please unmute yourself.
Good morning. My name is Marty Glizzy. I'm a resident of
the 48th Ward. I'm here this morning as a proud member of
the Jewish Council on Herman, the pairs. And with our
allies who make up the bring Chicago. Home Coalition,
today's meeting marks an important milestone in our
Collective, Grassroots efforts to combat the scourge of
homelessness and it adequate affordable housing and it will
create a funding stream, that will support long needed
investment, in permanent affordable housing in our city.
If you.
This morning will be placed before you the bring Chicago
home resolution, which will make the systemic change that
is needed. And then the cycle of trying to heal major harm
by sticking bandages on.
oh my
Homelessness affects us all. I learned that just a few weeks
ago, when my wife and I took our two grandsons age 13 and
14 to learn about advocacy first, how we travel to
Washington to meet with staff and their Congress people and
Senators offices in preparation when we asked them, what is
shoes were important to them top of their list with
homelessness.
they'll,
They may not know that over 66,000 men, women and children
do not have a place to call home or that twenty thousand of
these are like them children. But they know it is important
because I see the pain and indignity of people being forced
to create homes in the bus, stops around the corner from
their homes or in parks and under under passes that they
walk by going to school. They know that we need bring
Chicago home which will create a dedicated funding stream
for permanent affordable housing, and for the support of
services that are needed to end homelessness in our
communities.
The answer.
The introduction of bring Chicago home with the full
backing of the mayor's office is the result of years of
organizing by Grassroots, leaders directly impacted live
with lived experience, and that has provided the ability to
Spotlight what we need to do.
and I,
And that Spotlight continues to lead the way as we ensure
that the ordinances passed as we worked together to pass
the referendum it enabled and the following an ordinance
that will be needed when trying to details for
implementation. Today is a day to be proud of what we've
done already. And to promise that we and those who have
made up this effort, over those years already to ensure we
complete the work. The real celebration will be then and
what it is possible in new housing units, or occupied and
news services are in place to support those in need.

well-maintained home at price point that don't take up the
sum of their income. Nobody should be paying so much to
South Shore. In surrounding areas of biopark, the black
Chicago in. This ordinance is one that I'm sure is that we
are protected investment in our community. A lot of people
lately have been talking about the new arrivals and have to
use the question of investment in Black communities to

the cutest things that we are dealing with this
displacement and distance.
South Shore.
South Shore, the number one fiction neighborhoods in the
city, the 5th, Ward of the number one, addiction, filing
ward in the city. In addition to the fact that we have the
pending development of the Obama Center, which were
supportive of, but want to make sure that we have
Protections in place. So that everyone can say this can
happen, this is possible. We are always willing to, and we
know that we will work with this every member of city

left and left me for shelter. Right often times. We hear
that there's not enough money does on the funding, but this
Coalition isn't doing work. Three years. I have to organize
to make sure that we can create a funding path so that we
can develop housing in Chicago home, right? And so I want
to I won't take up too much more time, but I want to thank.

I'm
All right, good morning. Matt Johnson morning, this is
Mississippi Mouse, speaking. We spoke before, former South
Shore resident. I used to live in the apartment buildings
on 67th and Paxton own by The Catalyst Realty, until
February of this year, which is, when I got this place, at
the end of December 2022, the heat and hot water went out
and are building for a week. We also had no electricity
Catalyst lied to us about the main is being done in the
building and what was actually going on with the boiler
until we got the city involved. They condemned by buildings
as a livable at the wish we were displays two hotels. Where
me and my family were forced to leave for 2 weeks with no
assistance. No assistance for outside expenses. We have to
finance our own food on Transportation, even though we were
forced to move and read and we receive no compensation for
that the tennis organized and got the hotel stays extended
for a little bit but outside
That.
That there was no retribution for people and their families
for their situation and what they went through. This is not
okay, Catalyst. Realty should never have been able to
employ the illegal and unethical tactics to push people out
of their homes. And second of all this should have been
Texas and place that prevented this from happening and this
is the responsibility of the city as well because when all
of this was happening, the CD and condemn, the buildings
for being out of heat, but after the heat was back on, they
said it wasn't their problem anymore. But in reality we
still needed help. And when, and when we needed it, the
most the city wasn't there when Catalyst Realty employed.
These unfair and illegal tactics to push us out of our
homes such as changing the locks without notice having an
office of tenant Advocate advocacy. In the city hall could
have helped assisted us. They could have also assisted when
we were shown units by Catalyst Realty with mold paint
chips,
Jose.
Holes in.
holes in the walls and other things that were just
unlivable for new residence. When we were forced to move
into new homes, having a right to return that would have
allowed us to move back into our original units. At the
same rent, could have prevented this displacement and in
the new building, that they move me and my family to
before, which is costing us. $300 more in the rain. I just
found out that it just turned into a Section 8 building and
if we all know section, eight buildings can be a very high
random.
Don't have.
Don't have a voucher. I'm recently paying now, $1,100 a
month and they sent me a notice saying they're going to
raise my rent up to $1,200 in November now.
Beauty.
With this.
With this ordinance, it must be comprehensive to fully
cover. The needs of the people at risk, of displacement in
South Shore. This ordinance has been has to be better than
the Woodlawn order this because it's specially money-wise.
The South Shore area is the largest neighborhood but they
hire eviction rate. We've met with the Johnson
Administration before and are willing to call, Mary

and I said we've met with the Johnson Administration before

demanding is a reflection of the referendum that was
conducted in the Fifth Ward, where 90% of people voted in
favor of our policies. Thank you master, thank you very
much. Thank you very much.

DeAndre knuckles.
Good.
Good morning, everyone. I'm DeAndre Nobles and I'm a member
of gkmc.
I'm here, as a young person to speak on on why we need the
Peace book. Ordinance passed, our young people in Chicago
or experienced. You are experiencing crisis and all we can
say is locked them up, but we know the Community Systems
aren't working the Peace. Book is a tool kit and direct and
directory of resources for violence mediators practitioners
and Mental Health Services. If we care about the use, like
we say, we do if we don't, if we don't want upwards of
three hundred teens and children being shot like last year
and then you have to take violence prevention series.
We are asking.
We are asking, we are asked.
We are asking, we are asking you all the people to pass our
peace. But now we can bill you to let peace in our streets
and our schools, things like myself, need access to jobs
and Mental Health Services. The Peace book would allow us
to access these resources we are trying to save lives. How
much is my life worth to you? I'm serious. How much does it
cost? If I get shot in the city ends up spending Millions
through the criminal legal system and health care costs.
But my life is worth more than that. What, what you decide
today will show us? How much you, how much you are value
black and brown brown utilize Pastor, people would pass the
Peace book. Thank you, thank you.
Baby.
Thank you, mr. Noble for your comments. The next speaker is
Miss Tamara Martin miscimarra Martin.
Hello, good morning morning. I'm here to say, pass the
Peace book to tackle, the root causes of inter-communal
violence and retaliatory violence. This means investing in
Mental Health Services, restorative justice, practices,
violence, prevention and transformative Justice. Our young
people have the knowledge and expertise of what's happening
on their blocks, and their schools, and in their Community.
We know who I'm most likely to become victims or
perpetrators of violence. And we must work to prevent these
hard before they can occur. The Peace book is a tool kit.

We?
We've had enough of compromising and talking in circles.
One of our young people who is 16 was shot and since you
can't miss anymore days of school, she couldn't be here
today. If the Peace book, wasn't place, she could ever come
in for a share and more mental health days, even
restorative justice with her shooter, who attends her
school CPT. And lawmakers need to understand that we know
of their scare tactics and we won't give up. Advocating for
black and brown Youth and Young people who are in cages
because of their communities. Haven't shown them love and
do nothing but to react before they take action to advocate
for themselves. We have to do more part young, people who
are at risk, we have to do more for our young people who
are experiencing Mental Health crisis. We have to do more
for our young people who are experiencing homelessness, we
have to do more for our residents. And those who on the
ground doing the work to make this work. Thank you.

The chair recognizes Alderman. Brian Hopkins, thank you. I
miss president. Appreciate this opportunity to acknowledge
an outstanding business. That serves both my ward and
Alderman, knutson's 43rd Ward. It's actually part of the
DePaul Community, which spans both Wards. And and I rise in
support of this business, that is almost 50 years. It's
approaching its 50th anniversary of operating a restaurant
in the city of Chicago, spanning three generations and what
they've accomplished their what they've done, what they
meant to the city of Chicago, and and the DePaul Community
is so significant. It deserves a commemoration here, I
couldn't wait for 50 years. We had to jump out of a little
bit ahead of agenda. We have a special guest here that I
would like to acknowledge when Ronco jordanovski and his
wife, Delica came to America.
Back.
back of
Back before, most of the people in this room were born,
they came as migrants seeking a better life for their
family. They came for the same reason. So many migrants are
coming today, Generations later because America is was and
Remains the land of opportunity for people who are willing
to work and come create a business, and start a family. And
three generations later have this kind of success. When
they came here, they knew that they had great recipes from
their Homeland in Mesa. Donia. They knew that they would
have a successful run.
But they could never have been.
But they could never have imagined that a day like this
would come when their daughter would stand with the mayor
of the city of Chicago and acknowledgement of their
outstanding work, and what they have, Methodist community.
How did they do it? How did they do it? Selling tumble
Chicago, hot dogs. It is so much more than the good food
that they offer. It is so much more than the
entrepreneurial spirit that they than bodied. It is simply
the love that this family has expressed to our city and
generations of DePaul students who have considered it a
second home.
There.
Their daughter, Angela who earned the nickname mama from,
so many DePaul students was quoted in the DePaul student
newspaper. The depaulia, 20 years ago saying to students at
that University if you gets sad because you're away from
home for the first time I want you to know there's always
room in my restaurant but mostly there's always room in my
heart for you and to this day generations of DePaul
graduates come back with their own children and
increasingly their grandchildren, to show them Broncos and
to show them what that restaurant mint and when it close
like so many small businesses during the pandemic is a
local resident myself. I was deeply concerned that they may
not be able to reopen but they did the family rallied. Even
though they've we recently had to say goodbye to both
Bronco. Angelica two children and two grandchildren. And,
and the nephew.
Are running.
We are running that restaurant today. They've reopened and
it is as much a part of the fabric of our neighborhood in
the DePaul Community, as it ever has been, if not more. So,
and we are deeply grateful to have this opportunity to
acknowledge them today. And I stand with my colleague
Alderman, Knutson and honoring them. Thank you mr.

Thank.
Thank you, mr. President, I definitely stand in support of
this resolution. Honestly, have to say Ramen Jackson. You
have meant so much to me from when I was a child. I have
never. Not remember, not knowing you as a member of
Fellowship under the leadership of Reverend dr. Clay Evans
and let me recognize the people here, cuz all of them means
so much to me and attorney. Jeanette Wilson. Reverend
Anderson Reverend Travis, Grant my other Pastor, Reverend
Otis Moss, the third wife actually call om3 and my leader,
my pastor the Rev, dr. Reginald Sharpe, y'all make some
noise. And then this place. And before I get on trapping
Jackson and talk about that. Again, this person may be his
princess but she's my queen since you do. I love you so
much, public Lee and privately I
Tell people that.
Tell people that because it's true. And as growing up as a
child at Fellowship, you didn't have a choice. You had to
go to push and then at push talk, so much and being under
the leadership Jackson action and all of that, but my one
of my greatest memories was being with a little worried, I
will eat apple and pear at The Meat House. The packing
house on Wabash, and they were fighting for the rights of
the Meat. Packers, first Civic engagement first fight for
workers rights and I didn't know what I was doing a little
as a little boy, but then there was a sign saying, keep our
jobs, raise our wages and that you have stood on for many
years and that I appreciate it even more important for me
in a reason why I'm standing here because of the
relationship that you had with my pastor. The late great
rev Dr. Clay Evans, it was you that again
Him involved in the Civil Rights Movement. He was a preacher
and that's all he wanted to do was preached. You can tell
the story as many times I've heard it over and over and I
didn't want to get involved, but you got him involved. And
because of that, he was able to stand up to powers to be
too loud, the great dr. Martin Luther King to come here and
speak. Even at the Peril of the Fellowship Missionary
Baptist Church still standing for 7 years, not being built
standing against the administration here in this Council
back then. So I applaud you all for that. And when I saw
that, I knew then I can overcome anything.

that people have to know that and recognize that. And if
that, that is one of the biggest things that race did
besides open people's eyes about the love that we have for,
not only black America, but coming together,
Our time has come is what I kept hearing. Our time has come
and one of the part of that speech, that rang out to me.
And I go back and read this. It said it's America's not
like a blanket. One piece of unbroken cross, the same
color, the same texture. The same size America is more like
a quilt, many patches, many pieces, many colors mini size
is all woven and held together by a Common Thread, the
white, or Hispanic, the black, the rap, the juju, the
woman, the Native American, the small farmer, the business
person, the environmentalist of Peace activists. The young,
the old, the lesbian, the gay, and the disabled, make up
this American Quilt, even a fractured state.

All of us count and fit somewhere. We have proven that we
can survive without each other. But we have not proven that
we can win and make progress without each other. We must
come together. Time is come I never forget that rhyme with
Jackson and thank you so much for all that you have done.
God bless you.
Thank.
Thank you very much. The chair recognizes Alderman Burnett.
Thank.
Thank you very much, mr. President, I'll Stand in support
of this resolution. I can curve with all of my colleagues,
Reverend Jackson. When I think of you, I think of Truth to
power. I think of King David taking down the Giant
and,
and I think about not only a leader in the city of Chicago,
but you are a leader in this world. A lot of us here in the
city of Chicago, we somewhat limit you but we don't know
all around the world. You have done things to bring Justice
and also to save lives. You have negotiated on many people
of other races, not just black people of other races to get
their freedom. You have helped to negotiate things all
around the world even when even when some of the folks in
our government would not do it and could not do it, Jesse
Jackson was able to get it done. So I just want to say
thank you. Reverend Jackson but not only doing things
around the world, but also all of the things that you have
done for us here in the city of Chicago, all of the
inspiration you have.
Given.
Given not only young African-Americans, but also many
African-American business people. But also a lot of
ministers, throughout the city of Chicago, I recall being
in several meetings with you and Operation, Push with
Alderman. African-American Alderman. African-American
elected officials, but also African American businesses. I
think about now, when whenever we go to an event,
And we kind of losing this, Reverend Jackson.
but,
But whenever we go to big events, big corporate events
every one of those corporations.
What have African American representative from their
corporation?
In.
In the reason why they had African American representative
from their corporations was because of a Jesse Jackson
because of the things you stood for, because you challenge
the corporations in this city and in this country, to open
the door for us. A lot of people don't know that, a lot of
media people, suppose don't remember when it wasn't black
people in the media telephones. Don't remember when we
didn't have a African-American, when we did not have
African-American folks interviewing people.
Now.
Now, we have so many African-American faces on television,
but they don't know that Jesse Jackson fault the media to
get African-Americans on television.
Both don't know that even with some of our Sports athletes
that Jesse Jackson fought for our athletes to get fairness
and they pay to get fairness in their positions in athletic
Rings. A lot of us just look at some of the marches you do
here in Chicago about, you know, keep the peace, Stop the
Violence, you know, alcohol down with some of us are
limited to that thinking but we don't see the bigger
picture. Some of us. See the bigger picture in a picture
that we see is so much bigger than most people could
imagine. So I just want to say thank you Reverend Jackson
but what you've done for us.
Is that?
Exact.
Example.
Is African Americans but also what you have done for the
many many other ethnic groups around this world. God bless
you and we thank God for your service. God bless you.

You were recognized. I mean, you could make it through
without saying hello to everyone. Reverend Jackson is known
throughout United States throughout the world and right
here in Chicago, as my colleagues at mention. I don't think
you get the recognition here. But let me see you today on
behalf of myself, the 37th Ward rather than we truly
appreciate the work that you've done being a,

fight. You always have obstacles that you are trying to
break through barriers that you're trying to get the rope.
And you've done an excellent job man doing. So and thank

Your impact not just on the South and West sides of

have stood for. For so many years as somebody in 2016 who
did not know where to turn to, I turned my anger into
action because of your work because of those that are in
the box. Today with my sister, is there a reference in at
Wilson and Jackie algae and your family? Because I did not
know what to do, but we stood together, not only in
Chicago, but in DC in Springfield Illinois and across the
globe to say that democracy belongs to all of us and is so
much better when we work together and that includes
everyone exactly what we're saying here. So, I want to
thank you, especially for bringing it to Faith leaders

I want to also say that democracy does depend on all of us.
And what you inspired in me is to take at least the first
step to make sure that I'm registered to vote. Make sure
that my friends are registered to vote. Make sure that
every person is registered to vote and not only that to get
out the boat, do we need to do that in every election and
used to do that to us. So, I want to thank you again for
your impact. Not only in Chicago, I'm very proud to be a

Hardest lessons that I learned from you is you can't take
everybody with you.
It's hard to be in leadership and to be able to say
everybody come. That's not what I country is. And right now
we're at a time where it's important they recognize you but
we still need you in the fight. Thank you from the folks on
the southside of Chicago. Thank you, mr. President

Thank.
Thank you, mr. President, I to stand to be associated with
this resolution, and I'll be brief. Reverend Jackson. Thank
you for teaching us how to bring and how to build and how
to lead. So I don't have fantastic stories of growing up as
a Chicago and like many of my colleagues and it's clear the
the mark that you've left here but I do have a father from
Ohio who went to North Carolina A&T and and is only a few
years, your Junior and growing up in Ohio, I remember how
much your run for presidency, your leadership, your
advocacy has meant to my family and hearing all of the
stories and being here in Chicago for about 20 years at
this point
it's a
It's amazing how much your demonstration of leadership
through building Community, right, everybody talks about
the fact that you do bring people with you. Look at
everybody in the box with you, you're never alone. Every
time I've encountered you, you show up in amazing places.
When are the new bunch of us? Progressive caucus Alders
were elected in 2019. Imagine my surprise, when one day you
were just out of cross Randolph Street topping in a picture
with us and showing up to support people. Who many of us,
you didn't know, but you show up and you're always
encouraging young leadership, your Mentor, your leader in
that, that building that you've done your entire life
leaves that Legacy and you're building a platform, you're
constantly Lena pathway and stops for people to follow,
after you, and it's not narrow, right? So, like, like my
colleague, all to him and Taylor said it's not a narrow
path. You're leading a broadcast.
You're a.

You're expanding the opportunities in the ways that we can
show up for each other and for our city. So thank you for
your work, your legacy. And for making Chicago, a city
that, no matter our challenges is still a Beacon of Hope of
light, in a democratic promise, for the entire world. Thank
you.

Thank you.
Thank you so very much, mr. Preston. Very wise to be
honoring this resolution and honoring this man. Reverend, I
I will not claim or attempt to say more of your pathetic
leadership of your pastoral leadership of your personal
leadership. But if there's something I can speak from
experience, it's honoring the courage that it takes to be a
public leader with Parkinson's. If I may say this certain
having having watched my dad struggle and live with
Parkinson's, for the last ten years of his life, when he
was still able to have a conversation with me hearing him,
List.
Reflect on the challenges of not knowing what life had left
to offer him and what he had left to offer life and this
was a profound challenge for him, and it sure is having
watched it for my dad. I know they would be so much easier
for you to live quietly, to live comfortably, but to
recognize the weakness that matches your strength to still
be strong for us to be public with us to recognize the
inspiration that you have yet to offer.
Go to.
that is for,
That is profound cerenia. I think it requires a courage and
commitment that few of us could even understand. And so I'm
so grateful for you, expressing that courage and being
willing to be with us. Still, thank you very much.

Thank you very much. The chair recognizes Alderman Gardner.
They?
Thank.
Thank you, mr. President, I to rise in support of this
resolution and I want to thank you for the sacrifices that
you have made throughout your life for making our city are
state or country Amore Fair place to live, Reverend
Jackson. You obviously made countless contributions black
people to brown people, but also to white people as well
and I'm actually one of them in 1995. I took a test, the
Chicago Fire Department in hopes to One Day become a
Chicago fireman. And I did not score in the percentage that
was high enough that the city plan to hire, they only pay
at the higher people that scored in between 89 and 100.
Are.
and at,
and after,
And after a few years of this hiring practice from this
test, you had brought forth to fight to say, Hey, you know,
there's there's individuals on that test, you score below,
89 like myself, who would be willing and able to do that
job? And for some of us it was a dream come true and I'm
sure you probably could have bought that and just said I
want minorities to be able to be hired who scored
underneath the 80 89%. But it wasn't was black was for
brown and white people and I was one of those individuals
who benefited from that.
And I'm not the only one in this room who benefited
benefited from their heads. Like I'll eat all them into
politano. Was also one of those individuals was able to get
hired years after taking that test. And I want to say to
you is a first-generation American 107 children being able
to get on the Chicago Fire Department still. I look at that
as it's some of the best times in my life. I met some of
the best individuals in my life. Ironically, I was able to
serve mostly black communities in West Garfield Park, 14
years
and,
Play.
Please spend at fire menus. You don't talk about the things
that we have done our job, but I was able to actually stay
our team was able to save Many Lives. Many black lives in
the work that we did. I'm so that would not be possible if
it wasn't for you, and the work that you did. And I feel
obligated to share that with you and individual who
represents the Northwest side of Chicago. You may, or may
not here that often, but I sincerely, thank you for that.
In giving me, allowing me an opportunity to fulfill a dream
to be a Chicago fireman. So thank you for all the work that
you have gone into work that you continue to do and may God
bless you.

Thank you Alderman. The chair recognizes older woman Lee.

resolution. Reverend Jackson so great to have you here with
us today.
I'm
I may not have grown up having the opportunity to interact
with you to attend your services, but growing up in
Chicago, being a CPS kid, we all know who we all knew to
Reverend Jackson and as I was thinking about what I was
going to say when I got up to speak today, I thought of
some words that come to mind to describe you, and I'll just
I'll rattle off a few as you've heard these already here
today, but Trailblazer Legend leader role model.

of all the seeds of inspiration that you've stolen over

this room, you created

A great man once said, never look down on anybody unless
you're helping them up.
In case, you're wondering who said that
And that's what inspires me to service all of those of us
who were called to service the serve the public, you've
been an inspiration.
You.
You've fought for representation challenging, the status
quo, and business demanding equity for all, and your fight
has been our fight and our flight has been yours. Those are
words that you said, as the rise of Asian, hate began to
arise around Ovid 19. And when I was 8 years old, 9 years
old, and Vincent chin was murdered in Detroit.
You.
You Stood Beside his mother in the fight for justice for
Vincent chin. Vincent chin was out for his Bachelor Party
the night before he was getting married and she got into an
argument with him and they beat him to death with a
baseball bat and not one of them served any time for that
murder.
The Reverend.
The Reverend Jackson, you're standing next to Mrs. May Chin
during that time and me as I as a little, little girl
watching as a Chinese mother was warning, her son and
looking for justice. And I was watching this on television,
showed me that we weren't alone, and I promise you that
your support and advocacy and standing beside our
community. They're absolutely like more excuse me, little
more flyers, and our community to fight for civil rights.
So I thank you for all of that and I wish you all the best.
Thank you.

his remarks with a chair would like to recognize. I'm a
former Alderman of the 21st. Ward Alderman. Howard Brook is

The chair recognizes Alderman Vasquez.
Thank.
Thank you, it's president rev. I just, I want to thank you
for everything you've done, not only for the city of
Chicago. I think your influence has helped us become more
of one city. When we know it started out as segregated as
it has been and your influence allows us to be more of a
unified City. But will you done for the country and for the
world? Cannot be overstated. The Rainbow Coalition is
influence and how you see this Council looking as opposed
to what it may have looked like decades ago, speaks to the
power and the strength of your word? I also want to give
credit for your ability and poetry in those words as a
motivation, those of us who
on.
I'm just,
Understanding how a message delivered helps it resonate
even further. I do want to share a quote of yours. I hope I
don't.
I'll be.
I'll ruin it. But I'll try to read it because I think at the
moment that we find ourselves, now it's important, they
were reminded of what this country and Nation means you
spoken with the American dream has already said, what is
the American dream? The American dream is one big tent. One
big tent and on that Big Tent. You have four basic promises
equal protection under the law, equal opportunity, equal
access and fair share. And so, when we think about this
city, the current moment we find ourselves in which is
really a repeat of a lot of the challenges he faces when
people, it is your words and your wisdom, that I hope it is
something that continues on just as your legacy will, the
guide us through some very challenging times and so I
appreciate you. I appreciate your voice and want to thank
you from the bottom of my heart because you

So many words that have been Express on, Reverend, you have
shown us what it means to truly be a unifier, sir. I'm your
ability to mobilize and organize and bring people together
the remarkable Testament to your true self. In fact, the
soul of Chicago, it exists because of your
We?
Willingness to make sure that the best in the core of who we
are exist in a older woman, Taylor reminded me of this
really incredible moment in our most recent history, when
one of our neighborhood schools was being taken away from
us. And during that entire ordeal, when black schools are
being attacked by Taylor and I, we were, we are organizing,
I don't think either one of us. Everybody expected to
become elected officials. And though, alderwoman Taylor was
on that hunger strike longer. Then I was, I was provoked by
your leadership and watching my dear sister suffer for 30
days until I joined that hunger strike.
and,
And when black schools are being attacked all over the
city, they weren't very many people who were standing with
us by frankly, and if I could be so vulnerable. There were
those who actually found rationale to justify the
eradication of black existence. And I'm reminded of the
words of w, b, the boys who said that public education at
the expense of the state after all, there's a negro idea.
And so when Jeanette and I work, I'm sorry. When older
woman and I were organizing, we were organizing with the
same spirit and soul to make sure that black existence
remains a constant present. We were able to do that because
of your example.
In.
in fact, when I think about the very fights that you have
lead
make a
Making sure that people can eat. They have somewhere to lay
their head that they can be treated with dignity that they
can get a ride to and from and that their dignity can be
seen and recognized.
You saw us Reverend and if I could be so vulnerable, it was
actually sometimes this body that ignored us.
Mulch.
Multiple bodies of government ignored.
Black Liberation is alive because of you sir.
and,
and here is,
here's the encouraging thing about that.
That black liberation can exist without excluding anyone
else?
that's,
That's the beauty of the soul of Chicago that we get to
have ours and not leave. Anyone else behind?
And so when we talked about bringing Chicago home, when 53%
of those who are on, how's our black people, it's why we
got to bring Chicago home.
Run.
Reverend, there are individuals. They don't always
understand the history of black existence. So when we
talked about tipped workers particularly in line with the
Pullman Porters is why we have to make sure that there's
one Fair wage for everyone because of your worth.
Especially, because the vast majority of these workers are
black women. So, we talked about bringing Chicago home,
making sure that we are providing dignity in the workplace,
to make sure that we passed treatment, not trauma. That is
the essence of black liberation.
And we can do that as we unite this entire city and guess
what? You have shown us how to unite the world and so today
we recognize our brother, a friend
What is?
What are the most gracious individuals that I've ever met?

And you said I work must continue.

Jesse Jackson.

We do have one more final resolution.

The freedom of El Salvador and Costa Rica, and so many

What else?
But I also want to remind us of the work that we have ahead
the decolonization of Puerto Rico, to ensure that Puerto
Ricans in the diaspora and the island can be
self-determined.
The fight to ensure that migrants who are coming to the
city of Chicago. Have the right to Asylum and are treated
with dignity and respect to understand it in our
communities. We to have to confront anti-blackness and
there's a lot of work that we must do.
And it.
And it's timely that this resolution comes after honoring.

lead with love and care, how to build Coalition, how to use
our celebrations, and our need to fight for more just World

Thank you for the president arrives. In Port of this
resolution, this is deeply personal to me, I come from the
10th Ward, which houses the oldest Mexican American Parish
in the city of Chicago. Our Lady of Guadalupe in a part of
the Legacy, the legacy of my grandfather being the first
Hispanic president that you might steal the South work site
in the 1970s. I know my grandfather's looking down today
and now,
and not never in his wildest dreams. Would he suspect that
his grandson would be the first Hispanic Alderman in the
10th Ward. So

cannot wait to celebrate with my colleagues this weekend.
So thank you. Thank you, thank you, sir.
H e. R r.
The chair recognizes Audra, Rosa.
Tell.
So much Mr. Chair. I to rise to be associated with this
resolution, honoring National Hispanic Heritage Month, or
as many of us call it Latina Latino Heritage Month, Latino
latinx, Heritage Month in recognition of our trans siblings
that make part of the Latino Latino and Latina diaspora. So
I think it's important to remember and should know that
Latino Latina is not a racial category, it's not a racial
category, it is a pan-ethnic Penn national identity. You
can be black and you can be Latino like Mariah Carey's
father or like, cardi B. You can be white and you can be
Latino like my colleague Raymond Lopez.
And you can be mixed indigenous and white or miss Diesel
and also be Latino. And so it is a pan ethnic identity that
links the people across the globe. Bringing us together to
say We Are One people and in Latin America there are six
hundred and fifty-six million. Latinos, there are over 40
million Latinos here in the United States. And one in every
three Chicago wins is of Latina Latino descent. So, we are
a very diverse group. We're very beautiful group, and we
would not be what we are today without that diversity,
without that mixture, because when you hear,
From.
From Puerto Rico. When you hear Cumbia music from
throughout Latin America. When you hear salsa, you are
hearing beats. You are hearing single patient that was
brought across the ocean from Africa. When you hear the
words that are spoken in Spanish like avocado, I walk out
there. You are speaking to ask the condition is too, so the
Latino identity would not exist. Arcuisine without access
our culture. Our music, our dance are very Soul, would not
exist without the mixture of black and digenous and white.
And so it should not be lost on anyone that it was here in
this hemisphere here, in this new world, that this new
identity that this new people were born. When we said we
would see past our differences and we would become one that
we would see past our differences and we would understand
the necessity and the importance
Abby.
A build.
A building a new people so that we could get more done
because at the end of the day, if you look at that Latino
identity, if you look at its history and its construction,
as a new people, it was rooted in the ability and in the
belief that we are stronger together and then if we can
overcome our differences, if we can see our shared
Humanity, if we can give birth to a new man, we can
accomplish so much more so I'm proud to be Latino. I'm
proud of all of the countries throughout Latin America that
sell
in the
Independence from imperialism over the next 30 days. Let's
keep coming together. Let's keep building together. Let's
keep creating a new world and a new people for a new age.
Thank you. Thank you.
Thank.
Thank you.
The chair recognizes all their baskets.
Which president, I appreciate our colleague Alderman.
Russell stealing a whole bunch of thunder without one in
support of this resolution. I'm in full agreement, I think
sometimes race and ethnicity, get confused. Anyway, when we
think about what our experiences are all like, when you
think about the Latino experience in the US, we should
think about what it actually means and where it comes from.
We were indigenous people who because of imperialist
changed a little bit of our huge, and it wasn't by choice.
When we?
when we see,
When we think about the migrants to have Natalie, come here
now, but for decades a Time group, an immigrant family from
Guatemala, it is because of us intervention in these other
South and Central American countries. The stabilization of
governments looking to take over. That has led to people
moving all over the world in order to find any level of
support. We also know that those same forces are the same
ones that took the people from their own country forcefully
and brought them here to be slaves. So I think when we
think about what we all,
Going together. It's an opposition to the oppression, we
all face and it looks different to all of us. It's the same
oppression that creates a patriarchy. It's the same
impression that separates all of us, and as misogyny and
homophobia and it's easy to fall into those traps are those
systems cuz we've been enduring it for so long. So we will
find ourselves in situations where it feels like resources
are limited. We fight for every little bit that we can,
regardless of identity. Cuz that's how we have all been
oppressed, and tortured and beaten, and broken for so
often. So I want us to always think about that. When we
have our own fights has family in the current moment, what
we know is that whenever there are people suffering and
divided somebody's there to make some money off of it.
Stop.
Somebody.
Somebody is at a profit off of it, and increase their
power, and talk to people in a way that causes them to
fight amongst themselves. And so, I'll do this is Hispanic
Heritage Month and some of us has issues with the term is
Manny. But this is how we all grow and evolve is family.
I'm proud. They were able to say, yes, we have a distinct
experience, but we have a shared struggle and a shared
oppression that we are all a part of. And so, I hope that,
if you think about this being the month that we celebrate
our own distinct struggles, we take into account the
struggles of our people. We taken account of me being
Guatemalan. Understand that, but least looks a little bit
different to Guatemala because its own European depression
and what is
and if you don't think about our history,
And if you don't think about our history and we don't think
about why we are who we are and where we are in this
moment, it'll be that much harder to come together for a
little bit of levity cuz I know it's pretty serious. I will
say I also would love to edit and change it so it's not
from the 15th of one month. The 15th of another cuz that is
confusing. Is that for most of our colleagues out here,
it'd be cool to have a month that was within one month to
recognize our folks will try to work on that in this term.

Thank you, mr. President, I to rise to be associated with
this resolution. I am not going to take a lot of time, I've
really appreciate it. So many of the comments from my
colleagues the celebrations. It's one of the things I love
about our city that we have so much to offer one another,
and so much of that unites us as a representative of the
49th ward has largely Rogers Park. We have us so many
proud, Hispanic Latino communities represented. Their, it's
one of the things I love about our neighborhood from, from
Belize to, to Mexico, to Venezuela, to Peru. I'm, you can
find all that all the Heritage smashed into our tiny little
ward in the 49th towards, but I love it. So happy
Independence Day to so many who are celebrating over the

Thank.
Thank you very much. Jerry recognizes alderwoman Ramirez.
Thank.
Thank you, mr. President, I do want to say, it's always an
honor to speak after Alderman. Meet us, another run, meet
us in the room. Thank you for talking about. You know what
it means to be Latino because it's completely complex, you
know, growing up on the southwest side of Chicago. People
are always question me that I wouldn't, I wasn't dark
enough that I know my numbers in Spanish that I know my
alphabet in Spanish and actually, I have my grandmother
here today in the back of the room. So, Grandma, if you can
stand up,
And the my grandmother helped raise me. My mother was a
young mother, she was seventeen when she had me. And so,
every day after school, my grandmother would would teach me
Spanish. And then the reason why she would teach me,
Spanish is because my father who is Damita is his, his
parents. My grandparents are native to this land. They grew
up in Bridgeport. They didn't, they never spoke Spanish.
They were here for generations and so I spoke I spoke
English growing up and
I always kind of struggled about what, what what my place
was right? And so a lot of us Latinos we say it. Maybe I
can do that. Yeah, right. We're not really from there.
We're not really from here, but what I say is real little
bit of everything, I really do believe that we're best was
at the present, the past and the future. And what we spoke
about that with the Reverend Jesse Jackson being here
tonight and I'm being here today, rather. And so I just
want to say, I am so proud to be Latina and all of its
complexities to be here in a room with a majority Latina
member a membership of city council and its history and not
just letting their members. But women representing this
Council were laughing at and I want to give a shout out to
the tenth Ward because growing up my grandparents, they
were part of The Bracero program. So they ended up coming
here to Chicago, to work and they lived in the 10th Ward.
And the sun's what has the best food. So, shout out to the
tenth Ward. The best Mexican food in the city.
and,
And I got kind of going back till, you know, it being
September 15th will tomorrow's Mexican Independence Day.
So, I'm ready to celebrate, and I think pushed back a
little bit on Alderman Vasquez about why we celebrate, you
know, September 15th. So, God bless you all. And thank you
so much gracias.
Thank.
Thank you very much. The chair recognizes Alderman
Rodriguez.
Thank.
Thank you, I'll color.
I just wanted to my colleagues are amazing and I appreciate
what what they said. So I'm not going to reiterate some of
the themes that they presented, but I did want to recognize
the Servants of our community. I really wanted a dig deep
in a couple of populations of servants that have really
been those who have paved the way. First and foremost, I
want to recognize that. I think that served in the
military. The fact is, is that in my community, we happen
to have a plaza menu, press Plaza. Decatur to a former
Marine who died in service and that Plaza is a community
center or neighborhood. We now have
and,
on the Wii.
On the weekends we have we sell fruits and vegetables and
we have an amazing space for mariachi and youth
performances, and it's on this space. We recognized Mannie.
Fresh Junior. A follower of Fallen World War, 2 soldier in
our community are real Community, happens in the
neighborhood and I think that speaks to our community. You
know the fact is that we've had
Proto.
Protests.
Protests that have been very important at that Plaza. That's
a place where we celebrate the Mexican Independence Day
Parade in the plaza at this place we come together, but
it's really a space. We recognize servants would in our
community store in Hispanic Heritage Month. But I call
Latino heritage month, I definitely want to recognize those
servants and also want to recognize the organizers in our
community. The folks School fight the good fight. They
bring up the most important issues of our day and they
challenge the status quo. And I want to recognize them as
well as community members to sectors of our community. That
don't get enough as far as attention as far as recognition.
So whether you're a teacher or you're someone like my
mother who served in the Catholic church for years.
Or what?
Or whether you're someone who's the political organizer, I
want to recognize those who don't necessarily get
recognized. And that's really what's represented. And the
diet starts today, people who need to be recognized for
their service to our community and they're organizing. So
thank you very much for being you. We commemorate you here
today and every one that's like you in our community. So
thank you for your service and thank you. I've got it.
Thank you. All.

Hearing to discuss the resolution introduced by Alderman
Villegas calling on hearings. With the Department of water
in the Department of Finance to discuss, efforts in
addressing water. Bill outline plans to lessen, the burden
on Chicago, in an issue and ensure that water bill
statements are reflective of actual water usage. There were
no boats taking this to present but all the men Villegas
has asked to speak to this matter. Thank you. Madam chair.
The chair recognizes Alderman Villegas. Thank you, mr.
President. And I want to thank chairman doll for hosting
that hearing.
Please.
Please and tell me what, we, what we heard from residents of
the city of Chicago is that residents are getting hosed.
Are.
Add a yearly basis to the tune of tens of thousands of
dollars and it's our job as elected representatives to make
sure that we're putting forward solutions to address this
issue. Back in 2019, this body took took efforts to deal
with the fines and fees at that time. Fines and fees were
the number one issue that was creating bankruptcy for
Chicagoland's.
the number one issue for bankruptcy from Chicago's was the
fines and fees at the city of Chicago was administering
Why?
What?
water billing has that same opportunity to do that and I
can come it upon us and the administration to work together
to get this issue resolved.
Chippendales asked me to take you to leave from the for the
legislative side to deal with this issue. And in working
with the newly-appointed Comptroller, we have identified
three immediate steps that we can take to address this
issue so that way we can make sure that every day Chicago's
are not being hosed. Number one would be the established an
appeal process,
just,
Stabbed.
Establishing a price.
Establish an appeal process of a resident of Chicago feels
that they got a wrong water bill today they have no
opportunity to speak to the city to say, hey wait a minute.
There's an error here. So we want to do that will do that
through legislation
We?
We want to work with the CFO and buying console, to figure
out how we can take a look at language that allows for the
concert would have some flexibility around debt. That's
being incurred, wrongly. Right now, today there's no
flexibility for the Comptroller. So he has to collect 100%
of the water bill, 100%, we did an analysis. In the city of
Chicago collects 1.4 billion dollars in water bill about
eight million dollars of that is in this falls into the
category where this overbilling, which equates 20, I'm
sorry .005 7% of the total funds that we collect.
We talked about 100% death taxes. We might as well add
water bills to it as well, so we have to make sure that
through the barn, so we allowed that flexibility to, at
least I have 1%. So that way, the Comptroller can help
Chicagoans that we're representing,
All.
Also out of those hearings. We heard that there's a vendor
that currently on contract with the city that has been
waiting months months, to offer a solution with the
Antiquated. It infrastructure that we have.
If it ministration.
Can can can go ahead and approve this vendor, we can begin
to have this this this it infrastructure quickly. Repaired.
but I think,
But I think we need to make sure as a body of the
legislative side. We're putting for policies that will help
everyday Chicago. And we went to work closely with the
administration to deal with this issue cuz this is a huge
issue. When you hurt people testify you had a lady that was
80 years old old almost $100,000.
Her. She could even testify because she had a stroke or a
son had to testify on her behalf.
We got to do something about this and so will be
introducing legislation next month. Miss this, President
will look forward to working with you and your controller
to address this issue. Thank you. Thank you, better share.
Thank you all and miss you all, mr. President, that
concludes my report for the comedian Finance. Thank you.
Thank you. Dear woman, the chair recognizes no committee on

Thank.
Thank you again, mr. President members of the city council.
Good afternoon.
Eve.
Eva.
even though that motion failed,
Play.
The point of this.
Is.
It's to give us time and to discuss more thoroughly and
more correctly. What exactly we are doing.
2 +
To address the humanitarian crisis. That is here before us.
We?
We've already committed 51 million dollars, meant to
address opioid use to this endeavor.
and,
And we are accepting money from FEMA. To backfill all the
money. We've already spent all the money, you never
appropriated to address.
The feeding and housing of the Asylum seekers in our city.
I can.
I take issue with that, all of you should take issue with
that.
because what we are seeing,
Is money. That was appropriated for one use in particular
in the 2023 budget.
Shut.
Shuffle rerouted. Redirected re-spent.
We?
Without public conversation, without a vote by a single one
of you here.
And when
And without a plan that has been made public.
and I,
And that we can all look and say these are the point. These
are the metrics. This is the route for the path that we are
going. I mr. President, I understand. And I said numerous
times in this room and out that you inherited a mess.
You inherited a humanitarian crisis by the previous
administration whose sole thought was just to throw more
money at it. Just keep shoveling it out like we were she
was shoveling coal Coal.
and,
And we learned now that were seeking to get help and more
money from the Federal Government, after learning that
federal government money is being used to ship them here in
the first place.
We know the welcoming people.
Is what we say, we care about.
We also know that we talked a great deal about charity
starts at home.
and,
And mr. President, I take issue.
When?
When I see situations like what happened on the west side
and some of the North and South West sides in early July,
when floodwaters ravaged communities, or homeowners are
literally in mold filled houses with furnaces, that don't
work water tanks that are no longer usable.
and a
and if
And it's hard to look those folks in the eye and say we're
concerned about you too.
When we are not proactively spending and rearranging the
cosmos to help them in the hopes of later FEMA dollars, but
we're willing to do that.
The end of it.
Three individuals who have been shipped here by the
truckload every week.
We have a chance.
just,
To show that we can do both. We have a chance to take care
of our own, and take care of the individuals were being
manipulated without re manipulating them at every turn. Mr.
President
What?
What concerns me and we should concern everybody in this
room.
Is that even this money is going backwards, it's back
filling the hole that's already been done because we heard
during budget that most of this money is going to pay for
June August and September.
A June, July, and July, in August into September. We have
no idea, no oversight over where that money went did it
serve its purpose. And when you say that you have 19.8
million dollars allocated just for food during those three
months and yet I keep hearing that the people at the police
station and only eat once a day.
Who.
Who failed Houma?
Who failed to mr. President.
Because those are the people that were hiring that are
taking this money handed fist shoving, it in their pockets
and telling us that they are doing a great job.
I will.
I wish I could tell you because I know my colleagues on the
committee said tell us who are vendors are from not only
June July August but from last year tell us who's been paid
for the shelter's. Not just from June July, August book
from last year. And last time I checked, even though those
were sent through the chair as request yesterday, there's
not a single answer to be had
babe.
baby.
famously. One of the other chairman had to go to the news
to get an answer.
That.
Daddy.
That is outrageous.
This body has the fiduciary responsibility to safeguard the
taxpayer dollar and use it accordingly and none of us can
explain where it's going.
No.
None.
None of us know where it will go.
We?
We should be able to answer those questions in no uncertain
terms.
We have to account for every dollar.
Are.
and,
And when we look at a, an ordinance like this. Mr.
President.
One of my colleagues gleefully joked. When I voted against
us in budget. What we finally got you to vote against the
police because I had to say no to a 5 million dollar grant
for training in order to say no to 33 million dollars. I
can explain
you could wrap it in bacon, but if it's a turd it's still
going to taste like
We need to do better. We need to be able to say where this
is going cuz it every description here. I know exactly how
it's being spent in the future. I know exactly what it's
going to be the outcome. I know exactly where it's going,
regardless. What item it is in this in this ordinance
except for one
Do.
Turn.
Call mr. President
Iowa.
I will vote no on this item.
and,
And I'm going to encourage my colleagues to vote. No this
even though all our communities want answers and all our
communities know we need to have the money to cover the
cost.
I can.
I can't keep spending backwards without being told where
we're going forward.
I wasn't.
I wasn't a lie.
I wasn't elected for that. None of us were elected for that
and all of you have to go back to your cop to your
constituents when they say, where did the money go? Not a
single. One of you here is going to have an answer.
Thank.
Thank you, mr. President, thank you old man. The chair
recognizes Ramirez.
I would like to be recorded as a yes. On the first most
favorable roll call vote for the committee on finance.
Thank you. The record will reflect the chair recognizes
Oldman laspada.
Thank.
Thank you so much, mr. President, the it in all that, the
point that I really agreed with a ottoman Lopez on is a
charity starts at home, because every time I go to the 14th
District police station, I see the residence of my ward who
are providing food and Comfort Inn, hospitality and support
to those residents. And every time they asked us, what are
we doing? On the government side? To provide those
Services, net funding as well. And that's that's what this
conversation is about, right? And it's not even about
taxpayer dollars to dollars that we received from the
federal government and those dollars to support our
neighbors in need. That's the real conversation. And the
only thing that frustrates, me is pretending like we didn't
have this conversation for 2 hours a couple days ago.
Big.
because I
Because these questions were asked in the war answered, we
talked about the percent, this going to house and we talked
about how much is going towards shelter in food. People are
really good questions, about really good data, and
information even going back a year on how we've been
budgeting and supporting the shelters.
That's great information but I feel like 22 believe that we
would have the fullness of that information in 48 hours. I
don't think is fair to those who are tasked with providing
that information.
Can we?
I'm really glad for the work that we're doing cuz it lets
his charity starts at home. Justice is more than charity.
Justice is fully funding. The needs of our neighbors,
Justice is doing what you and Governor pritzker Dawn, which
is demanding full Expedition work, permits for Neighbors so
that they can get on that path to self-sufficiency. So I'm
I'm glad for this ordinance. I'm getting ready to vote.
Yes. On its to make sure that we're providing those full
support and trusting your team to make sure that the
account is going forward is full and transparent. Thank
you, sir. Thank you. All them in the chair. Recognizes
ottoman. 60 Lopez. Thank you, mr. President, I just want to
be recognized as a yes, vote on the first item on the
finance committee. I think ultimately Sparta already, but
if I do come to a point of information but it almost
already covered that. Thank you.

Iraq.
I rise in support of the resolution for the ordinance but I
want to say something. I haven't had a chance to tell this
Council Alderman Lopez bought brought it up about the flood
that happened on the west side and it's kind of hard for me
to try to help to bring families back together again and
try to get them some sense of relief and they're constantly
reminding me of all the dollars being spent out for the
migrants.
Now.
and,
If we can walk and chew gum at the same time. Going to this
right now is the time. That's all I can tell you now is the
time that I've never been such a Devastation as what we
have spent and still experiencing in my community. In fact,
not only just my commute to me said the westside of Chicago
because everyone my pastor just called this morning. We're
dealing with FEMA, we're dealing with SBA, but our
community, a lot of money, not as technology as one would
like, for him to be to navigate this system and yet
Predators out here taking it.
Energy.
Energy of them with just getting this little money, they
get. So my whole focus is not the migrant but let me just
make that clear because I believe in truth and Justice and
Lord knows. If you break the law, then I'll ask me to help
you fix that off.
and,
If you broke it, you broke it right now. All I want to do
is to try and make my community somewhere back whole again.
And to look forward to fixing the problem in the future.
Not on that, we have this problem. Now, what happens in
this time, it rang, we've been going through this before
and I'm just city council. Want my support on anything. Let
me just make it clear. You got going to try to come over
there and help 30-7 water out. I got seniors. Still in the
house right now.
where,
Remote in your house.
and,
And we need help. And we need help from the city of
Chicago, the greatest City.
That.
That I work for and I want to know where everybody's at.
I, I
I I do believe in human and Mankind and I'm not getting any
race, not by no means, but my people suffering, white
black, blue brown, whatever color they are, they stopped
and they are here right now, and then here, and we need to
try to help them stay here. So I want to thank you Miss
brother for life.
I mean.
I mean opportunity to just vent for a minute on this
Council or what we want to do out here on the West Side of
Chicago. And if you think it ain't no joke, you just come
over that going. Some of these houses. Are you asleep?
Thank.
Thank you, just please. We need unions. We need everybody
to step up, come over and give us a hand. I'm calling them
out. I want everybody up. I'm not, I'm not minded to any of
our organization all-hands-on-deck. Put them on Deck right
now and give us to help that we need. Thank you, thank you.
And share, recognizes ultimate David Moore.
Thank.
Thank you, mister president, lot of things, I said, but I
enter in the audience because this is important that we
continue to communicate to call constituencies, and we know
that this is a national problem. And so, on one hand, when
I agree with my colleague Alderman, Lopez, and we have to
talk about where the money comes from, where we where that
money is going, that becomes important. And so definitely
provide that but was critical to me is for you all to
understand what we are. Pushing that ministration and I
know, I have to get more money from the federal government
from the state. And so may I appreciate your team for going
out there and get him more money. So I cannot turn
Away.
Play a way that I went and I told you to go get and so that
helps us here in the city. So, when I fighting against
spending $50, I cannot fight against federal dollars
especially federal emergency dollars. And I only fight
against City dollars, when it's not Equitable across, for
people who needed our residents, who need it, whether it's
a old lady, who needs her porch fixed or her roof fixed.
So, she won't go home and 45 homeless people, but why we
are getting this Federal money, you cannot turn Federal
money away, and send it back, just like we did with the, I
think was 21 million dollars from the emergency from the
state government. You can't turn money back, otherwise we
will not get it. So we have to accept this money. So that
the Chicago tax payers Chicago specific City taxpayers for
the steel Stacks money, where there's Federal
Or.
Or stay.
Or state. But this is federal money that we would not
otherwise get. And so we have to make sure we get this
money so we can lessen the burden on the city of Chicago
tax. Thank you so much, mr. Prank, you all women, thank
you, I apologize. A chair, recognizes ottoman, sposato,
thank you, mr. President, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention
the Portage Park area is not just the west side that got
hammered Portage Park has represented by five different
ollerman portions of it. So we also got hammered
like my
Like my colleague, David.
Like my colleague, David Morissette is like, well, we don't
want to not accept the money. I wish this Administration,
this are our federal Senators, our Congress people are
whoever put some pressure on the federal government because
they're the ones that created this mess and they're not
giving us much help in that communication with us that much
else. But I just want to mention also the Portage Park
Community which is represented by 5 bus also got hammered
so let's not forget about the northwest side in Portage
Park. Thank you, mr. President thinks you are there any
other orders that wish to speak to this dynamic?
If?
before I
yeah.
Yes, chair, recognizes Alderman waguespack. Thank you. Miss
president. I made a procedural are voting on that last
item. I need I would like to be recorded as voting. Yes, on
the first item on the finance committee agenda.
and I,
And unless there's an objection, I don't I don't hear
seeing the objections. Thank you, Miss, we would have you
Well, there are some objections now.
What the ottoman waguespack is asking for is to be recorded
as a yes on the first item that is an order and so because
my is that a hand, okay? So see you in the other hand,
before I pass it back to Chairman Irvin it's a star-studded
day because we are also joined by the state treasurer of
the great state of Illinois. Michael Fredericks, just
walked in. Can we give him a nice city? Warm. Welcome.
but I'm
But I'm not mistaken. He is now a resident of the greatest
city in the world, the city of Chicago, don't know what war
he lives in, not trying to start anything.
The.
The chair recognizes chairman Irvin
take me to spread.
famous person.
famous president.
Is.
It's a rarity that pretty much agree with every statement
has been made here today on this item, what they got will
want to say though, is that why we're entitled to our own
opinion is not entitled to your own set of facts on the
fact of the matter here is that these are federal dollars
that have been sent to the city of Chicago. And we have
Choice. You'd accept them or reject them. Yes. Some of the
money has previously been spent on items as was pointed out
earlier but also some of this money is going towards a
future uses. Well, 1.2 do want to correct though is that
the money that we have spent didn't come from opioid
settlement or other items? They came from other sources. So
again, these are dollars that we have a spore from the
federal government to deal with the situation that we have
in hand. And I think it would be wrong of us, not to accept
that money because again
Okay.
Oaks of here or we got to figure out how we're going to
manage this particular situation. But I do want to act all
the concerns of all the way on the mission of the 37th
Ward. She talks about the challenges that we continue to
face on the west side of Chicago is, what is Altima,
sposato of the areas in Portage Park, as well as all of us
who have various challenges around the city. The key Point
here, that think that we have to remember is that we have
to be able to figure out a way to solve all of these
challenges. And I believe that by turning this money down,
that doesn't help us down that path of solving challenges.
Because again, these situations are changing. Or I can go
on the way we need additional funding. We need additional
Revenue to solve these particular challenges and so that's
why I would encourage all of us to support taking and
receiving these dollars, all of the dollars because we have
money, not only for the the 33 million dollars. For the
migrants are is from DHS but also other funding from the
state.
The funding.
The funding from the federal government as a ton of finding
here regarding a public-health HIV AIDS. And other end is
issues that we are faced with across the city began. These
are Grant funds that I believe that we should accept that
when we still have all the challenges to work out but not
accepting the money that we've asked for the deal with the
situation that we all see does not make a lot of sense to
me and I hope that you always supported vote. Yes, on this
item we're about to go into the budget conversation. Again,
we continue to ask a question about priorities. We must
make sure that the parties are we talked about, even on the
west side with the Westside elected officials, I met in the
same budget. Are we talkin about four of these? For the
North and the South side of the city. So again, this is the
time and we're going to the season to have these
conversations about the priorities of the city. But turn it
down, 33 million 5 million in 8 million or any other amount
that's coming to us as a grant. Does not make sense
physically or financially for us and I encourage you just
go and ask for roll, call vote on Madden.

means we need to have great leaders in these positions.
People ready to take the Baton and move the ball forward,

planet. I think after looking at the air quality days, we
have to look out for the heat, the different, whether the
reality is a plan is going to be here. We may not unless we
take the right action. So when we think about Chicago being
that only a world-class City, where a global City, and we
have the opportunity to set an example, whether it's
decarbonization efforts to meet of impact study, making
sure that things moving forward or when our demolitions
that we're actually moving in a way that takes into
account. The communities that live by a lot of these
properties that when we think about what it means to have
an energy grid and what that could look like in the future
for our city that we have the opportunity to make the right
choices. Now as difficult

Mr. President I to rise to support the appointment of Angela
Tovar, as our chief sustainability officer, you know, it's
a new day in Chicago. And I know we say that with the
election of our new mayor of the new members of the city
council, but people as well. And which way is it you? And
which way has there been changed? And I think one of the
biggest clearest ways is in this administration's
commitment to collaborative cover, what we sometimes
called, cold govern, its governance means that the people
that are most directly impacted by an issue, have to not
just be in the room, not just have to get the tables. They
have to be at the center of the conversations on the
policies that are going to impact their box. And I think
that in this Administration on her leftover, exemplifies
that commitment to collaborative, Governor because she is
not Justin City Hall in a lot of important stuff happens
and City Hall, but she is in our communities. She's meeting
with the people that have been directly impacted by
environmental racism. She's meeting with them and talk.
I'm about.
Some about what are the solution that they would like to
dream up? And what would they like to see? City Hall?
Accomplish with them. Hand-in-hand, working with the
Grassroots, working with movement, for social, economic and
environmental justice. So Mayor Johnson, you made a hell of
an appointment. I really want to commend you for making
sure that I had leftover continues to work in this role
because she's the right woman for the job. And for those
that are City Hall in and have questions about what is
collaborative governance. What does
Means I'm sure the mayor says he's very accessible to
answer those questions for you but if for whatever reason
you don't want to call him you can call Angela Tobar and
ask her. What is collaborative governance? What does it
mean to work hand-in-hand with directly impacted
communities to push for Progressive policies that are in
the best interest of everyone? So Kudos and I'm happy to
support this vote today. Thank you. Thank you. Alter the

Three agencies recently, work to remove the encampment on
the mwrd parcel, while offering resources and Housing

our community in the short-term. The building on the
property, can help address the humanitarian crisis. The
city is facing and get migrant families out of police
station lobbies and into a more appropriate in the
long-term potential uses for this property. Include
potential use for Park District or an early childhood

different situation and what I asked for two things. One is
important to me that we have those conversations and all
About Tiffany things that we want in that people know how
important organ Park Fieldhouse is to me in a new field

strategy or a strategy for how they're going to handle the
migrant crisis dpd has reached out to me and we started
having those conversations about the Ogden Park field,
house and took dollars that's associated with that. So
that's check box. Number one or number two, you please send
out a strategy whether I like it or not, without agree with
it or not. That's not what I asked you for. What I asked
you for was a strategy and you presented one. And so with
that, I have to support this item because you gave me to at
least have attempted to get at me to things that I've asked
for and it's not even attempt you did and so will continue

for doing the work of identifying a location to take on

looking at and that we all should look too kind of sharing
that responsibility I along with members of the public and
had been to most of the community meetings, since things
have been moving in this term completely, understand the
challenges that we face and I understand that the problems,
it it inflicts in some regard and our city that has been
segregated. That when we think about where space is being
looked at it ends up being where we see, there's a lot of
vacant land on Southwest side, and communities have been
historically marginalized and have been asking for support
investment over time and not received it. So I do
understand how challenging it is so I'd like to come in or
Kylie autoimmune Nugent, as being someone not insulting
Westside. He's actually working to find more space along
with our colleagues on the North side as well.
And I were
