Barry
Very important issue that the people of Chicago I look at
your options are to either make a motion to recess or to
adjourn well-known president knowing that you are giving me
a couple of options in the sergeant-at-arms is gathering
the people in the back that are playing hide and go seek
when it comes to the people's business. I make a motion
that we recess until 9:45 Tuesday morning.
Alderman be
Automobile might I suggest perhaps we motion to recess for
a time. We're not in town. So we are canceled at 10 Tuesday
morning. So I think 9:45 is sufficient time to pass one
particular coordinates out of this body as a whole in order
to get to the 10 meeting.

Caterpillar. Can you please take a role on the matter to
recess till Tuesday morning at 9:45?

Thank you very much. My next speaker is our next speaker is
Jacqueline Zuniga?
How do
How disrespectful to be pulling hairs to reconvene what can
be more pressing than the current matters at hand. There
was a third unconsidered party that did not stand on this
side consisting of more than concerned citizens
representing various neighborhoods within the city of
Chicago who also have my full support.
I could discuss the prestigious nest of my family or the
amazing neighborhood where I grew up. I am not here to earn
your respect. I'm here to describe the imagery of a Chicago
and life when I was 11. I was exposed to Children using
drugs and alcohol at 13. I had a gun to my head on the
night of my 18th birthday. I was jumped by three women and
one man. I had 30 something hits to my head and I was
unrecognizable later that year. I was chased out of Oz Park
and after an excessive car chase it was approximately 18
city blocks and Linkin Park. The other driver was
responsible for reimbursing me for breaking my windshield
and had gotten a slap on the wrist with court supervision
for a year later years of my life can be condensed into
school and putting work into the home I have now.
Not expect for my name.
Not expect for my neighborhood to be the main discussion for
developing at 10 facility for 3500 migrants from another
country seeking Asylum countries away from our own.
we
We are already spread thin and have enough on our plates as
you can tell from the brief that has been my life. It has
not been easy. I am grateful and blessed to still be alive
to talk to you here today. I personally haven't had gas
since July 10th. My gas meters were relocated from the
inside of my house to the outside of my house as where the
rest of the house is on my street and they didn't test for
leaks before turning them back on. So who's to say there
are various leaks and other houses on my street that had
the same work done. I have personally take it upon taking
it upon myself to help those with in my community speaking
on behalf of a friend. She was let down by the judicial
system when it fell in that committed another felony with a
firearm was re-released on a low Bond and murdered her 16
year old son.
when I see
When I think about immigration, I think about all the ones
in the past that have come here with the same sort of work.
Ethic have come here with the same sort of Pride. They have
gotten just as much education as they could extinguish from
their home countries and hope to continue to better
themselves here for their well-being for the life of their
families and future generations to come we have not only
invested financially into our communities. We have invested
Our Lives when people look at me they say derogatory things
in
to me being Brown living in this city and
To me being Brown living in this city. Anyway, I've heard
just about everything. I do not let that affect me or
hinder me in any sort of way and I think in regard to that
we need to put at Nick backgrounds of side. We are here as
Americans citizens are not we need to help the people that
are already here the undocumented 4 years already implanted
into our society. We do not want a sanctuary city. Thank
you very much for your comments.
aren't
Our next speaker today is Zoe Lee.
How much?
I'm going to try not to curse a man. Like I've been
researching bodiac 29 and this is exactly what's going on.
Only time only thing this time is the Hispanics first two
blacks and we don't have that strong black leadership that
we had with Hera Washington back then so y'all are letting
the Hispanics do whatever they want to do keep saying we
got to have dignity but the blacks aren't doing enough in
this in your leadership skills. So what's the point of
being an older person if y'all aren't going to be for the
community that makes no sense. That's it started to become.
Facebook
Race war but at the end of the day, I know who's going to
win because we built this.
Okay, this is unconstitutional this is inhumane and to come
here and to continue to see more Hispanics and Latinos get
jobs than than blacks here is a disrespect is a punch in
the face. You want us to continue to understand and see the
problem, but y'all don't see the problem in the Black
Culture.
black people of influence
we wouldn't be gone. Nobody would be here if it wasn't for
us. Okay, this is a whole and it's a whole new generation
this social media this now like you're not going to allow
this to happen and we're not going to allow this to happen
to be going to force you to do the right thing. And if not
y'all getting out of here.
I was in Georgia when they put that steak blue for the
first time. I will knock on every seniors door and make
them hold their boat. This place was slippery a historical
moment because you're not paying attention to them anyway.
turn
They're getting this place. I don't care what y'all trying
to find y'all trying to find housing for the for the for
for 4 minutes for Venezuela with Latinos for all that. You
do send them over here when I need to go back. What time
are you off tonight there? I just need to come help because
prostitutes that's prostitution that's behind their
supposed to push it that's behind all of these Police
District. I live in streeterville is prostitution right up
the street. I mean and y'all continue to allow this to
happen like like it was the most hated ain't going to
continue. I know you don't like him as teachers and some of
y'all
Okay, I'm trying to tell you my tax money is not going to
continue to allow this y'all need to find our money. You
need to put more more more things in our neighborhood.
Y'all aren't doing nothing but small business is only thing
I know is this is more than that. This is the most
segregated city in the United States is looking at us this

hearing no objections
Hearing no objections so moved.
The chair recognizes automobile three items on the agenda.
However, my desire is only to ask for one item to be voted
on in the affirmative.
unlock
Unlike other people in this body. I don't wish to silence
the people from having a voice as far as the bring home
Chicago ordinance. I want the voters to hear that ordinance
and have a chance to vote on.
However
I do believe that we need to have the people also to vote
on whether or not they want to remain a sanctuary City.
the
The reason I have brought this with some of my colleagues
to the floor is not to eliminate Chicago as a sanctuary
City.
But what it is is to find some kind of compromise and
threshold to stop the bleeding that we're undertaking right
now when you look at what the city is dealing with we're
spending when we had 12,000 migrants. We were spending 31
million dollars a month at that.
We have 20,000 migrants today. So what is the price tag on
that now and we can't get solid answers to what is causing
us right now. Now we're being asked to go for a budget that
we can't get answers to as far as how much money we're
going to be potentially spending next year on The migrants.
Where is saying? We're hoping we get money from the state.
I'm hoping we get money from the federal government. I'm
hoping money just falls out of the sky.
But those are hopes and dreams. We have a physical
responsibility to vote on a budget that is sound going
forward to get us through 2024 and the budget that's been
presented to us does not solve that problem. And so all I'm
asking is that we give the people of this great city of
Chicago.
Pants that have a voice on this issue now I guarantee you.
that
Bet if he'll Washington was here today what he signed into
law as an executive order is not what he intended for
today.
insult
And so when people when people say well he'll Washington
did this times were different. We didn't have people coming
to this city by the thousands. Now when you look at what
else is happening in this country, we have other Democratic
City, Denver.
Calico
California La sending people to Chicago New York, they're
sending their migrants to Chicago. Why because they said we
can't take anymore.
Chicago has yet to say we can't take anymore.
We have to draw the line somewhere.
if I
It's a diversion to continue to say this is a federal Prime.
We need help from the federal government. Yeah, we know
that.
But while we're waiting for the federal government to act
we need to be doing something here at home to protect us.
now we
Now we don't even know the people who are coming to
Chicago.
the people
The people that are coming here, we don't know if they have
criminal background. We don't know if they're child
molesters. We don't know if they're murderers. We don't
know. We don't know anything concrete about the people
coming here. Now when you look at what's happening
Venezuela are emptying their jails and telling them to walk
to the Border.
there come
They're coming to Chicago.
we
We already have enough crime here in a bit of Chicago. We
have enough crime here that would dealing with.
If I can go on and on but Madam president, and I think
you're doing a wonderful job up there. May I add you doing
a wonderful job?
This is just a question a non-binding question to ask the
people who are paying this 30 and 40 million dollars a
month if they want to continue down this road, or do we
want to make our elected officials to try to do something
different?
I said this.
I said this before it.
No, I said this before.

The chair recognizes Alderman Urban a point of order
supersedes your point, sir.
So I do want us to come to some resolve here. I would prefer
that we talked to some resolve in the right way from
yesterday's meeting. We took two items that were deferred
and publish the den requires us to come back to the next
regular regular schedule council meeting to deal with those
items. One of the items that you want to consider today is
one of the items that was deferred publish. That's number
one. Number two. We don't have 34 members here in order to
suspend the rules and take care of any business cuz all of
this stuff is talking to me right now. So unfortunately I
would like to get to where you want to go out but I would
like for us to do it in the proper way that doesn't render
render us Nolan boil Northern boy in this particular
situation. So what I said that this that is item be ruled
out of water.

He recognizes you Alderman Lopez. Thank you madam
president. I renew my calling of the question and ask for
an immediate roll call vote.

Cherubim is pointed out that the rules need to be
suspended. Is there a motion to suspend the rules or we we
have a properly issued notice for a special meeting with
the sole subject clearly stated were in full compliance
with the meetings open meetings act. I'm not aware of any
rule that needs to be suspended in order for us to take
action on that item today. We have to suspend the rules. We
should be stating what rule requires suspension because I
personally don't believe there is one. Thank you.
Alderman Hopkins our rules dictate that this has to go
through the committee process.
Sorry Alderman. I haven't recognized you. Just give me give
me a moment.
Just a bit further answer to Alderman Hopkins Part of Me
Part of me. Please answer your question Alderman Hopkins
item to was held in the committee on rules.
But to hear these today, we would need to vote to suspend
the rules and this is under rules 41 of our Rules of Order
and procedure that states quotes all ordinance shall be
referred to the appropriate committees and only acted upon
by the city council at a subsequent meeting on the report
of the committee unquote. So this item was held in
committee and not report it up.
I am ruling that the rules need to be suspended for.

There is a request or appeal. This ruling is out of order.
The state law is not appealable issue because it explicitly
gives us right to the Alders to defer a report to the next
regularly scheduled meeting.

Before the alderman of the 35th Ward spoke to we're not

doesn't count towards Quorum or the roll call for today

being present and I haven't heard him being included in
this conversation today. So I would refer back to the
original appeal of the decision of The Chair by Alderman

That the chair recognizes automobile. I would like the
Corporation Council to issue an opinion on why those people
cannot be counted as president when they were initially
added to the roll under rule 59. I would like to have
Corporation counsel. Give us a ruling.
Underworld 59 when we took a quorum call Quorum was found
lacking. We can take into account the for folks that are
participating virtually.
whisper
respectfully
When we have a quorum, we voted to allow four people into
the room after that point. Those people are allowed because
we voted to give them the authority to vote and to be
present from that point on you cannot unilaterally say now
it's convenient for us. We going to exclude you because we
don't want you in the room. So again I ask for a ruling
from a corporation console on that issue.
You can.
You can give me give me one minute.
We do.
We did not have a quorum and so remote participation is not
allowed under the rule.
Right. Now we have two choices. We can either adjourn or
recess the chair recognizes Alderman Lopez.
Madam president forgive me, but we actually have three
choices and I moved for the selection of a new temporary
presiding officer of this meeting.

of this meeting, which is well within our rights during a
special meeting or when we're still trying to organize our

temporary presiding officer a simple majority of those

body to preside over this special meeting and asked for a
roll call vote.

Alderman Lopez this violates rule two of the orders. We've
offered to either recess or adjourn and without an option
to recess. We are going with my decision of the chair to
declare picking a presiding officer out of order.
Again, this meeting is adjourned.
