as some of, you know, I've been a lawyer for 17
years, seven of those years. I worked as an assistant
State's Attorney defending the people of representing, the
people of Cook County here locally. And during that time, I
had the pleasure of working with thousands of great police
officers, and I also have the responsibility of Prosecuting
and convicting 33 process through three police officers of
felonies. In all of those cases, I weighed the evidence
wherever it may lead and you met were calling the last
council meeting, I spoke up in favor of voting for a, a
settlement that was that was controversial. And today after
reviewing the evidence, I asked you to vote no on this
settlement as a bit of a review of the evidence. In this
case, we had two police officers, who indicated a the
plaintiff pointed a gun at the
and an
And and and the plaintiff, then fled, you had one police
officer. One of the two who subsequently indicated the
plane to point a gun at him. Again, at that point, the
officers fired at him as news. Reports indicate that I'm a
semi-automatic weapon capable of firing multiple shots with
one trigger, pull was recovered at the scene, indicating
the grave and imminent threat. That faced the police
officers. In this case, if they're showing I did review or
see the recitation of the medical examiner's report from
from Corporation counsel, and they did say, it was okay, to
take the stress. And in that, in that report of the nine
bullets that struck the plaintiff, eight of them struck the
plaintiff in the front, indicating that the plaintiff was
facing the officers. In question, here, it is also worth
noting that Deborah clear the officers, at that time. Now
this incident happened in 2014. So this was before body,
Record.
Of course. So based on the officer's indications. Also
buttressed by the semi-automatic handgun recovered at the
scene and the medical examiner's report. It is my
estimation that there was strong evidence of the imminent,
threat that faced these police officers during this time
and therefore, I ask that you vote. No. On this $2000000
settlement. Thank you. Thank you. Are there any other

Thank you, mr. President and good afternoon members of the

first time speaking.
and,
I won't be my last sorry or Clan.
but I
Try rise in opposition to this settlement.
Only.
Fully aware that counsel for. This is here in the gallery
with us today because there are a number of issues that I
take
With.
with this, the fact of the matter is that we've seen our Law
Department,
Over many years and months bring this class action
settlement.
Down increasingly both, in terms of scope of pay out as
well as participants.
We are on the right track. If we continue pushing back on
this lawsuit, which seeks to say that nearly 2.5 million
arrest in the city of Chicago over several Year. We're all
racist.
Tennessee.
In a city that is plagued by gang violence in a city where
we have seen time and time. Again, the impact the gangs
have in our neighborhoods, I'm Living testament to spite
their best efforts of that fact.
I'm
I know that if you are incorporating, the arrests made by
officers were engaged in my neighborhood. We're going after
those known Target in our community. Those individuals who
were committed committing their lives to terrorizing their
neighbors
The.
The blanket leave.
The blanket. We tell our police officers today that we're
going to settle an agreement and say that all of those
arrests were racist is wrong, mr. President, it's
outrageous that we are allowing yet again.
The crew.
The criminal to dictate the terms in this city.
What?
What's more outrageous is that this settlement also
mandates that there has to be changes?
To.
To how we engage and how we execute.
The gang, loitering ordinance changes that we're not supply
to this body.
Do they?
Though, they were requested changes. That the lot and I did
a lot of partment nor cpd's would give us. Tell us, or
explain to us. But here we are, today agreeing to the
unknown
I'd
I do.
I don't need to know the unknown mr. President because I
already know where that life leads. I've seen it firsthand
when gang Bangerz. Come after your children in 7th and 6th
grade when gang members indoctrinated, their cousin, their
brothers, their sisters, when they terrorize their parents
and when they stand on the corners and flaunt it all
special.
Especially knowing now that we are going to further
handcuff our police and say that we can engage with those
known individuals.
But what?
but once every 12 hours,
why bother at that point?
Wife.
Why stop at that?
Who cares at that point?
We might as well just give them the guns ourselves and call
it a day because that's what we're doing by agreeing to
this other changes that could be made. Absolutely. Should
we discuss them? Absolutely? Should we make sure that we
hold the right people accountable. Absolutely mr. President
but we don't know if that's going to happen we don't know
what any of this is going to lead to because no one will
tell us what's going on. All were told today is to settle
this cut our losses.
and we,
And move on to the next.
Set.
Settlement.
I've
I see.
I said it before, I'll say it again. And I'll keep saying
it till I'm blue in the face or dead in the grave, we have
to stop paying these lawsuits to the criminals who are
taking full advantage of the city of Chicago.
It is outrageous.
The.
That.
That we allow our Law Department to tell us.
at the,
It does.
But this is in our best interest, it is not the message
that it sends resounds loud and clear the neighborhoods.
Gang Bangerz already know they already recording a moment
and officer shows up just to see what they're doing.
They're already like this.
They?
They know because they know what we're willing to tolerate.
Then don't want that, we have no spine to stand up to them
and they were quick to sign the check to make it all go
away. The only problem is it never goes away.
The old.
The only way it goes away.
Is by arresting them and enforcing the law, consistently
and effectively, which we can do but that's not what we're
being asked to do today. We're at the blindly, say yes to
make this go away.
and,
And I think our taxpayers have had enough, but encourage
our members here today to say no again to lawsuits where we
know our officers have done the right thing where they have
followed the law, where they have gone after the magnets in
our communities. And yes,
have a
Have they been African-American and Latino? Yes, but I'd be
surprised if they pulled over a Latino gang banger in my
neighborhood. Know I'd be more shots. They pulled over
white gang banger.
But in communities where we are the overwhelming
demographic, it should be expected that we are going to be
the ones who were going to get pulled over when we are
acting a fool in our in our own communities. That's
something we need to stand with our own families and our
own blocks.
but,
But not like this. Thank you, mr. President.
Thank you.
Thank you old man. The chair recognizes Alderman. Conduit
you know, I obviously take it, take a
Ray.
great deal of effort trying to review some of these cases
with the law department and some things I would like to say
on this is Corporation counsel, always does excellent work
even my last remarks is not questioning their behavior, but
in this particular case, it was really fantastic. The work
that Corporation counsel's office did as well as outside
counsel here and end to Alderman Lopez Point Breath. You
Take Comfort, although it's kind of disturbing and I'll be
over almost five million dollars settlement about 4.8
million Jack, she can go to the lawyers. It's not even
going to go to to the people affected in that, so this
class action suit, however results comes from five
individual lawsuit. Should have been put really put
together after a long long trip through federal court and
the way section 1983 in section 1988 work is if we lose any
one of those five cases, the amount of liability we have on
the on the attorney, the attorneys fees side of this can
greatly.
See, the 59.
See the 5 million dollars at play here. So based on that, I
know I spoke passionately to the other way to on the
previous matter but I'm this one, I would urge my
colleagues to vote. Yes, thank you.
Thank.
Thank you old man. The chair recognizes alderman. Sposato.
Thank.
Thank you, mr. President unfortunately, I support this
settlement. This was not an easy one, just like while I'm
in Conway said, I don't think many people have voted more
noise than me, but my nose are. I feel educated knows? I go
to the briefing, I've been gone forever, pathetic turnout,
for the briefing, but that's a whole nother story. We can
talk about it another day, but yeah, I just feel it as much
as it pains me is something I have to support. Once again,
think it was like a hundred thousand to five different
people in the rest of the money, went to get tourney. So, I
didn't think we have much of a choice, but a little bit
that I know, but you do whatever you want cuz I can never
encouraged you to vote know. So, I'm not encourage you to
vote. Yes, but I just want to have my say,
take me.
thank you. Thank you. All them in the chair. Recognizes
Alderman, Napolitano.
Take me.
Taking this present, I'll make mine really quick. I'm
pretty impressed in. What just happened here today? The
last eight years when we vote on these settlements, as you
know, many cases, I'm a note and the reason being is I
actually take the time to read into these cases. I don't
just sit in front of our briefings and say this is the way
they want you to vote. This is why you're going to go with
that way, and come in here and voted. Yes, I'm glad that we
have Altima Conway here. Now that can eloquently explained
the goods and pros of this. I'm more on the Fly.
Inside.
Inside of Mor the caveman. So I can't do it as as well as
he did, what you need to do your due. Diligence is older
men and older women and read these cases. Ask question you
need to talk to the police department. If you have a chance
if you can talk to the victim, that's also good road to
take as well. But for eight years, we've been voting. Yes,
is on cases for eight years. We've been asking. Hey, what's
the you know what happens when we try some of these, these
cases in court, and I can't sit here, any longer and hear
that? Put your money, where your mouth is and you pay for
it because it is my money, my tax dollars, it's your text
dollars, it's your constituents tax dollars. All I'm asking
for is for you to do your due diligence on both sides of
everything. You don't have to be with me. You don't have to
be against me but don't just go in there and say yes to
something because you were told to in our briefing. That's
not the way this is supposed to be done. I get ridiculed
for it constantly, but I do my due diligence, and I read
into these cases.
and I,
And I see the different aspects of what happened in the
situation and I vote. Yes. Or if needed and know where it's
not needed. And I asked you to do the same as well. And I
will not, I promise you. I will not have any animosity
towards anyone for the yes or no vote. Like happens all the
time down here as well.
Thank.
Thank you.
Thank you, mr. President, thank you. All them in the chair.
Recognizes ottoman Vasquez.
Thank.
Thank you, mr. President, I did not plan on, speaking on
any of this, I really respect our colleagues. Making the
cases on these settlements. I want to come in autumn, in
Conway and Alderman Lopez for having a fair argument.
That's what the public spaces for, I do appreciate that. We
are having discussions. Now, I've always been in the
mindset that I know what city I was born and raised in a
city that every year has over a hundred million dollars of
misconduct settlement, a city that has added a consent
decree for a reason. Because we know that if you happen to
live in this city and you're black or brown, it's not the
same experience and we have money that we pay out every
single year to show for it. That being said, we have to
have a full conversations to discuss.
And key.
and keeping the
In keeping with due diligence as we start having these
conversations and we start seeing what I anticipate to be
more no votes. We should also keep track of the cases that
we lose and how much money we end up losing to the
taxpayers have to pay that as well. So, I am fully
comfortable with the fact that we're not going to create
the council. But I do take a little bit of umbrage to the
conversation. Because we live in black and brown
communities. Cops are going to be able to pull over more
black and brown Polk speaker.
that's the
That's just the way it is. Our families either raised our
kids better. It is ignorant to say that when we talked
about a city that since its Inception have been segregated.
So we have communities here that don't get the same amount
of funding that are disinvested in where communities and
families of color are broken over Generations. So you can't
do that to a people and then Generations down the line.
Wonder will where are the parents or what's going on? You
have you been arresting people for over 50 years over close
to a hundred years here in this city and they're they're
gone and they're locked up and then they have to put
together families after that. When there's no job
opportunities with a vestment is it happened to community
where you can't get the same level of street cleaning or
pothole, feels or treat rims covered. And then you want to
say well as must be the family's fault, Philly they must be
gang Bangerz. I would ask that. I remember do a little more
homework there into the actual history of this city because
absolutely fair that people to be held accountable for
committing crimes against other folks. That is what lies
about what we are.
The Wrecking.
How to recognize that, what the city is done, which people
is the cause of some of these results. And I refuse to
accept the fact that I would be surprised if there was a
white person getting pulled over.
that's,
That's a horrible statement. Even stay in this body.
so,
So yeah, everyone can vote their conscience. Everyone to do
their homework. I invite the fact, they were able to debate
these things out, because they're going to be times where
we, maybe shouldn't agree on the settlement, but I will be
damned if we talk like that in this Council, know we were
sent people of color people that I'm broke too, but they're
trying to survive out here and some that are wrongly
convicted where we had people being tortured by the police.
What we know we're paying money out of an act like none of
it happened and try to just speak as if this is brand new
Chicago's better than that. Thank you, mr. President.
Thank you. The chair recognizes Alderman, Irving's.
Famous.
Famous president tries to take issue with the comments from
the alderman of the 41st Ward. All of us. In our individual
capacities, have a right to bility to sit down, go through
the fast, go through the evidence and make a make a
decision. I do not believe that.
Anyone who?
Anyone, here is acting.
Anyone here is acting in any way that is not in the
interest of the city. And I think some of us actually, you
know, take a look at both sides of these particular issues,
understanding that while we are all the people who also
fiduciaries to the to the citizens of the city and have to
also look at what the best benefits are for this steady
grinding, I'm just as Alderman Vasquez, just stated, we
have a troubled history and into make that blanket
statement I think it is is not correct in, not in the best
interest of us trying to a move, the ball forward and be
protect our taxpayers in our city. So I think we all have
to collectively, you know, take a look at this Inn in
Solomons frazada, was is probably correct in saying that we
need to spend more time dealing with this issue. And also,
as we talked about years before the issue of risk
management in totality, which is something that I believe I
nuke or
The council.
The council will.
The council will begin to address but again, we can't paint
everyone with the bra breast in this particular situation
because all of us have our various reasons for voting the
way that we do. But ultimately, we have to make sure that
we respond only to the Char police officers across the
tracks. No. So I said, thank you very much. Thank you.
The chi.
The chair recognizes Alderman, Napolitano, I apologize. I'll
make this very quick. Make a blanket statement.
Thank you, mr.
Thank you, miss your present for mommy said, as most of you
men, say all of you. And the reason what I would I've done
to put that fourth is in the eight years. I've gone up to
Alderman and said, what did you think about the case? What
information did you get about the case? And I have been
told it's got in the briefing, that was it or did it go
with the briefing. So I didn't get it to all of you. And I
did it with no anger in my voice of telling you that what
you're doing is wrong, I just said, put a little more
effort into reading the case, other than what you hear in
that briefing. So, there is no blanket if statement to
everybody, it's the ones that I've asked, what information,
have you sought out past those briefings? And from a large
amount of people in this, this body has said nothing. It's
what I got in that briefing and I said, just do your due
diligence. Thank you, mr. President, thank you, chair
recognizes.
Alder.
Alderman laspada.
Thank.
Thank you, mr. President, Goodluck since we're having the
conversation, what what did I think of the case? I thought
that I heard that 2.5 million people. I've been pulled over
over the last ten years, nearly equivalent of Chicago over
the last 10 years. I heard that if this goes to trial p
Will potentially hear evidence of unconstitutionality by
the Chicago police officers. I heard that the four people
who are the defendants in this case had never had criminal
charges filed against them. Thank you chair. As a result of
these stops. And I heard that because of what we're doing
today, these pedestrian stops are going to be brought into
the consent decree, so we can analyze what is happening and
put forward reasonable policy. Proposals, moving forward.
That that's what I heard. And that's why I'm voting in
favor of the settlement today. Thank you. Mister prison.
Thank you though. It sounds like we all understand her
homework assignments in the chair recognizes chairwoman
down.
Thank.
Thank you, mr. President, I definitely think this is a good
discussion, we're having in this public forum today. I
would say that I would encourage more people to come to the
briefing. And to ask the question because then you would
find out that the, as Alderman was spotted has said that
the people that were settling with today have no criminal
background. So, we need to ask the kind of questions that
would give us more clarity. I'm and I ask that you support
this settlement today because it's the right thing to do.
These people were innocent, they were stopped. I mean, we
have seen where we need to work, things out.
In.
in the
In the police.
In the police department so that people are more equitably
treated in our communities. And this is just something that
we have to do because it was the wrong thing to do when the
police are right? We support them when it's wrong. We have
to hold them accountable. Thank you mr. President, thank

Thank you, mr. President and members of city council

which held an in-person meeting on July 10th 2023. The
committee has a series of reports, recommending passage of
five ordinances, one of which is Atlanta's position and
for, which are never stayed in lansdale's. One item was
debated by the fair. In committing the following our group
for convenience,

months, shelter for homeless, the wraparound Health
Services as part of the assembly station, housing, pilot
program, before I move an emotion with these item, all them
in batches of the 40th. Ward would like to be recognized to
speak on this most shares worth 90. German the chair
recognizes Armand Vasquez. Thank you, Miss president. Thank
you. Members of the council for allowing me to a moment to
speak on this item off of those of you who may not know
where the committee with this item is, is acquisition by
the city of Chicago of a motel to convert into Bridge or
stabilization housing. So, when we think about what we're
dealing with, as far as the crisis of homelessness in our
city, and what
when do the
When do the address it, this create a pilot based on
learning that occurred during covid-19 covid. As some of
you may remember we had a lot of homeless, folks, who
weren't able to be in congregate, shelter out of risk of
their own lives, and being sick due to covid. When to City
took over in a hotel and use the different units to house,
neighbor, to run house because of it. They were able to
find out that it led to positive outcomes.
Not on.
Not only for health.
Not only for health reasons. But also folks were able to
find jobs able to find permanent housing and because of
those learnings the Department of Public Health along with
d, o, h Department of Housing, sought to create a pilot's,
where they would acquire motels to create a non congregate
housing. So if that is, his housing for each person gets
the Dignity of their own, you know, where the on-site, they
would find medical support systems, Mental Health, Services
services that they have substance use disorder. And so, and
we think about the times, we find ourselves as we're on one
hand, we have migrants that we're trying to shelter, but we
have an existing on house population, it clearly needs
housing cuz it is a human, right? And we don't have enough
shelter for all of them to create this kind of pilot allows
us all the opportunity that experience scale it out, part
of what this pilot does. As well as provide those Services
is, it has a community referral program. What the learning
listen.
I'll see you.
The city. Where is that? Their taxpayers are paying way too
much because Summer on houseboat recycling, through
systems, that can provide long-term help there going into
the, ER. Day in and day out there going to see PD or are
the police are pulling them over and they're not finding a
long-term solution. So you're actually losing money as a
taxpayer. The paper systems that don't solve everything in
the long run. By doing this kind of pilot. You're able to
really take the journey with someone who needs that support
to help them find jobs without them find home.
and because
And because there's a community referral program when we
see folks were out on the streets, living in tents in a
Parks week and then refer them to one of these Bridge,
housing unit unit in our own Ward. So I wanted to come in
our mayor of partnering up to be able to acquire this
property so that that pilot can then show in 2 years. The
results of providing somebody housing because we know that
when it comes to homelessness, police aren't going to solve
the issue. And police know that this is not only a health
issue, it's also Public Safety want it allows us to
allocate the resources properly and I are hope that is that
we can come back. I do regular reporting on what's
Happening Here and that we show the success after the
pilot. So we can multiply it out across our town, knowing
we only have enough housing for about 30 100, folks, and no
we may have as many as 5,000 out their homes. So, again,
thank you for helping me move this forward. I look forward
to success and look forward to seeing this pilot take off.
Has president. Thank you Alderman, German 60 Lopez. Thank

Israel is a racist State. And I am here today to say that
Israel is not a racist age. It is a thriving democracy

We?
We are about to embark on a pilot program that will
ultimately. Hopefully I should say result in plow. The
sidewalk is Municipal service. I want to thank the
advocates for really doing a great Grassroots campaign
around the subject. And I remember when I first came to me
and wanted to introduce a budget amendment in the last
budget to try to see if they can get a plow, the sidewalk
pilot program explained that it's not that easy by the
budget amendment. However you have my commitment that we
will put forward an opportunity and ordinance to work for
it to trying to get a plow the sidewalk silvertooth largest
cities in North America like Toronto, Syracuse Rochester.
That provide this as a municipal service,
fitting that
Fitting that we're also celebrating a disability pride
month this month which talks to Equitable access while
Chicagoans around the city. And for the millions of people
that come to the city of Chicago, nearly 600,000 Chicagoans

Many Chicagoans are participating in every aspect of what
our world-class city has to offer. I want to thank chairman
Irvin for recommending, the amendment is, I often say when
an alderman are all the woman has an idea on how to change

to get it passed and so appreciate the recommendation on
the substitute in which you have which passed out of the
committee is a substitute that talks directly to studying
it.
Take.
Taking a look.
Taking a look at other what other cities are are doing. It
are doing about the plow the sidewalk and then coming back.
To see.
The city council would its findings which are the budget as
well as the zones in the pilot areas that would come until
that will come into into a fact. So, this is the first step
in moving forward with a municipal plow the sidewalk. And I
can tell you that Toronto, which is similarly sized in
population, as well as the way that's laid out. Plows her
sidewalks a hundred percent of their sidewalks in 13 hours.
Now if we choose to do it through Municipal, Municipal
workers, or take that endeavor on herself creates jobs. But
I would hope that we move forward at the pilot. Would take
a look at a hybrid approach cuz we can also contract out
these these, these opportunities as well, which in turn
would allow for Youth Opportunity to work during the winter
months, as they're working done, asked during the summer
months in the winter months, they can participate in this
in this pilot program. So depending on how the
administration come back on

All the working group comes back with his findings. I think
this is a good opportunity. Good step to making sure that

that urged passage of this ordinance. Thank you. All to the

Thank you, mister president.
you know, I'm
I'm conflicted.
By this concept. On the one hand, I understand my
colleagues May understand The Advocates desire to eat to
help other individuals. And many of you in this room do
that yourselves. I know I the number of others here,
actually have our own teams that go out and help shovel
snow for. Our seniors are for individuals with disabilities
and things of that nature. But I also know that we're
talking about creating another government program to do,
what other people should be doing themselves and could be
doing themselves.
I'm
I know.
I know we're talking about creating an opportunity.
To expand our reach and neighborhoods when we can already
barely maintain the reach we have now.
All.
All I have to do is look in any neighborhood on the south
and west side and see how we still struggle just to
maintain vacant, lots. And now we're going to be
maintaining sidewalks to
Dad.
Daddy.
That is real. And that is something we offer now that is
something that we spend six million dollars, if I'm not
mistaken roughly on private contractors, just to cut grass.
and we,
And we haven't even figured out that right?
We?
We work with our contractors, I know Streets & Sanitation,
I know Cole in the whole team do their best and we're
working with people or working with. As I just heard my
colleagues, say we can make this an opportunity to hire. We
can use it as a contact weather in Hauser. Outhouse are
handled by contractors.
Play.
But at the end of the day, we're going to add more than we
need to perfect what we're doing now.
and,
And we have a lot of areas where we see the best of
intentions.
Pave, a road that goes the wrong direction. Mr. President,
so I'm actually do, I don't agree with this. I am going to
support the implementation of of the pilot so that we can
have this discussion. But I think that as this pilate moves
forward, it has to look at what some of the best practices.
And some of the deficits we seen and services that we
provide to our residents already where those failures have
been historically and consistently and how we address and
try to improve the quality of life in neighborhoods, when
we're dealing with issues, that again, should be someone
else's responsibility that we are taking up.
Cutting Crew.
Cutting grass.
Cutting grass is what we do now.
We are.
We have our issues. Now, you want to plow the sidewalks?
Wheel.
We will undoubtedly have issues there too, but before we
jump into the next greatest thing, let's focus on finding a
way to make sure that the current greatest thing that we do
is working for all of us. So that we're not just creating
another program. It does.
Hey.

I've been around here a little while.
and,
And I've seen programs come and go. I've seen ideas Hood in

and,
And I would tell you, I believe that this one is in the bad
category.
We already don't have the resources to plow the streets in
a timely manner when we get heavy snow.
Now.
Now we're going to tell people don't worry about staying
your house. Don't worry about digging yourself out. The
city is on the way.
I have.
I have one of the largest ward in this city and it takes me
8 to 10 hours just to plow my street and that's just one
pass.
One pass with some of your rewards extremely tiny, you are
getting Kirby curb service because you have a small grid
based on the ward. And I don't want to get those phone
calls from my residence and when's the Phillies going to
plow my sidewalk? Because that's what's going to happen.
So, let's open our eyes and understand what you are really
opening yourself up for
You do.
because when the city doesn't come and plow the sidewalk,
they going to call your office. And when did they coming?
I'm trying to get out. I can't, sidewalk.
and we,
And what you going to say? They on they way the city is
coming.
We?
We talked about creating job y Mateus. You wiping out. You
wiping out the low 8 to 12 year old who wants to walk up
and down the street and shovel people snow and get that
five $10 for shoveling people snow.
that's,
Bathroom.
That's what job you going to wipe out. The person who's
trying to save money to buy skateboard for the summer.
So when you open up, this can of worms, just understand
that can is going to be enormous, and it's going to cost
the taxpayers, a few hundred million dollars because we get
a real big snow.
A real bad winner and you've got to hit it two or three
times a week.
Google answer that call man. Right now we don't have enough
staff. Okay, so just understand what you're doing. It ain't
a good thing but I'm going to tell you if this passes and
it goes forward and we get the snow. When we roll this
program out, I'm just going to forward all my calls to your
wall.
Thank.
Thank you old man. The chair recognizes old woman had
I'm excited to support this pilot.
I haven't been here that long but I'll stay, so it might be
a reason. Some of us knew. Her folks, might be a little
more hopeful about what city government can do to bring
more services to our constituents.
I'd
I do want to lift up Alderman. Beales points though, having
the opportunity to have worked in many different words in
the city, before being the older person of the 49th Ward,
we have a ton of an equity and Health Services are
delivered to especially our South in west side towards
those larger geographies. We are not and we have not served
their constituents with the infrastructure and service
needs in the way that we should. I live in Rogers Park, in
the 49th Ward is is small. We do have a small grid and in
your right, right. It's a it's a smaller geography but
isn't it time the city figured it out? Right? So I'm
excited to support this and I think we should keep pushing.
I think all of them deals points and Alderman Lopez has
points are well-taken. We've got to push, cuz if the city
of Chicago, can't figure out our staffing in our services.
What are we here for? So, look forward to supporting this
and the challenge that our colleagues have taken on
Diego San.
Diego Center.
Degas and Alderman laspada, and as a co-sponsor as well for
this commission to really figure it out. Thank you. Thank
you. Old woman, the chair recognizes Alderman. Sposato.
Thank you, mr. President I certainly didn't plan on
speaking on this I am happy it went from we're going to
definitely do it is to a working committee. I hope that
working committee is listening right now and it would be
commissioner Stallard and b.i.g. I'm guessing there.
I do.
I don't know who else is on.
I don't know who else is on the working committee. This is
an impossibility, in my opinion. I know Alderman Lopez
said, I know there's a few of us probably a lot more than I
think about other men that have snow programs. We actually
even have some
Congrats programs. I don't know how we could possibly do
this on her at what. Expense. I can tell you that the
airport has a army of people sitting around are waiting for
snow November 1st, April 1st and I don't know what the plan
is. If these people are going to be on call or whatever,
this is just not something, I don't think would work, I
don't know. Whatever happened to it being a good neighbor
and helping your neighbor out back in the day when I could
walk. I plowed my whole black, I never took any money. Of
course, it was either me and another neighbor's three of us
do something. He was three of us some things. It was one of
us out, sometimes with me. Sometimes it was them, but not a
good idea. Financial ramifications would be a Monumental
for us to talk to hand, no talking about jobs. Of course
everybody wants to see people get jobs. Just to let my
colleague there know about of the number to. He's not
number one and we keep talking about number ones around
here, but
I know.
On the northwest side and they get, they get like $34 for
for a shovel in the house. So I'm sorry to hear that I get
5 or 10 bucks on the south side. But this is, this is not
something. This is not something I could smart, but I am
glad that the committee is looking at this and I'm pretty
confident. They'll realize this isn't feasible. Just to let
you know, I don't know if you noticed mayor or anybody
knows? This is anybody talk to commissioner Stallard
lately? I asked him, how many people to shorten Street
since and you don't have to answer. I'll, let you figure it
out. I'm not going to tell you how many people were short
and streets and San right now. Let alone to try to get an
army of people per Ward who got first, who got second, why
do the west side of my work first as opposed to the east
side or North and South Bend going to be a disaster? Hope
he knows people are listening. I just want to have my say,
that's not a good idea. Thank you, mr. President chair.
Recognizes Alderman Vasquez.
Thank you, Miss president and I do appreciate the arguments
here. A second term. Her first term, we were faced with the
challenge. A lot of us rookies are faced with, we have
seniors and disabled folks in our Ward who every winter,
you get two inches of snow are more and no one's looking
out for. So we had to do in the 40th Ward, as we got our
neighbors, and we created the shovel Squad a little bit
before covid. So we do about 100 to 200 seniors are
disabled folks, homes and clear out the front. So it is
Possible. Even
Possible even on a volunteer fashion to get some of this
done. If he if he threshold for not doing something is
because it's challenging, then we should give up on
potholes and tree trim and led service replacement and
everything else that happens to be a challenge in this
city. Last time I checked oh the reason why I liked it is
to solve the problems not to just say we can't solve them.
That's a lot of taxpayer dollars to write problem with
until you can't do it. As opposed to actually working to
put together a pilot part of what are Mega ran on is having
Youth Employment. Having the jobs, creating the kind of
investment in people that keep them from actually going
elsewhere and having live, they're not the most productive,
right? Having a city job that can have benefits that can
have a decent wage takes people off the streets. We talked
about Public Safety. This is also Public Safety to Think
Through. I prefer that we can have one summer and we had
also won winter, perhaps, and have folks come out and work
there or work all year. Round. This invest
The people.
The people in.
People. And it's funny that you put on the front end, save
this money on the back end when it comes to public safety
issues when it comes to the public, to the police
misconduct issues that we mentioned before, when it comes
to communities. And why your guns in these kids? Me because
nobody put a shovel in it. Maybe they never had an
opportunity to find work to do where they live. Also, if
you're paying out a 30 to 40 bucks on the northwest side
and five bucks or whatever it feels toward it, speaks of
the inequity. We keep talking about over here. So maybe you
should set up a
Will you get?
Will you get paid the same amount? No matter what part of
town you're in to actually help your community out? That is
what we mean by investing in people. Because that person
that made me have that first job shoveling to be, just like
that person. I was interning and then came to the city
council or runs for Office later or hasn't actual
confidence in what government can do again, if the
threshold is pay is too hard to do so we're not going to do
it.
I see.
I say we think running for these seats cuz what we're here
to do is to fix things to make our city better. Our city
being that invested in us as what Goddess here, we have to
continue in and pay it forward. Thank you mr. President.

Thank you.
Thank you so much. For those of you that don't know, I was
born in February, 1989 here, in the beautiful city of
Chicago, and if you listen to my mom, every time she
retains the story, The amount of snow, we have to walk over
to get to the car, to get to the hospital keeps growing, so
maybe would like a foot and then, it was two feet. But the
point is, is I know the Chicago winter. I was born in the
Chicago, winter and growing up. I love the sound of my
abuelito. My grandfather shoveling the snow in the winter
one cuz I wasn't shovel. He was butt too because that was
associated with growing up in a neighborhood in the city of
Chicago. You had to go, grab your shovel, go out, shovel.
That's what we all had to do to make sure that the sidewalk
was possible to make sure.
Journey.
Her neighbors could get through, I have concerns about the
feasibility of this program, but what I will never ever
opposed to is having a collaborative conversation to figure
this out. This mayor campaign on supporting this issue. He
convened a group of four hundred plus Chicagoans to talk
about all of the issues facing our city. They came together
with a very beautiful transition report which has been
emailed out to all of you. I suggest you read it, it is
over 200 pages but there's a lot of good stuff in there and
the committee that looked at Transportation issues
recommended the implementation of this program because
there are a lot of very smart people that have worked for a
very long time to think through the issues of how you can
get a program like this stood up this ordinance that were
voting on. Today, does not establish the public sidewalks
program.
It does.
It does not say that commissioner salad has to do XYZ. The
only thing this does is create a working group to have a
conversation to figure out these issues with the hope that
not this winter but next winter as we go into the winter of
2020 for 2025 that we will be able to have a pilot program
that can begin to test it. Okay. If you're going to move in
this direction, if the city is going to do it, how do you
get it done? So I really want to come and first of all, our
mayor for working. So, collaboratively with everyone to get
us to this point, of course, the chair production Traffic
Safety, Alderman laspada of course the chief sponsor.
let me go be
Let me go be a ghost because if you're going to go down this
New Path, this is how you do it. You do it collaboratively,
you do it intentionally. You work with everyone to figure
it out and I trust in our cities capacity to work together
to figure these things out. It's a new day in the city of
Chicago rather than just saying. No rather than saying, you
know what Advocates, you know what Disability Advocates
even though you really care about this issue, we're going
to shut you out and tell you the wrong know. We're going to
bring you into City Hall. We're going to sit down and we're
going to figure this out together. And so I think that this
is really exemplary of the direction we should be moving
together as a city to figure out the challenges. We Face a
thank you, mr. Mayor, thank you to the chair. Thank you to

Thank you. Thank you, mr. President, I rise today and
support of this ordinance, change is hard to accept and
adopt the unknown sometimes. Get make us nervous or how
does it going to work, but we all have to work together to
make this pilot program successful, to come to the table
come with those concerns you have but also less all work
for Solutions, it's okay to be concerned. It's okay.
I brought a
I brought up some concerns as well but it says about not
only bringing what it's not going to work out. What are
those Solutions? Many of you are. Well, experienced men,
have you brought up those concerns or what could possibly
make this organs fail? But also would like to hear what are
your recommendations? What are the things that we can try
to make this ordinance were we did our residents across the
city, the surf for us to work together because our seniors
needs a because our children when they're going to school,
not every children have snow boots and they're waiting for
the bus. They're walking through the streets again, is just
day the store for all of us to work together again. I'm not
saying no to voice your concerns but also boys, your
Solutions, you, bring the experience that you say you have
into this conversation and meeting with olive oil.

like better Street, for example, and all these
organizations are working for. Just say, for this day for
me, too, I want to say it. And like I always said, I'm not
only about bringing what if could go wrong but let's bring
Solutions.

Thank you.
all the
Alderman Mosley, he's not here to defend his title. So the
best first Speaker today, O'Leary is recognizes.
Albany. Irvin
Well, hey, it's all good. I think all the men of the
Yeagers for being a little collaborative and committee on
this particular item, there were there was a lot of
conversation around this pro and con but I do want to lift
up with all the beers roast as stated in the fact that we
do or to the citizens at least to have a conversation about
this issue. We have individuals of the challenge. We need
to try to help find solutions for some of our individual
that cannot navigate to sidewalks in the manner that you
and I can today. One day, we may be in that specific
predicament where you can't navigate the way you can today
and hopefully we don't the people that are sitting in our
seats in twenty or thirty years. Don't take the same
positions that some of us have taken today. So again, I
think we have to think you dishion, try to find a
reasonable reasonable solution, but I do think that we need
to have the experts at the tail.
What I did?
What I did see before was that we didn't have our experts
at your table in this conversation, listening to them how
this could be implemented, or how this would work and
things of that nature. So, I'm, I'll definitely supportive
of this working group because we do owe it to our citizens,
to have the conversation. Try to find a solution that will
that will impact and be the best to most. You can. Thanks
to what channel. The Spotify app is leadership on the issue
of begin. That's just something. I think we have to as is
automobile a little bit to get has potential costs
associated with it. However, we have not necessarily
identified a revenue source to support it. So again or we
have to be cognizant of everything that we do because there
is a reaction to everything that that occurs that we do,
that's not limit us into at least having a conversation and
trying to find a solution that can work. Thank you, mr.
President. Thank you. Mr. Chairman for your thoughts on
this. Thank you.
Ottoman.
I'm icy know what their hands is there any other members of
this body wish to speak to this item?
if I,
The finally chairman laspada.
Play.
Thank you so much, mr. President, I, I want to appreciate
the dialogue of you should the conversation, I appreciate
the questions. I'm going to speak to a couple of the
questions real quick. So we, we were asked and it's a fair
question. What are we opening ourselves up to, right? We're
opening ourselves up to Greater mobility and accessibility
of the city for all of its residents off. The top of the
bat for folks to folks were sitting in this box to three
hours ago. They are depending on the work that we're doing
right now. I'm glad I'm so glad a lot of her parents
grandparents, who could shovel my mom had osteoarthritis.
My dad had early-onset Parkinson's and my brothers. And I
had to be at school at 7:30 in the morning, so, that was
out the window or family, although my brothers and I were
the ones were out shoveling.
That's not.
That's not a reality for a lot of Chicago. I know a lot of
folks on Campbell Avenue, in my street who rolled their
wheelchairs through the street. When it snows. I know what
things are going to look like from me and my daughter this
winter, while I'm walking her the 20 minutes over to
daycare. I know the necessity of what we're talking about,
we are also talking about a pilot. So what is going to
happen between now and may 2024? And honestly, I'd read the
ordinance if we weren't close
UPS.
2 p.m. is a working group, a working group made up of the
best Minds know how to do this work in the city of Chicago,
including C. Including the department of Streets &
Sanitation. They are going to develop the design of a pilot
that will then be brought back to this body for vote on
whether we proceed or not. That's going to be a decision
that you all get to make next spring. Now, the question was
also asked about inequity and Service delivery into that.
And you should know in the ordinances built-in Equity. We
need to use specific data point in demographics related to
equity in determining whether and we're pilot zones are
going to be for this wasn't, the question was asked, if we
talked to Commissioner salary recently frequently and
consistently in the development of this ordinance and at
the committee meeting last week and I'll just share a
romantic do that he shared with me.
He said.
He said, 20 years ago when we were doing blue bags, full of
cans and cans and bottles, if you had said to him 20 years
ago, someday you're going to have a blue car behind every
residents collecting recycling. He would have said there
was impossible, exactly what he said to me. And now, that
is what we do. And I only share that with you to say that
the people in charge of developing, this pilot have
experience in the impossible. They know how to make the
impossible 1.
All of this.
All of the snow is only to allow us again to have a series
of conversations to develop a pilot that will be then
brought back to you next spring.
so having said all that if there are no objections, I
recommend passage of by the first most favorable roll-call
vote from the committee on finance and subsequent
unsuccessful motion to reconsider

one is a resolution expressing solidarity with the
International Brotherhood of teamsters for fair contract.
Negotiations with the United, Parcel Service, this

I don't.
Item to is a resolution establishing the subcommittee, on
youth, the youth employment. The item received, favorable
consideration in committee, I'm an advisor, both are rules,
and Robert's Rules of orders are ambiguous as to whether
subcommittee could include members for a none of the parent
committing, therefore, out of prudence, I'm seeking suspend
the rules and order that city council can consider this
item approval and eliminate any potential for suggestion.
That the committee was not legitimately created is a motion
on the floor to suspend rules hearing no objections to
order. I'm a passage of this item by the first most
formidable favorable roll call vote of the committee on
Finance in the associated unsuccessful motion to
reconsider.
Hearing no objections.
So ordered.
Miss.
Mr. President Meade, 39th, Ward old woman, newgen the point
of information or clarification. Please clarify what we're
asking for here with respect to committee and the committee
point of information or clarification from the sponsor on
what we're looking to do here with respect to committee
membership on subcommittee, or is it. Regular rules, don't
specify outright the ability for non-parent committee
members of Senate subcommittee. So in order to be able to
do this in a prudent manner, I'm asking for the suspension
rules of the whole city council could vote on the matter.
This is been advisement with with counsel. In other words,
there are individuals who are who are not a part of the
parent committee who wish to serve on this subcommittee.
So,
So there's a motion to suspend so that we can take up this
item. Understanding that our rules are not necessarily
specified.
You.
You are.
You have more points of information. Thank you, mr.
President for clarification would this be making a rule
change to our rules of procedure is Council of my
knowledge. This is for this matter only, but I do think
that in the future, we may want to engage in a dialogue to
clarify. This may be happy to sit down with you to figure
that out.
Thank.
Thank you for the response, thinking the chair recognizes
Alderman Vasquez. Thank you. Thank you, mr. President, I
just want to rise in support of this. I think we have a lot
of committees, and we have members who clearly care about
different subject matter. And so, if the opportunity
presents itself to have a subcommittee under a committee, I
think it would limit other members if they want to be a
part of it, to only have to be part of that committee to do
so. So I do think that considering that it isn't specified.
I'm in support of this occurring and if it needs to be
further conversations about drafting with it, looks like
I'd be in support of that as well. I think more inclusion
by our members and committees that they want to be on some
committees is only right. So I'd be supportive of this and
asked our colleagues to support it as well. Thank you. Are
there any other interviews with your wishes speak to this
substitute or any other item?
it's
Itchy.
The chair recognizes Alderman, Napolitano.
Thank you, mister president. Mine is just on the ignorant
of what's being done here and I apologize does that mean
that were adding a subcommittee to a committee and it would
change the votes done in that committee to like say if you
had 10 bolt in the committee. Now you're adding additional
10 votes and I pologize I just don't know what we're doing
here on a specific area of Houston. Pointment. The fact is
that we do have some precedent on these matters. We have
subcommittee on Harper funds. We've also had a subcommittee
on reparations in the past, the parent committee still has
to take the legislation.
And again just for more clarity or if there are other
points of information, but subcommittees Authority is
simply to provide recommendations as I understand it to the
committee to establish a committee will still have
jurisdiction over matters. That is correct.
Forgive me, mr. It's been a long meeting. I'm not sure if I
already have passed this, if I think we had. I thought we
did. But we did too. But yeah. So in other words, we're
just having a discussion about this like to continue this
discussion in the chair, recognizes Alderman Lopez.
no, thank
Thank you, charm. I thank you, mr. President! I have no
comments, thank you.
I just like to think of the fine gentleman from the 15th
Ward for his confidence in our understanding of this. But I
think this
Alrighty.
Aren't you, Mr? Chair. I think this is, I think at this
point, I just need to suggest that this concludes, my
report does. Thank you so much. I appreciate that the chair
